As my favorite steam train is Union Pacifics 844, i have to admit British steam is pure art! Its absolutely beautiful. i always find myself coming back to this video its perfect the music the shots everything is incredibly well done 👍🏾
If the PRR T1s can reach 140 mph(224 km/h), or the S1 can hit 156 mph(249.6 km/h). Then, there is only a sentence to say, "so much for slow and weak steam locomotives".
We can only dream to see her out of retirement I was told by sombody at the NRM that it would cost almost 1 million pounds to bring her back to mainline standard and he said they dont want to risk damaging her but he never said it couldn't be done😉
This is Bittern basically steaming on behalf of all her sister a4’s and fellow steam locos and ancestor locos and saying “Up yours dr beeching!!!” You’ll never get rid of steam and it will always be king of the rails!!
Reality check here. 60 years ago, "We need more efficient, more powerful, and more economical locomotives." Then, "Absolutely, we are investing in diesel and electric." A few years later, "Glad we are rid of the steam." Now, "Gosh how we miss these magnificent machines."
well people find horse carriages, like the one that takes royal weddings to cathedrals, charming but no one wants that to be the way they go to work in the morning.
I would like to live in that age for some time... I think instead of travelling in space, I would prefer travelling in time. England is a beautiful country in 2018, but I would like to see it 1938... Hercule Poirot, ABC Murders, London - Doncaster - York - Edinburgh... Or? :D we could maintain some steam trains in regular service :)
When I get older I’m going to build a narrow gauge railway through the settlement of where I live to and I’m going to build a4 Pacifica to run the line and a couple of more steam locomotives 🚂 along with my a4s I already made my plans
0:49 For fucks sakes mate, this is the fifth fucking tomato I have ordered that you managed to fuck up and drop on the table. Don't tell me your going to go get me another tomato mate, get me your manager now!!!!!!!!
I still say a speed rocord doesn't _really_ count if you break the damn loco in the effort. Which they did. Smashed the backplate of the middle cylinder, or something like that, couldn't handle that kind of speed (of course it was like 30mph faster than it was intended to _ever_ go)
Well it does count, and the engine was not really broken, though it was designed for fast running. The middle big end overheated. They were still learning about high speed running, the steam was shut off fully in the need to slow down, this was later proved to be a mistake, though in the circumstances perhaps a necessary one. The resultant absence of cushioning steam to absorb the loadings due to inertia of the motion caused the problem. The same problem occurred elsewhere in the world too. The engine had the offending bearing re-metalled at New England shed in Peterborough. It then went to Doncaster for a full examination to be carried out and the engine was back in full service 9 days later. There was to be another attempt on the record in September 1939, the engine was expected to achieve 130 mph on the 1938 run but a speed restriction through Grantham on the day presented an unwanted obstacle. WW2 presented another to the 1939 plan.
It overheated a bearing, but still completed the trip under her own steam and didnt need to be towed. I wouldnt call that "breaking" anything. Also they did it on their literal first attempt. WW2 squashed hopes of trying again, it could have gone faster without damaging anything due to teething issues with what was still a new design if they had a few more goes at it.
LocoScrapper i suppose we should pull down tower bridge and the Westminster abbey too? there's too many people in the world, especially in the uk, shall we have a maximum age limit to help the nhs? hmm? shut up.
@@medenicaribovski9089 The fact is, I have won this debate. The majority of steam locomotives have been cut for scrap and recycled. They will not return either. The burning of fossil fuels is causing global warming and climate change.
My mother's father or grandfather drove Cornish Riviera & wrote a little book about locomotive mechanicals. I found it on the internet once. His name was Vaughan.
andgate2000 Soo true mate. Imagine seeing that majestic train for the first time and you say "Wooow" and then the driver whistles and when you hear the whistle and you're like "Ughh WTF".
I know; ruins them. And this is one of the better ones. No bells, no chime whistles, no headlights. I prefer American all around (though I admit that the Mallard is one sharp looking type, especially compared to most British iron).

