41:39 even that dog hates the look of the T-1’s
From #4 onwards, this least favorite steam locomotives list turns into a most hated Steam Locomotives list.
Even if Thomas is an embarrassment to rail fans, many heritage lines rely on Thomas events to make money. I can understand your absolute hatred though as I've been bullied by others for being a steam rail enthusiast just because of the little blue devil
I also heard that the T1 trust is ironing out some of the biggest problems like the wheelslip and they are putting on a simpler Type B poppet valve gear as seen on the C&O L2-A Hudson.
Join the club, Jim. #BigBoys4ever
Also, I think a better named for the B&M T1s would be "Dementors", because there's a hood covering their face
Now that you mention it...
If you think the PRR S1 was bad, check out the experimental AA20 of Russia, that engine was a 4-14-4. And as you may have guessed, it literally straightened some tracks.
Elliot LJ it also damaged some switching tracks!
It should've been #0.
I'm disappointed about The Experimental AA20 of Russia because it wasn't really a proper locomotive. It wrecked every points it passed over, derailed almost every time it moved, it was to long for turntables, it was too big for couplers at that time, it was too long, too powerful, function over form, restly completely thrown out of the window and unceremoniously scrapped 23 years later in 1960 after 1934-1936. And if somebody's buying to build a full size replica of The damn long thing, THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO IT!!!, one one has already been enough. TWO can't be Incredible. It will be complete disasters!!! So the AA20-1 didn't work, and it was too big, too long, and too powerful. And if someone still wants to build a full size replica of The Experimental AA20-1 of Russia, THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO IT BECAUSE IT VERY FUCKING SUCKED!!! And if Jim would've put it on his list, then he would use like 4 F bombs! And if we want to build a full scale steam engine, do it based on a class that was actully good. Like the Regular Soviet 2-10-4 Texas type without having the cylinder over the middle wheels like the OR23, or the Extinct Canadian and American Texas types, Or the extinct UP 4-10-2s, or the SP, PRR, UP, Santa Fe, Frisco, N&W, SSW, CB&Q or The B&M 4-10-4s, or the 2-10-4s from South Africa and Brazil, Or the German 2-12-0s, or the Extinct 2-10-2s, 2-10-0s, and the 0-10-0 Big Bertha next member #2291 from the UK, or the 2-10-2s from the UK. And while we're at it and if we have a million bucks to spare. Why not get ourselves new cars. And for us personally, there can be only 3 #20 because the 20 is in The Experimental AA20-1 of Russia. Like one in the US, UK and Canada.
The 34027 "taw valley" was originally going to be the hogwarts express,but GWR 5972 "olton hall" was chosen to be the hogwarts express instead of 34027 because the director of Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone said that 34027 looked to modern for the film,so 5972 is now the hogwarts express.
Phew
Coming back to this video after a long time & becoming an adult, I've come to realize that you used some of the Soundtrack from 'Transformers: Armada' in this video. Specifically, the OST was used for entries number 8, 6, and 1.
And I love all three of these music pieces, as they (Those specifically used for entries number 6 and 1.) really sells the idea that the Decepticons were a far more major threat than what they were back in G1.

Oh boy I have a *MIGHTY* need
The southern q1 is neville's real life counterpart but neville's number is 33010 just like engine # c10 and......
"But he had a square body like a diesel"(from "Thomas and the new engine")
As much of a failure the s1 is, I still admire it because of its strange wheel arrangement, and it’s streamlining. Plus I’m also biased for American steam locomotives.
Even though I agree with your talk on the E2's, I still like Thomas the Tank Engine to this day as a grown up.
username checks out
MrSonicthehedgehog31 and Waallrus The Big Gay are right, they still like Thomas the Tank Engine to this day.
MrSonicthehedgehog31 weren’t the E2’s used on shunting
Amtrakfan 406 yes they were.
MrSonicthehedgehog31 good point
There are 2 problems you forgot to mention for the Bulleid Leaders. They consumed a ton of fuel, and the fact that 1 side has the boiler and the other has the coal led to uneven weight.
49:04 how is this a steam locomotive its clearly a diesel just by looking at it
What about the UP steam turbines?
