    Bright colors for liveries will always be a favorite of mine, and I like seeing engines with pre-grouping liveries, mainly because it brings back a time that feels forgotten. This engine is a rare and wonderful gem, I thank the kind farmer who saved her. Great video as always Chris, you never disappoint.

      Two reasons why the rivit counters get upset:
      1) These locomotives didn't wear the Caley's blue livery whilst in service and wore a black livery instead.
      2) Compare this locomotive's blue livery with the other surviving Caley locomotive, No. 828 which has already been covered in a previous Sole Slip. They are painted in different shades of blue (I preferred 828's darker blue livery). It's a bit like the GER blue.

  • @macjim
    @macjim 3 года назад

    Mac in tosh, as in the way you pronounce the Macintosh coat…
    The problem with the engine having air operated brakes on the loco is, it’s a single pipe air brake system where, if the driver is not careful and makes too many applications will, have no means to stop the loco (apart from the hand brake) having used up all the air in the reserve… if vacuum is lost the brakes come on: the reverse for single pipe air 😱
    It also makes it a little tricky on wet rails to not have the engine slide as if it were on ice… not good if your heading towards the coaches you’re about ‘couple’ up too… so care is needed on applying the air brake and for the driver to think ahead as he/she wants to stop… just a wee touch too much air and you lock the wheels up… eek.
    Been there…
    The colour, yes I wasn’t much of a fan of it as I was very much used to the darker blue she wore in preservation but I’ve gotten used to it now. It’s the blue of the St Andrews flag.

    • @ChristheXelent