The sound of the whistle is absolute sublimity! A perfect tritone!
People: steam engines are so slow
A4: hold my water tank
*Goes 125 MPH*
Steam locomotives can in fact go much faster than 125 to 126 mph.
If the PRR T1s can reach 140 mph(224 km/h), or the S1 can hit 156 mph(249.6 km/h).
Then, there is only a sentence to say, "so much for slow and weak steam locomotives".
@@thomastsangthomas1616 Bollocks! lol no proof of either
@@jonathanparry7824 you have no idea of that
Beautiful. Fair moved me to tears. I don't think there's anything more lovely than an A4 at speed...or even just standing still. Great film.
music: brilliant
Video & 4464`s effort: brilliant
They should never get retired. An A4 locomotive is timeless.
They should fix Mallard BCS it's possible it will need new parts
@@henrycummins764 Yes.. 👍👍🇪🇸🇪🇸
@@henrycummins764it would cost 1000s to do that
I loved the gradual escalation till the last whistle. Bravo director.
Absolutely top notch. Feeling part of this n love cold play in the background. Lovely :)
Ran behind her in the past,was a great trip..and what a great turn of speed from this `greyhound ` of an engine? Nice footage,well done.
I could only imagine the reciprocating forces on those side rods at 126
Maybe for the hundredth anniversary of that record-setting run they'll bring Mallard back into steam. Now that'll be a sight to see.
We can only dream to see her out of retirement I was told by sombody at the NRM that it would cost almost 1 million pounds to bring her back to mainline standard and he said they dont want to risk damaging her

They did it for the 50th. Now let’s petition for the 100th in 14 years time

Wish there was more of these, the music went so well with the video.
Check out "East Coast Racer" by Big Big Train. It's actually a song about Mallard.
my father in law was a steam engine driver ...It's really wonderful ..I simply love the whistle ...🥀
Fantastic video - many thanks.
Thats one fine steam locomotive for sure.I love the speed!!
Lovely bittern what a fast train
The way she thunders through....
This is Bittern basically steaming on behalf of all her sister a4’s and fellow steam locos and ancestor locos and saying “Up yours dr beeching!!!” You’ll never get rid of steam and it will always be king of the rails!!
The stark beauty of Lewis Cubitt's 1852 King's Cross train shed to end the video.Perfect.
The sound of the steam locomotive still thrilled me, pushed and flashed my childhood memories back, next station.....❤from India.
Realmente es una locomotora maravillosa, y encima extremadamente veloz.
Beautiful and cool train. I would rather watch it than ride behind the engine. Far more fun.
That is a very fine piece of engineering.
Super beautiful!
What a terrific video!!
Best steam run in years!!
Wow, new favorite video.

Now they are starting to ban diesels for enviromental and the US wants to order new steam trains lol
we are really lucky
Wonderful,thank you very much for the taster :-)
FIRST TIME IVE SEEN THIS VIDEO......MAGICAL
and such a beautiful video I loved someone in 2022 post covid I think
Incredible piece of engineering.

I like this shot of Bittern and Gresley Together
I love this I love bittern or mallard class a4
I like the video and the music
Bittern: Yes 90MPH
Tornado:I’m about to end this mans whole career with 101.6MPH

With only 2 A4’s left in operational use I now have to find a way to Get a trip to the UK before they retired from service
What is the video they say is available and where do I get it?
Long Live Trains!
If only there was a _Need for Speed: Train Simulator_ game that exists, I could enjoy the experience of ridin the rails.
Wonder what 90 was like on jointed track?
best video in the world
If there was ever a super train its the A4 mallard
I would like to live in that age for some time... I think instead of travelling in space, I would prefer travelling in time. England is a beautiful country in 2018, but I would like to see it 1938... Hercule Poirot, ABC Murders, London - Doncaster - York - Edinburgh...

The drivers apparently were saying she could've easily topped a tonne but they couldn't get the clearance!

Cool video, but the music sucks. I want to hear the train!
Too right mate. Music unnecessary.
I like the music
y aca no podemos hacer anda un tren!!!!! por favor .
Bittern is the same 4-6-2 class as Mallard. Bittern is the best train of British Railway. Bittern is the same Shape as Mallard
Well done old girl.

It's not working, it's being shunted.
I went to see it last year and it wasn't working then so I guess it's not working now... It's quite sad...
All these steam engines need to be cut for scrap and melted down!

1:20 why do you put a LED on a historic steam train
To see better??????? I dont know
well I don't think you see much more with those LEDs but they look ridicilous on a steam train
they were probably originally acetylene drip torches.
so at least put frosted light bulbs on them as they do in Germany that looks way better
It's a requirement for Mainline running at 90MPH, Using a battery lamp would mean 75MPH max
full power steam

My mother's father or grandfather drove Cornish Riviera & wrote a little book about locomotive mechanicals. I found it on the internet once. His name was Vaughan.
Why didn't they drive Mallard since it was that engine that broke the record?
mallards boiler certificate is expired and when york museum try to overhaul it, its very economically expensive
Ok good
Put The same train from Arica to the south of chile please. The same train the same Speed...no others.
UK dude, Americans have never been able to produce anything this beautiful.
get me a rallway seeper