@@844SteamFan they were an experiment
Even though I think the S1 looked really cool, I admit it's flaws really weighed it down. Hell I even once came up with a parody of the opening text to Bee Movie featuring the S1
It astounds me that the reverend w awdry chose the E2's to become thomas the tank engine. Why not choose an LMS 2-6-4t?!
Cgodofawesom1212 The Foxehodge Or even better, have him based on a LMS 0-6-0 Jinty
@@MrTrainiac2002 YES! That is a PERFECT choice!
Cgodofawesom1212 The Foxehodge Yeah, honestly Thomas The (blue embarrassment) Tank Engine looks less like an e2 and more like a Jinty. Especially in the tv series
Cgodofawesom1212 The Foxehodge Or an 0-4-4 like a LSWR M7? Or since Sodor is set further up north from London, how about something like a L&Y Class 5?
Cgodofawesom1212 The Foxehodge Also, as for the Adriatic (2-6-4), they’re not small engines that would be used for station pilot or branch lines. So a better question would be, why didn’t Awdry use the GNR J23 he sketched and modeled?
You scared me for the reading t1s
For once I'm happy a Great Northern engine didn't make it on a top ten list. But to play devils advocate for some of the engines while the Allegheny's never could reach their full potential (for most of their working lives) they did preform well enough in what they did, again not fantastic and had the C&O put them on fast freight they would have been perfectly fine, plus they did better then a majority of ATSF articulateds. And at least two out of 68 is a far better track record then two out of 252 Challengers built by Alco and Baldwin (mostly Alco) which were used on nine railroads, and to be totally honest the UP Challengers weren't the best ever made.
As for the B&M T-1 and PRR S-1... Okay I could only defend the Alleghenys since the points you brought up were completely valid. But I would like to thank you for informing me about the 2-12-6 design, I'm very interested in learning the history behind all sorts of locomotives whether they got off the drawing board or not. Sorry about your pet, and to hell with E2 fanboys.
Thanks for the empathy on my pet, sadly Halloween took her from us. And also thanks for the fuck off message to the E2 fans out there.
Jim van der Kolk I respect your opinion about the e2 class because I grew up with Thomas the tank engine and I’m still love steam engines as well as Thomas the tank engine. Sorry to make you more ticked off. And sorry about your pet. Plus there’s one thing we both agree on
@@amtrakfan4068 What would he be upset with you about? Because you like Thomas? He can respect your opinion.
844Steam Fan I know that
Those bulleid Pacifics looked like Rebecca from Thomas the tank engine and friends.
PS. That’s my last Thomas and friends reference I’m making
11:47 to 12:49 Steam Locos In Profiles GWR 5600 with Jim van der Kolk
It looks like a hidden Steam Locos In Profiles Episode that was never made.
Just asking a question, what are the dishonourable mention/mentions for your least favourite steam locomotives?
Besides, what’s the point of building a new E2 now when we know it’s gonna suck, and we have dozens of Thomas Replicas across the world?, including the one in Nashville which is the most accurate I’ve seen. I saw during the 2009 Day Out With Thomas Event when I was 6 and I had so much fun that day.
THANK YOU
At last I found someone who knew the E2's are shit. The fact I've seen literal children online fantasize about killing the men who scrapped these steam lemons simply because Thomas was one is both amazing and pathetic at once.
These engines were absolute shit and while I do have a guilty pleasure for the earlier Thomas seasons and Railway Series books, that shouldn't be a reason to warrant a new E2 built that would likely have all the problems the original 10 had.
The fact these POS lasted as long as 1963 will be one of the history of British Transportation's greatest mysteries.
Lol!!! What were the L&YR Class 28 steam locomotives like???😂😂😂😂😂
My 3rd cousin had that toy at 2:56! By the way, sorry about one of your pets not doing good! Hope you don't mind me pointing that out! And also, Hope your halloween isn't too bad in spite of the shit you all have to take doing this list!
You're actually the first person to mention my pets since the re-upload. So thanks for the extra bit of thought. Halloween wasn't ruined by this list since I recorded and edited it all in advance. But it was ruined because the pet in question sadly had to be put down...
