It's a very nice loco, and it's even a movie star to some extent (even though it barely got any screentime in Paddington 2 compared to Tornado). Hopeully it retains its elegant LMS crimson livery upon it's return to service.
Thanks. Definitely worth a trip to the East Lancs, two engines in steam & one diesel loco out each weekend during the summer, so always a good time to visit.
George Hughes didn't want a boiler pressure over 180psi, so unusually large cylinders were needed (Ernest Cox did most of the design, and later the BR Standards). They have to be mounted very high to clear platforms. The later Stanier redesign used a higher pressure boiler so it could have smaller cylinders in the usual place at platform level. It also lost most of the charm of the original.
Truly a wonderful film
My favourite loco there!
Just got one of these in N gauge. A very odd looking thing yet still pleasing to look at.
Great video. I think the Crab is a fine looking engine. Thanks.
Love this locos paint job! Thank goodness it escaped BR livery!!!

+preservedrailway sounds good as its a long journey for would probably cover a gala
The real life James I swear
Ultra Jacksgaming and animations that’s a LYR Class 27
@@samanli-tw3id actually, a Class 28....despite it being similar
Ultra Jacksgaming Actually this locomotive has similar features to James:
1) Coloured red
2) Has the same wheel configuration (2-6-0)
3) Fowler tender
No
If Mr. Krabs was a locomotive
I have an N - gauge model of one!
Is that the same engine for the National Railway Museum South Hall?
No, but it's the same class. The one in the Station Hall is No. 13000, the first member of the class, being preserved through the National Collection.
They're weird!

Not the prettiest engines ever, but useful nonetheless.
