  • Hard times hit the GNR. Underpowered locomotives for the increasingly heavy express trains, meaning that the engines are struggling. CME of the GNR, Nigel Gresley is put to fix the situation by designing a new class of express locomotives to replace the older ones. However, the process of getting the desired per-formance from the locomotive was not as easy as hoped.

    I've especially wanted to mention that I personally noticed that the sketch of an official experimental hybrid 4-6-0 steam-driven railway tender locomotive that'd ACTUALLY been designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley got featured in this video clearly showing how Henry the Green Engine came into the spotlight despite being a failure due to a small firebox from the start were obviously the same exact plans that an officially unknown locomotive builder stole in the year of 1919 WHILE ALSO DEFINITELY holding a grudge against him as specifically well-knowingly mentioned by GWR studios! Also, apparently for another fact is basically that the reason why Henry the Green Engine's firebox was considerably very small was basically due to the obvious observational fact that Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley had no choice except to sacrifice the size of the firebox in order to fit it between the last pair of drive wheels!

    I personally just suddenly came up with the officially well-knowingly clever idea of completely recreating Henry the Green Engine's own official complete experimental hybrid design from scratch with modifications that officially include bein' completely converted to burning fuel-oil instead of coal meaning that there's no complete need to get the expensive supply of Welsh Coal SINCE the Fat Controller himself certainly happened to basically have said that it's very shockingly surprisingly expensive!

    I've especially wanted to mention that I personally love this video shows a much less illegal backstory of Henry the Green Engine who's apparently been personally built a prototype of a new locomotive created by the famous locomotive designer known as Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley along with the introduction of Emily the Stirling single class steam locomotive created in 1870 by Patrick Stirling for the Great Northern Railway! In fact, it's completely obviously clear that I've personally decided to absolutely incredibly include Emily in Engine Arrival as well as especially in the famous series of NWR origins! In fact, it's completely obviously clear that I personally WOULD definitely like to also apparently include Alice in both series very easily!

    Flying Scotsman was No. 1472 before he became 4472, and according to The Great Race, Gordon is older than him. Given that the A1 numbers originally started at 1470…

    and that is Gordon's origins
    That's because fun fact Gordon's ancestry doesn't come from the UK but rather from the US as in 1914 the Pennsylvania Railroad or PRR, No.1737 rolled out of the Altoona works, she was the first of the PRR's famous K4 Class Pacific's and she is regarded as the first modern pacific to the point she influenced many Pacific designs around the world including Gresley's famous A1 & A3 Pacific's

      Largely because one US railway went all in on that, which ate their money like jet fuel. Union Pacific kept having problems with multi-heading trains, so they designed locos that could do it single-handedly. The problem was that designing and building such locos not only cost a pretty penny, but their maintenance also cost them as much. Let alone the entire gas-turbine fiasco (they got it to run on Bunker B oil... just as Bunker B was discovered to be a good feedstock for plastics).
      Eventually, UP was forced to do the same thing as everyone else because it was _cheaper_ in general.

    • @VestedUTuber
      @VestedUTuber Год назад

      @@TheTrueAdept
      It was more due to the limitations of steam power, as you couldn't just drive multiple steam locomotives from one cab. Even if you could hook up their controls for MUing (which was done in the UK and Europe with some tank engines for push-pull service), you'd still need a fireman for each locomotive. And even then you'd have no real way to account for inconsistencies between each locomotive in the consist. It was just easier to have the right locomotive for the job than to try and make due with a bunch of multi-purpose units.
      Also, the PRR went all-in on specialized locomotives as well, not just with steam but with electric power, and kept doing so up until their merger with the NYC to form Penn Central.