Sorry about that! :(
Deleted the second comment due to a misread. We're all human. We make mistakes, we cry. But again, thanks for the empathy. ;w;
@@Jimboliah3985
So sorry you had to go through that, lad. I know what it's like having to put a pet to sleep, and it ain't a pleasant experience--at all.
@@Jimboliah3985 adleast the leaders ware usless as the british tank destroyer the fv4005 know as the shit barn
Behold the controversy 10:01
Fans: You should use the F bomb for the E2s
Jim Van Der Kolk: That sounds good, but instead, I think I'll cut and paste the F bomb 10 times.
Phew! You didn't do the Class 8 L&Y Hughes Dreadnoughts.....Or the GCR 9Q Robinson "Collier's Friends" (The Hughes Dreadnoughts were much better after rebuilding, but STILL heavy on coal, and the "Collier's Friends" were also heavy on coal as their nickname suggested, but to be fair, the "Collier's Friends" were LIGHTENING quick for their wheel diameter. Which was 5ft 8ins) But despite their problems, they are my favourite large pre-grouping engines!
44:04 *Jim:* "Britain's Worst Looking Pacifics"
*Bulleid Q1 Pacific:* Are You Sure About That?! *(Had this design been made it would've EASILY dethroned the A2/2)*
Someone needs to build a new S1, but put the needed modifications for it to work like making it shorter, having it so more the half of the weight isn't on the bogey and trailing trucks, and making sure it has easy access to the body of the loco for repairs and easy lubrication and probably like all the comments I have posted this might get a reply from Jim. (Also I like your content btw and I think you are a great RUclipsr.)
... how many loose screws do you have in your head again?
@@Jimboliah3985honestly way too many
It'd be interesting, but I think we'd rather have a Q2 replica than a modified S1 replica, who agrees?
How did you find out the T1 duplex is not going to brake the Mallards record?
I already heard that from my friend Christopher who said that the Trust decided not to gun for Mallard's record, and that the main focus is just getting the thing built and fired up for excursion passenger service.
+Jim van der Kolk That's good news. So what do you think about T1 trust now?
@@rail-ryder7135 better
she wouldn't have beaten it anyway, it's a STEAM ERA record, not preservation.
@@edwardbull3045
I guess there's a silver lining to Amtrak's excursion ban after all.
I'll respect your opinion of the E2 and, I don't blame Thomas for his unfortunate status.
It's mainly the fans, (specifically the ones who ship Thomas with Twilight Sparkle.) HIT Entertainment, and those bitchy SJW soccer moms who are moral thumpers who are at fault.
It was a great show from 1984-1998 and should of ended after Season 5.
As for the real E2's It's kind of unfortunate how they sucked as locomotives.
Brilliant
Lol!!! I love the LB&SCR E2 Class 060 steam locomotives and I love Thomas the tank engine.😂😂😂😂😂
What yours opinion on GTW USRA 4-6-2 5629
54:40 to 1:04:28 is a Tedtalk about why E2’s suck
I do agree with you about the E2 tank engines being a shitty class of locomotives and I used to like the E2s because of Thomas the tank engine but now that I discovered that they not very successful. I have started to hate the E2 tank engines and losing my interest of Thomas and Friends because of how bad the franchise has been over the years.
Originally, Wilbert Awdry wanted Thomas to be a LNER J50 tank engine but the illustrator stupidly decided to base Thomas as an E2 tank engine which resulted in Wilbert Awdry and the illustrator who he originally worked with argued with each other back then.
The illustrator who Wilbert Vere Awdry worked with was Reginald Payne who was the one who stupidly based Thomas the tank engine as an E2 tank engine instead of a LNER J50 tank engine in the first place.
In my eyes there are very few bad looking steam engines. most of the "ugly" ones on this list just have personality
I gotta say the S1 Duplex is a really stupid locomotive, I mean who would want to build a replica of it? I would rather build a replica of a Southern Pacific AC-11 Cab forward instead, if I've a huge pile of cash.
Thats why the s1 isn’t being replicated. The t1s are a more proven design, even if it wasn’t as good performance wise as an ac11. Also I wouldn’t replicate an ac11 I’d just restore the only surviving one
If I had to build and of the ac class of the sp. it would be the ac9 because it is the only class that wasn’t a cab forward.
