Interesting compilation Superb captures. :)
Nice selection there I must say!
Another honourable mention for this topic would be GNR J52 no 1247 as that had travelled to Sacramento at some point in the early 90s.
23:10 SAR 7A 993 was a gift to sir David Shepard along side with one carriage which he place it in east somerset railway
Thanks
Thanks for putting the Canadian hunslets in there. In a way I wish they stayed over here because there all within a two hour driving distance of me but the majority of them weren’t getting the care they deserve and I know statfold takes good care of them.
Oh also do you happen to have more information about them? I can’t find much online.
In the caption you accidentally stated that M7 No. 30053 was built by the LMS at Crewe Works in 1938. It was, of course, built by the LSWR at Nine Elms in 1905.
Well spotted, indeed, copy of captain for Duchess and must of missed a full edit of details.
I wish someone would repatriate another gcr 8K from Australia or the middle east. That would be great. I really like those engines.
Are there any still in the middle east? Haven't read of any that are still around.
This is different. I like it! 👍
Nice compilation, this video showed what fate the SAR 7A had after its adventure at the Whipsnade Zoo.
I don't know for how long it had operated there but saw it mentioned in a list of preserved SAR locomotives from 1984.
Apparently it was in the Shildon museum in this video but where is it normally based now?
Do another episode if you get more footage, this one didn't cover all repatriates.
I know about 2 other cape gauge SAR locomotives in the UK, the GL class Garratt in the MOSI, and the class 15F in the Glasgow museum of Transport.
I have seen them both and they are true giants.
Great video, thumbs up :)
2:37 how did that railroad acquire a Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes 2 foot gauge passenger car? That railroad was all the way over here in the state of Maine
It was built in the UK at the Boston Lodge works of the Ffestiniog railway for the owner of the Darj. locomotive. It is a replica of the SR&RL parlour car.
@@DocCrocTheChemist oh okay
I'm assuming you just don't have any footage of locos on the L&B, but practically every loco except Lyn is a repatriated loco there.
I noticed that just after I'd uploaded, got some nice footage of Axe too.
@@preservedrailway oh
Recently an Aussie steam engine has found a new home at the Bala Lake Railway, Wales
7:57 I like how the steam engine goes past the line of out of service diesels. I can imagine it saying “Ah Ha! Who’s getting scrapped now?”
Those diesels certainly aren't! D5054 and 40106 are famous preserved engines in their own rights!
@@7822welshsteam Oh yeah? how do you explain the class 08 shunted without side rods?
@@SoulConsumer What?
CARLITO Plays either a restoration project or a parts donor for the 08's also heavily employed by Railway Museums & steam railways
You mean,
"Look who else made it out alive!~"
