- This video is a compilation of views of the three types of Bulleid Pacific locomotives in preservation, these being: Merchant Navy, Light Pacific and Rebuilt Light Pacific. Locomotives featured are: 35006 P&O, 35028 Clan Line, 34007 Wadebridge, 34092 Wells, 34027 Taw Valley and 34053 Sir Keith Park. In addition to lineside shots of the above locomotives there are footplate action shots on board 35006. Locations included are: Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway, Llangollen Railway and Severn Valley Railway to whom I am grateful. I also appreciate the co-operation of my friend, Nick Trudgian, for making available his footage on the footplate of P&O.
Pete Waterman's superb speech when renaming 35006 can be seen on companion video:
• PETE WATERMAN RENAMES ...
I do remember the days of steam, but not how great steam locomotives are. I was only 8 years old at the time and didn't understand that they would dissappear, thank goodness for railway preservation societys up and down the country. A fantastic opportunity to relive the romance of steam, a great day out.
Bulleid put his running motion
In a sort of oily potion
So it was the wheels went round
But hardly ever touched the ground
From Waterloo they'd gently start
With hefty push from rearmost part
Speeding swiftly to the west
Covered in a cardboard vest!
Gotta love those crazy Spam-cans!!! lol :)
Thank you for the poem: great fun :-)
Bullied was probably the most innovative chief locomotive engineer in this country. Definitely on a par with Chapelon.
I will never tire of hearing the exhaust from the unbalanced geometry of Bulleid pacific valve gear. Gorgeous.
Wow. Takes me back to my trainspotting days on Basingstoke station. That's where as a boy I last stood admiring 'spam can' 34007 Wadebridge. Great memories and great to see that same loco still running all these years later.
Very nice stuff, you start to smell that steam/coal mix even after 50+ years. I was a cameraman for years and have noticed how, so many people have avoided a nice smooth pan shot in so many videos - then at 19/20 mins in ! thank you :-)
Thank you Peter. That is one of my favourite locations on the SVR.
A highly polished production, Alan. Brilliant introductory scenes, quality footage throughout and very polished editing. It's very easy to see why this thoroughly enjoyable video is so popular. Now off to watch the 35006 companion video! Kind regards, Bob
Thank you Bob. That's most kind. Regards Alan
The best just keeps getting better, Alan - absolutely superb!
Thanks John. That's most kind.
John Oates !
Excellent video of my favorite locomotives, regards Graham
Thanks Graham. Mine too.
Alan
Alan, I thought at first you were competing with me for the 'on board' shots but sadly not. A lovely comprehensive compilation of these loco's at work in beautiful surrondings..... 10/10 mate, regards, Brian. (PS: I had a glimpse of Manston at Swanage but sadly did not run for me).
Thanks Brian. Unfortunately I haven't got your clout!
Pity about Manston. Swanage is very much on my 'to do' list.
Ha ha, not sure about that Alan. I think you would enjoy the Swanage Railway and the surrounding area so hope it's near the top of your list... Brian.
What a superb video Alan - one of your very best I would say.
Greetings and congratulations to Nick too; his footplate shots are a great addition.
The Bullied Pacifics have always been a favourite of mine. I had a clockwork tinplate 0-Gauge version as a young kid and was later enthralled when I first saw a real one up close - at Bath Spa Station of all places. I guess it must have been during the locomotive exchanges - was that 1957? In later years, of course, I saw them regularly on the SDJR - usually double heading the Pines Express. Great days.
Best wishes Alan - keep well,
Noel
Thank you Noel. I will certainly remember you to Nick. You know how jealous I get when you talk of the S&D!! Bet you wish you still had your tin plate engine today!
Warm regards Alan
Splendid stuff, Alan. Were you actually riding on the footplate to get some of that footage? Claire and I were on holiday down in Bulleid country for the past fortnight and enjoyed visiting the Kent & East Sussex and the Bluebell. See you soon. Phil
No. My mate Nick had that pleasure.
Regards
Alan
I have all ways liked slippers, west country, battle of Britain and merchant navy class engines.
Excellent compilation Alan.
Many thanks.
Nice video
How come 34092 "City of Wells" has been renamed to just "Wells"?
The Bulleid pacifics were fine engines but they only had a short life as rebuilt engines ,I wonder if they ever recovered the cost of rebuilding .
I doubt it.
Great video of Bullied locomotives in action, it always seems a shame to me that they are not pulling a train of green livery coaches, as that is how I remember them. Maroon livery BR coaches always looked so dirty even when new, and as for blood and custard coloured coaches, yuck! No wonder BR reprinted them maroon.
Thank you for your appreciation Annette. I agree regarding green coaches as I also remember them that way on the Southern although I don't agree re blood and custard as that was the colour of my boyhood on the West Coast Mainline. I hope that one day we'll have a green rake on the SVR. Alan
When watching RUclips videos, with my fifty plus year old Ian Allan combined edition, am I allowed to underline these great engines in red?
Just for my curiosity. How fast would she have been going at 6.18? Great video. I've watched countless times,and,always enjoy.
Thank you for that Allison. You've really got me digging into my mathematical memory bank there but I have come up with the following calculations which seem reasonable.
From the time that the leading edge of the front coach and the time that the leading edge of the thirteenth coach passes the same point is approximately 9 seconds. Assuming that all coaches are Mk2 at 64'-6" this equals a length of 774' ie 12 coach lengths. Therefore 774' x 3600 over 9 x 5280= 58.6mph.
For the second shot the time taken is 7.5 seconds therefore the speed is 70mph. I know that these are not precise figures as some of the coaches may be Mk1's which are a foot shorter and even slowing the video to .25 speed the angle of the shot cannot give a precise point (Time is taken from the video counter) but we are fairly close. Keep enjoying, Regards Alan
@@Parsound My,Oh! My....58.6mph,and,then Wow! 70mph! I fully understand the process behind your calculations,Alan,even though math was NOT my forte. That's impressive. It doesn't have to be precise,so,a mph either side of your estimates is more than acceptable. Great compilation,let me say. It has everything,even a tiny slip at the beginning,the fall,and,rise of the signal arm,the footplate views.{brilliant} Super scenery shots as well. It's got the lot. You need to make more compilations. Well done,and thank you.Awrabest,Allison
@@highphysics3617 Thank you for your encouragement Allison which is most gratifying. Kind regards Alan
At 13.40,there is practically nothing coming out of the chimney....and minimal smoke on some of the other clips...? How come....efficient burning??
In that shot she is coasting down a 1 in 100 bank However, it still requires good work by the fireman to keep the smoke to a minimum.
@@Parsound Wow! Again,Alan. 1 in 100 might just as well be level ground. Well done that fireman! I keep going back to it,expecting a huge white plume to emerge...