How do you feel about the E2S, I don't feel you were clear enough. 🤣🤣🤣
I agree. The e2s do suck. Although I do think with a thorough rebuild they could’ve worked well. I think if they extended the bunker, extended the cab and somehow made it use less water. Then I think it would’ve worked perfectly for branch lines though. Then they would’ve never had to work at South Hampton. While it is idealised by popular culture I don’t think it makes it awful. I do think if Thomas didn’t exist or was a j50. Then the e2s wouldn’t get as much hate. In fact they would just be forgotten about entirely. Still, while they may suck I can tolerate them. And if someone decides to do a replica I won’t complain. Also good job with the vid 👍
The only reason to make one would be for static display
54:36 you have screwed UP my friend you just criticized a man who worked hard to entertain us children and a locomotive who holds his name with grace and respect who did likewise!
yep he just made wilbert awdry look bad & whats worse he embarased me with this 1:04:15
Anyone know the name of the tune at 30:44? I have been trying to find this for ages and unable to haha
when you said project G1 i was like is it a trasformers movie lol
What is the music called when he was talking about the s1 duplex
You know even though the E2 class were disliked and what if the E2 class were rebuilt with modifications like for example a better water capacity and a large coal bunker on the Tank Engine that's just my opinion
In my honest opinion Thomas is okay, I did watch it growing up as a child, but I hate the fact how OVERRATED THE E2S ARE, like nearly every single person in the Thomas Community has an E2 OC with like emo hair or something, I honestly agree with you, the E2s fucking sucked, I'm glad none of them were preserved.
Tbh, Bahamas struggles for liveries in the same way Clun Castle does. To me, a double chimney loco doesn't look right in the traditional liveries
To me, the Q1s look beautiful. I love their design, and If you bully me for liking them in the comment section I will be outraged.
At 33:53 you did say that someone does like the Alleghenies.
They were actually pretty successful in service unlike the ones after.

No honorable mentions?
That’s sad
Here are the Hornable Mentions:

2. The PRR T1 (the ones with the controversial performance)
3. The D&H 2-8-0 Consolidations (the one with high maintenance and unsuccessful design.
4. The Union Pacific GE Steam Turbines
5. Russian Railways The Experimental AA20-1 of Russia.
When he said T1, I thought he meant Reading T1s.
Jim If the E2s were rubbish why did they then make it to BR Days?
Fortunate thanks to crap times for the Southern.
Jim van der Kolk The London Brighton and South Coast Railway E2s (I hate those engines as much as you do) could have ended service in 1930s or 1940s because Southern Railway in Britain was originally going to convert the ENTIRE Southern Railway with three rail electrification system in the 1920s and 1930s and have it done by 1960s but unfortunately Britain declared WWII and the three rail electrification system conversion for the Southern Railway was on hold.
That explains why the E2s (The Really Useless Engines of them all) kept working into Southern and British Railway days.
I feel like he was too harsh on the e2s. Yes they may be bad engines but that doesn't mean you have to be so harsh. I bet a most of the dislikes on this video is because he said thos thing about the e2s and thomas. hope the thomas community doesn't find you because I feel they might.
Even as someone who likes Thomas, I hate the E2s as well. They’re pretty ugly.
What is the music on #10?
I love Thomas this is mean.
Just because the E2s were the base for Thomas, doesn't make them great engines. And not every steam locomotive enthusiast is a Thomas fan. Understood?
stick him in BR black and all will be fine
just kidding, scrap it
@Mason Liskai, This kid is obviously a troll and made the Thomas fans mad. Just ignore him.
I’m here to make everyone mad by saying I like the A2/3s and my favourite engines A2/3s being Airbourne and Steady Aim
Jim i don't want to be rude but everytime i watch the e2 part of this vid and then go and watch a thomas and friends episode with thomas I can hear all the negative thoughts about the e2 when ever I see thomas I no longer feel the same because of how much you hate them and besides that you kinda ruined my childhood a bit due too everything you said about them because I've known thomas and friends since I was 2 or 3 and am still addicted to the show at age 17 but besides that I no longer feel the same anymore when I watch my favorite childhood show oh and also screw shed 17 I'll never watch it ever because of how terrifying and scary it is I hoped you enjoyed reading this and I hope you don't say anything negative in the near future of a locomotive I like and you hate
After watching this video, my thoughts on the E2s and S1(both of which I didn’t know a whole lot about) have ever since permanently changed to agreeing with you and Chris Eden Green, for the better
1:03:41 that’s the most bullshit excuse for hated something have ever heard.
