  • With a full set of coupling rods fitted, it was possible to move No. 2007 Prince of Wales as an eight-coupled locomotive for the first time, the locomotive being gently rolled to and fro inside Darlington Locomotive Works.

Then paint it. Then change every few years from LNER Green. To B.R. Garter Blue. Also like SILVER LINK!! OK 👍!! THANK YOU!! GOD BLESS THE QUEEN ON HER 70TH ANNIVERSARY!!!!! ALLELUIA!!!!! AMEN 🙏.

    Ummm…..interesting of course but, is 16 seconds the limit to what was deemed worth putting on RUclips? How about a walk around showing the progress on everything that’s happening ? Have been considering unsubscribing on account of lack of updates and content, if this is the best you can do… I will check back in another year and see what ? …a couple more very short videos . 😕

      I totally agree with this comment. And I’ve also commented myself about the opportunity being literally thrown away to get more interest and thus more. funding. I’d rather give donations to a lesser project where people actually make an effort that these lot can’t be bothered to.

      We are addressing the video issue, there will be a fuller update once we can get the locomotive on rollers for a proper chance to turn the wheels. The Works building is very short!!

Remember that the majority of roles in the Trust a filled by volunteers and we are actively looking for someone in the Darlington area who can fulfil this role. I can assure you that we make plenty of "effort" in other directions.

      @@thep2steamlocomotivecompan19 Sometimes things are posted in the internet which in hindsight are not the cleverest or the most helpful. And in hindsight my comment last night could have been phrased (significantly) better - I accept that.
      I had thought that the previous upload about the P2 Convention - which was just the job - was going to be the start of something new from P2 Locomotive Co in terms of upload quality and thus felt really frustrated that this really short U-Tube clip was just a step backwards to earlier uploads, one of which I had already commented on. So I’m glad that the issue of improving P2 Loco’s U-Tube channel is being addressed - it’s bound to bring in subscribers and thus cash.
      As I’ve said before, this doesn’t need to be brilliant. The Festiniog Railway stuff is now a very high standard (it wasn’t always) and there’s a great series on The Steam Workshop channel on the restoration of 2’ gauge Fowler (which could be a model format of future P2 uploads). But even just an unscripted I-Phone upload works - see Rick at the Youngstown Steel Heritage (probably the ugliest locos in preservation) - sometimes he talks too long, but it is interesting and fine to watch.
      So I’m glad that P2 Locomotive Company is looking for someone to help. But why not say so on U-Tube? And I’d love to be that person, but I don’t even live in the UK. And I’ve just come back from spending this morning at a heritage project locally and will be back there Saturday.
      Best wishes
