Being originally from Darligton UK as a child I was brought up around Steam Trains I Love watching movements at Bo'ness and also follow the North Yorkshire Moors Railway ... Thank you ( and of course all the volunteers) who without these Heritage Railways could not operate .. Well done to all Peter Sutton Byford Western Australia September 2018
Need to plan My day out in the last days of 2022 ,The Diesel winter gala at Bo'ness ,Looking forward to this if I can get time off from my work ,Love this place ♥️Outside Linlithgow ❤️ Been going here since 1995 ♥️
Wow! I know nothing about trains. Just passing interest and admiration, especially for "deltic" type/style diesels, but even I can see that that is is a perfectly running engine!
When I was younger I got roped into helping start a old train.We had to use a big welder to boost tha batteries and a garden sprayer full of diesel or WD40 to get them going........Good times lol
If I was there I'd have multiple cups of hot chocolate one every hour and for breakfast bacon eggs and sausages cooked on a clean shovel in the firebox I've always wanted to try that. Snow looks nice on a sunny day but I wouldn't want be working in it.
probably cranked it over without fuel for 30secs, gets oil in there and warms them all up. Fuel vapour actually cools the cylinders and isn't very productive to crank with fuel running on a cold start
They are still using steam? wow. Converted to oil I assume. Do they have a shortage of locomotives or something? Steam isn't competitive I don't believe but it is nostalgic.
+velociforce I'm not sure what your question is. The line is a heritage railway owned and operated by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society. Look up Bo'ness and Kinneil railway on Google (you do know how to do that?) for as much information as you want.
It basically goes about 1-2 miles upto an old clay mine at Birkhill station (shut down now as far as i am aware) then turns back to Bo'ness. I'm sure the tracks do lead onto a main line somewhere i'e Edinburgh/Glasgow but don't think they are in use anymore? Bo'ness railway is mostly if not completely run by volunteers and has a museum which is worth a visit on it's own never mind the train ride to Birkhill. It also has kids days etc where Thomas the tank has been known to put in an appearance now and again.

That 27 is running perfectly, no smoke at all. Someone's done a lot of work on the engine- and all credit to them! Thanks for sharing, great to see.
No problems in that snow... What a beast..
Always liked the 20,26,27,33 locos
Nieve, fuego y vapor en una magnífica conjunción. Muchas gracias.
Great vid, enjoyed every minute and subject, thanks.
Awesome, thank you!

Jesus, the sound of that old steam engine taking off is unbelievable.. a true engineering masterpiece!!
Nice startup without any drama of the 27. I think it's safe tot state that the Sulzer diesels are better at starting in the cold than the EE's.

Stephen, I hope you can get some time of your work and visit the Bo'ness Diesel winter gala and thanks for your comments all the very best for 2023
The magic of steam locomotives still going strong. Also among todays children while even I with my 50 years of age are born way beyond the steam era.

Beautiful scenery!!!!
It really is!
Handsome all those BRCW locos
Thank you so much

Fantastic video, perfect cold start and the steam engines were perfection even if the return run may of been a bit chilly for the reversing lead.
Glad you enjoyed it
0.15 - What no clag..??!
Running like a Swiss watch!
Well they are made in Switzerland
@@andymathieson3678 Said tongue in cheek..
The 27 seems to start up a lot more quickly than a 37 from cold.
probably cranked it over without fuel for 30secs, gets oil in there and warms them all up. Fuel vapour actually cools the cylinders and isn't very productive to crank with fuel running on a cold start
Beautiful scenes.
I was looking forward to some proper clag. I guess that engine has been rebuilt recently.
its not English Electric, so it doesn't clag much cold
maybe it is just about trains but to me it seems much more about poetry....
Looks like it's going to need those miniature snowploughs!
Class 24 through 27 the best 👌
Great video. thanks for posting this.
super cold start sound
Even in the cold
Never knew No. 17 used to be down in Bo'ness - when did it come north to Aviemore?
They are still using steam? wow. Converted to oil I assume. Do they have a shortage of locomotives or something? Steam isn't competitive I don't believe but it is nostalgic.

How does a pusher coordinate with the front engine? It seems to me that, if a pusher pushes too much, it could buckle the train. Can someone explain?
They're probably in communication with each other by radio, or even cell phone these days.
We don't have "cell phones" in Scotland. We have "mobiles" ;-)
Looks like UK trains in Canada eh ;)
i dont understand
is this railway a full railway? or is their a second stop? is it a loop? or is their only 1 station then a dead end further up?

You know, this got me thinking, I've never seen any cold start videos for straight electrics.
The videos are very rare ;-)
I think I know the answer: Those videos would be extremely boring!!
Would you want to...?
If so why...?
Very Nice...''
was it really stone cold?!
tpvalley I bet it has some kind of block/water/fuel/air heaters, that started waaay too easy!
cmsracing unless the engine is in as new condition! I think u r most likely right though; they take ages normally!
Also it's nearly Christmas 2017
Thomas The Tank Engine has nothing on these.
Oh kob