That’s like me saying: Transformers is bad franchise because it’s meant for kids whom were or were not into the Gobots mini figures. Or Power Rangers is bad franchise because it’s meant for kids who are into live action Japanese tv. Or Godzilla is bad franchise because it’s meant for kids who may or may not into Kajiu films. The list goes on.
There is a more personal reason why I have grown to hate Thomas.
During my time in secondary school I made a poem about a Big Boy for an assignment. A particularly douchy classmate asked if I meant Thomas the tank engine. Like many people who like steam locomotives would if they were in my position at that moment, I felt insulted, mocked because I like something different.
Jim van der Kolk
Don’t you think that makes more since than what you said?
Also that kid (like other kids and people whom aren’t into trains) probably didn’t mean offend you? Just saying
He totally did.
At 36:18 the moment you said t1s I thought you were gonna bring up the reading t1s not the pennsylvania locomotives sure that the reading t1s were built in pennsylvania that's what came up to my mind at 36:18*
No way I'd mention the Reading T1s in this video. They were very succesful Northerns and quite good looking. So what is there to hate?
@@Jimboliah3985 yeah they really are
Jim van der Kolk
Too right. Also, speaking of the Reading T-1s, two of them are currently undergoing restoration to working order. Those are the prototype machine, 2100 in Mount Vernon, Ohio and 2102 in Port Clinton, Pennsylvania--the latter on home rails, no less. The guys restoring the 2102 are dedicated to that task, and they hope to have her ready either by this fall or in 2020. When I ask for progress reports, we all say in unison "It'll be done when it's done."
I was aware of that.
Jim van der Kolk
Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to reply, ol' boy. Till next time.
Gosh I sure do hate TTTE I really hope a fandom doesn’t attack me
Totally forgot some other horrible designs. Like the friction wheel steam engines.
I Like The E2s There're Cute
Cute apperences don't make a successful locomotive.
@@Jimboliah3985 Oh Okay It's Just My Opinion On Them
Jim van der Kolk weren’t the e2 used for shunting
Amtrakfan 406 They were yes. But they were really dependent on water and there was less space for the fireman to shove coal into the firebox and P.S. they’re water tanks are too short.
@@Jimboliah3985 I Get That But The E2'S Were Super Good At Shunting BUT Just Because There's An Engine That Has Flaws That Doesn't Mean You Should Hate It
well not relley the b&m
nice hat
Y does everybody seem to hate thomas especially jim?! Yeah the new seasons r crap and so were the E2's but those aren't good reasons to hate ALL of thomas in my opinion. I probably wouldn't b a railfan today if it wasn't for thomas (and shining time station) plus the books that the classic series were based on were made by a railroad enthusiast sorry i dont see what's so bad about thomas other than he's an E2
Easy ammunition for bullies. Even if you haven't watched Thomas in a very long time because you have outgrown it (like me), there are assholes out there with no interest in steam locomotives or trains or railroading in general who'll cease the opportunity to make a fool out of you by synically asking if you like Thomas as soon as you say you like trains.
And guess what, that's exactly what happened to me. When I was still in school I made a short poem about a Big Boy locomotive, and a very irritanting classmate of mine asked if that locomotive was supposed to be Thomas. Part of me wanted to punch him in the face for that.
@@Jimboliah3985I would have given him a concussion in seconds.
I know Thomas is for pre schoolers but the fact that he perceived Thomas as a complete joke makes my blood boil
It's most likely due to the brand's popularity mixed with the show being so dumbed down over the years thanks to corporate meddling
It's like how Sonic the Hedgehog was seen during the 2010's thanks to an onslaw of bad Sonic games during that decade
I am sorry I tried to war h whole video BUT the constant piano music plus staring at your face every mi utero two and the uninformed comics res okrti g to models images from a game and diagrams from a schoolboys comic of the 50-60s was just too too much take a few thousand years SELFIES an d post them
The Pennsylvania railroad s100 is a piece of crap on wheels anyone agree?
