      Yes, I still remember a boy. At that speed, the trains used to rock back and forth with the force of the pistons. Alas, obviously this couldn't be simulated in this clip.

    I remember as a kid being taken by my OM to one of the local ECML stations in northern Northumberland - I remember the name began with a B, so that would make it either Beal or Belford. We saw an A4 hauled southbound approaching at very high speed - it could not have been far short of 100mph. What impressed me the most was the way the engine was swaying rapidly from side to side from the power of the pistons as they propelled the train down the track. As it roared through the station it was a very impressive site - a testimony of the genius of Gresley, the former LNER chief mechanical engineer.

    Wow !! Beautiful on ANY level !!
    Sometimes we forget what a REVOLUTION Railroading was.
    I'm thinking it was maybe 1 of 4 Inventions that together changed the world, and out of which everything SINCE grew -
    1. STEEL - Modern Steel Production
    2. Rail-Roading ( Cars and airplanes, etc. grew out of the technology) AND the realization that EFFICIENT Transportation was a must
    3. Air Conditioning - making unpopulat-able (? _;-)) !_ ) areas livable: Urban areas, homes, hot and arid areas
    4. Long Distance Communications
    But in my PERSONAL opinion, it took RAILROADING to bring it ALL to the WORLD !
    What a BEAUTIFUL example of Art, Engineering and Human NEED all converging in this example of some of our BEST -
    and most beautiful !

    It makes perfect sense why folks over here in America were just gaga about her when she came here.

Scotty is a true work of art, its paint, its technological capabilities, its styling and everything about her invigorates the imagination. Not bad at all for a 100 year old engine that death can never hold a candle to. I’ll see you in person one day❤️

    There is another loco banking the train at the rear. Wonder if it had a role to play in maintaining this speed.

    That desiel in the back reminds me when Gordon started off so quickly before they could uncouple Thomas from the coaches and he was dragged all the way to wells worth......lol

    Grande !
    As youngsters in Ireland, mon ami, we always loved it when the trains passed by at a leisurely rate, as it provided us a great chance to bounce a few ripe tomatoes off some of the pork-pie-faced blokes who stuck their mugs out the window/door openings. Mon Dieu, what fun. ESPECIALLY if they were holding a pint a' bitters that they then dropped!
    Ho-Ho-Ho!...as Monsieur Santa would say.

    What is there to Calculate ? Articles say it was clodked @160.9 KPH in 1934 which is 100 MPH

    So cool that in 2020 we can occasionally do 125mph. Best thing, by the time HS2 is completed we could have had luxury coach, Lorry and family pods equipped with LIDAR and global nav operating at 160-200 mph on improved motorways for a fraction of the price of HS2

      I honestly don't understand why they didn't just upgraded our railway that we already have here in the UK to accommodate faster trains than build a brand new one, would have been far cheaper I'd guess too 👌🏻
      The Alstom Class 390 Pendolino's are capable of 140mph but are limited to 125mph due to the lack of in-cab signalling ability.
      They could have easily upgraded our existing railways to allow 160-200mph trains, but why do we need to go so fast? 125mph gets you to London from the north in around 2hrs to 2hrs 30mins, and it'd be even less if it was an express non stop service.
      The Class 390 does 125mph on a daily basis in service, it's not just occasionally 👍🏻
      I find it very impressive that these Steam locomotives can keep up with modern train's, and even beat some of the older diesels 😁
      And as for motorways, Leave them well alone, these so called smart motorways are a complete an utter disaster and are quite frankly death traps, that need to be scrapped and made back into standard motorways.

    I believe there is a (75mph ?) speed limit for these historic trains in the UK, so unlikely to be her old 100mph max in-service days. Galloping along, nevertheless. Wonderful to see.

      @jonathanparry7824 2 года назад

      That’s correct but they do occasionally get special dispensation to go 90+ mph. If you want to a good clip of an a4 doing a genuine 101mph on RUclips then search “60007 on the move” it’s a pacing video captured in the 90’s apparently it’s was the drivers last run before retirement

    I know it really could go this fast, but the way the description is worded leads me to believe this was sped up. I just want to confirm if this specific footage was sped up or not. Even if it is, it doesn't take away from the incredible nature of this machine.