Yeah they should have made some modifications before they scrapped it
To be fair, the E2’s were deemed successful by the LBSCR as they weren’t really designed for passenger work. As for the fuel capacity, look at similar sized locos like the panniers. The A2/2s honestly were not terrible, they just had bad slipping problems and seems to have suffered from their designer’s reputation. I’m not defending the DX Goods, cause they actually were as bad as people let on.
They were not deemed successful, if they were more would have been built. They were far inferior to any of their contemporaries from other companies.
Steve Barnes Considering there was a war going on and a backlog of repairs at Brighton because of it. That’s why on 17 of Billington’s K class moguls were built as the rest we’re abandoned. Looking at it from an objective standpoint, the E2s were successful at their intended purpose and just not versatile, which is what the fed panniers and lens jintys get praised for, even though all three are in the same league in terms of power.
@@lanesanders1530 So we're going to ignore the fact the boiler lacked the steaming capacity for the short trip goods they were designed for too?
Steve Barnes That’s the issue, some sources say the boiler was capable, some don’t. I’d say it’s a miracle we know so much about the E2s considering how little we know about locos from the same railway at a similar time. Like I said, the LBSCR seemed them successful. Just because the lacked versatility that other shunters had and was the base for a pop culture icon doesn’t automatically make it garbage.
I Like The E2 But I respect you opinion
JIM! Thomas exists to help railroad to run if he didn’t exist railroad like the southern Pacific will possibly run out of money (not to mention you won’t see 3985 run) Granted the E2 engines were unsuccessful but they built a new engine ( no it’s not an e2 it’s Thomas) not to mention Mattel Creations people are dummy’s but yeah. In my opinion you were too harsh on the E2
13:56 it’s Neville from Thomas!
No Thomas references, okay? If you watched the whole video, you know I hate Thomas.
Jim van der Kolk sry couldn’t help it. I see British steamer, I see Thomas character. Good video regardless
I HAD that same opinion like Jim van see kolk
But I actually like Thomas because he’s my childhood. But I hate F***king hate Mattel because there like MR KRABS FROM SPONGEBOB & NICK
I don't Find the E2 Tank engine that Bad But S1 is garbage
The PRR S1 could have been a lot better if it had been a 4-6-6-4 or 2-4-4-2 or for people who would like it to be a 6-4-4-6 put boosters in the trucks and would have been better as a articulated 6-4-4-6 that was skinner
Yeah, if the S1 was a streamlined 4-6-6-4 or a 2-4-4-2 locomotive, then there would've been more S1 4-6-6-4s and 2-4-4-2s built and one would've been preserved today.
DS1 is articulated 1
12:50
"LOOK AT ME, I'M A 5600!"
the same could be said for Strasburg 90.
it also had an extended smokebox, but while on the strasburg in the 90s, it was then shortened
10 f bombs counted during the e2 part
@d. yu yes I can tell it's a disliked engine from lots of railfans
I would have to disagree with Thomas being an embarrassment; despite being based on a feeble class of engines who should’ve been rebuilt if they meant so much to the SR and BR and how he and the tv series was watered down once Hit took over. That and his basis should’ve just been a J50 like Awdry envisioned or a freelance built on Sodor. His show and books are a source of inspiration to children who grew up to be railway enthusiasts and children who will grow up to be railway enthusiasts.
Your just saying Thomas himself was good not the class he was based on. This video was hinting more to the class and not the character.
The S1 was actually regarded highly by crews who ran her. As she was very smooth, very free steaming, and very fast. A division manager of Fort Wayne said that crew often had to hold her back, lest she breaks Mallards speed record. There was one time the S1 hauled a 90 car freight train at 73 mph. I liken the S1 to the Caledonian Single 123, a show girl who had a few tricks up her sleeves. I’d say the bigger failure was the PRR Q1 cool looking, but the opposing cylinders were a headache. Also the S1 was easier to maintain than the T1s due to the latter’s Franklin Poppet Valve Gear. Was she a show girl? Yes. Was she extremely long? No denying it. Was she slippery? All duplexes are. Was she a failure? Not really.
Does anyone wanna mention the fact that it allegedly beat Mallard's record on several occasions? (and also, the opposite cylinder headache was also on the B&O N1, which came *before* the PRR Q1)
This video was very entertaining and informative.

I literally thought number 1 were the LNER A2/2 Pacifics, even though the A2/2's were already on the list before number 1
Although they did suck, the A2/2s are nowhere near as bad as the S1 Duplex.
Jim van der Kolk
The S1 was good at one thing: advertisement.
@@Jimboliah3985 the AA20-1 of Russia is worse than the S1 because it's a 4-14-4. And it's longer than UP 9000. it wasn't a proper locomotive. It derailed while backing up, it damaged some switch tracks, it was too big for turntables, it was too big, functional, function over function. 😒
@@anasiacameronelijahedcpndc4324 even with the non flanged wheels it was just a flat out fucked up shitbarrel on wheels
I kinda like the Q1s. I appreciate strictly functional designs
I think if there was at least one Thompson engine worth bringing back, it would either be an L1 2-6-4, or the A2/3 prototype, #60500 “Edward Thompson.” 60500’s design flaws could be ironed out, and it would at least be a showcase of a Thompson Pacific that actually worked.
There's a catch about calling 500 the prototype Thompson Pacific. In reality, it wasn't the first one built, which is why I used quotation marks for it. I even said the A2/3s weren't even built in that exact numerical order.
That is true. Thompsons’ numbering scheme in those days was a bit peculiar, and it may have also led to confusion regarding his pacifics.
The MTH version of the S1 Duplex has the exact same problems the real one has.
Ooohhh. Thank god when you said t-1s and it not being the duplex I almost thought it was the reading t-1s.
... Why the heck would I dislike those lovely Northerns?
The reason I thought that was aside from the duplex the reading t-1s were the only other t-1 class locomotive I knew about before I saw this video .
39:24 "what were they thinking"
about the T1 replica
I wanna make a Milwaukee road F7
and then break Mallard's speed record for the following reasons:
1: bragging rights
2: for shits and giggles
3: it could also draw attention to this forgotten class
And for the last one:
Never before have I been so offended by something I completely agree with
and also about Thomas the tank engine, if it weren't for it, I probably wouldn't be a Railfan again
and the Railway series and S1-5 are pretty much not a embarrassment, the new dumpster fire garbage IS an embarrassment
You went all out with music choices from Transformers Armada.
You could say, I prepared an Armada for it. ;) *DAB*

Ah, I see what ya did there, mate. I gotta say, using "The Dark Warrior Attacks" for your segment regarding the abomination that was PRR S1 #6100 was ingenious. That bloody locomotive reeked of evil--and failure. Also, to answer your question at 1:08:46, maybe AJ traveled back in time for the sole purpose of mucking up the design of the locomotive. Also, AJ, if you're watching this, and you see this comment, I meant no disrespect. IT WAS A RUDDY JOKE!
And don't get me started on project g1 and shed 17 it's to gory
That's why I started. ;)
I'm pretty sure you heard of heard gnr no1
Are you doing a top 10 least international steam locomotives ?
No.
Honestly, I don't care how a loco looks. Sometimes this just means they care more about power and speed than looks, which explains EMD. Personally I like locos like the alleganies, they look different from others giving them something to be remembered by, except the A2s, they suck. But I respect your decision to be judge in a fashion show, but with trains.
53:16 ah. I always wondered what it would be like if the Double Farlie’s designer was on crack
27:12 *THEMS FIGHTING WORDS BOY. NO ONE TALKS ABOUT MY MOUNTAIN MAMAS LIKE THAT*
Sorry.
Overwatch who’s mountain mama?
@@amtrakfan4068 the comment was referring to the C&O Alleghenies.

Not to mention, at anywhere above “walking pace”, the E2s oscillated which made for a rough ride, thus why they sucked at pulling passenger trains
I totally agree with everything you say about the S1. Those designers should have been thinking about the mechanics 1st
