This engine is so enthralling that I ended up building it out of Lego
And thank god you did, another banger from Larry :)🙏
@@ItsTrainBoy Aw, why, thank you! :)
And woah, thanks for the pin!! I wasn't expecting that!
Bro this is just Neil that got stepped on
Your not wrong.
Nah it looks like a pancake
I was gonna say Flat Fergus 🤣
Tbh it looks like bill or Ben got crushed by the trash compactor from FNaF Security Breach
Neil after eating Taco Bell
Rev Awdry for sure should have incorporated the flying buffer beam into his series
and I can image he or she would work along side bill and ben and proably be the roll Timothy has in the tv series
Trainboy should make one of these it would really be cool to see especially with a face👍🏾
@@kinggpingazz522 if A: theres a resin cast of it and B it'd look like the Fergus face in the Fergus history thumbnail
@@pugwash1 that’s even better,so he can make one👍🏾👍🏾
Yes
HOLY SH!T

somebody send this to the rock.
I can think of a smaller standard gauge engine - the Shropshire & Montgomeryshire Railway's 'Gazelle.' Built as a private engine, bought by Colonel Stephens, used for passengers, sold to the Army, used as an inspection engine, now survives in the Colonel Stephens Museum.
Actually, if odd railways and engines are your thing, I recommend looking the Colonel Stephens railways in general up. The dude's thing was buying up impoverished railways, then fixing them up with whatever he could get on the cheap. He was using ancient Victorian engines, but he was also one of the first British railway owners to see the value of internal combustion locomotives.
I mentioned it in his last video but I don’t think he saw it
I don't know. I wouldn't consider Gazelle to be that small. You should probably do a video about that or Pecket 1900 for your own channel, Tom
@@MonopodMan Gazelle's tiny. 5 tons, cylinders smaller in diameter then a DVD, boiler... Uhh... Could fit a narrow gauge engine.
Sounds like a video project for you, @Jago
Gazelle, a tiny 5 ton, 2-2-2WT locomotive was built in Kings Lynn, in eastern England in 1893. She was used as a personal railway vehicle by one William Burkitt, a seed merchant and railway enthusiast who was twice mayor of the town. It had running rights along the local railways, and travelled some distance - once doing over 200 miles in a day return trip to Chesterfield. She was later sold on and converted to a 2 foot 3 inch wheeled 0-4-2WT locomotive and served on several light railways, often paired with a small 4 wheeled tramcar coach. Gazelle was a military railway inspection locomotive in WW2, and survived into preservation, now being a static exhibit in the Colonel Stevens Railway Museum, Tenterden in Kent, SE England.
I want to see this engine “Thomasified” and worked into someone series now. Such an interesting looking engine
And it should talk like Kenny from South Park
It’s a good thing that she already has a name.

I imagine this engine to be like Fergus in a way. Only without the flywheel and such.
Between this, the Bagnall 0-4-0st's, and the LNER y11 class, it’s always interesting seeing such small specific engines
Even as a Brit myself, I literally did not know this engine existed. I suppose it does makes Alfred and Judy (Bill and Ben) look bigger
I love this little loco. Wish there could be a 00 model of one, although it'd have to use 009/N gauge techniques due to its size
This one is definitely the most funky looking tank engine
Dang, I have never hear of that before. How cool!
my goodness he is just such a tiny little itty bitty baby boy I love him so much I would die for him. definitely a 10/10 engine in my books
Despite it being the most common locomotive in Lionel starter sets I've barely been able to find information on the USRA 0-8-0. I'm wondering if you can shed some light on this locomotive's existence
It’s essentially a heavy shunter and used as such if memory serves
By British standards, it'd not be at all small. By American standards, it was a medium sized relatively common switching locomotive utilized in switching industries within cities, working yards, and in terminals.
The USRA design was a standard produced during the brief nationalization during the first World War, and proved to be a popular design due to simplicity and producibility. Many railroads continued making improved USRA designs as they were a good fit.
Lionel's model is made for these reasons, as well as the mass-producibility of its drivetrain, which is essentially a block around the drive wheels with the shell sorta just being a hat. As it's a generic engine that can be painted in any scheme known to man (and several made up ones), it's a good candidate for making a low-cost model train. Throw in the ease of rerailing and it makes a reasonable starter engine that has more realistic application than earlier 0-4-0 frames featured in 'scout' sets, which sometimes had a leading and trailing axle or two.
I looked into the math of it, and according to what I figure the engine’s cost would actually be around £64,008.96 British pounds today and that is $84,392.29 today in US dollars.
Modern day yessir; however video wise I meant the $1,113 in terms of the £850 it cost to build at the time. I should’ve included such however actually in the video so that’s my mistake, thank you brother man 🙏✨
that's a pretty good deal for a working loco. they usual cost more than 900k pounds..
Wow, and I thought the Lively Polly locomotive (Lady’s possible basis) was a small standard gauge engine….
All my friends know the low rider.
The low rider is a little higha’ ✨
There's a LOT of interesting narrow gauge locos about. A few that I've always liked are the De Winton vertical boiler locomotives (such as Chaloner) the diminutive Beyer-Peacock "Dot" and the Guinness Brewery locos. Awesome video as always
The guinness one is still around in preservation
@@skullnbonez90 I don't know if it's the same one or if it's another one, but there is one in the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum in Tywyn, Wales
@@RE_Bullet03 I was looking up the irish steam train preservation society website the other week and one the rail tours was being run by one of guinness brewery locos a that they own
@@skullnbonez90 That is one of the Broad Gauge Guinness locos, No.3. The Guinness brewery had a number of narrow gauge ones too. Guinness No.3 isn't used for railtours, merely up and down the platform in Whitehead.
@@NirateGoel cool thanks didn't know the had a narrow gauge as well
Imagine seeing the Peckett 1900 next to Big Boy 4014!
Alternative Reality where The Ben model was turned into Flying Bufferbeam when it was stepped on instead of getting its roof broken.
wow, you're uploading a lot of videos now, keep up the good work! :]
I'd suggest the Yvonne and Stoomcentrum Maldegem, it's an interesting place-
I said this on a community post but you should look into the erie L-1, the only mallet and camelback locomotive to ever be made
“Bufferbeam?”
Moah Like
“Beam Smol Dwarf Engine”
Funniest sh*t I’ve ever
🤣😂😅🤣😂🤣😂😅🤣🤣😅😂🥲😂😂🤣🤣😅🤣🤣😅😂🤣😂😅😂🥲😅😅🤣🥲😅😂🥲😂😅🤣🤣😅😂🤣🥲😂😅🤣🤣😅😅🤣😂😅😅🤣😂😅😅🤣🤣😅😂🤣😂😅🤣🤣
I feel like this is the lowrider of trains
Wow, I love this loco, its quite interesting, but whilst you made the smallest seam locomotive, you should made the smallest diesel locomotive, that being Courage on the Middleton Railway
Dude I bet I’m taller than this engine
Reminds me of Conrails battery box switchers. They were a Blomberg type B truck with some batteries on it. They were used to move spare wheels around, and 4 of them were built.

Footage of the Flying Bufferbeam running is in this video at 3:07
m.ruclips.net/video/tbcBHcO2EwM/видео.html
Also I’d really like to see you make a video about the Denver & Rio Grande Western K-28 Class next.
I'm happy to know that this little engine hasn't been scrapped.
Cue someone making a TRAINZ fan-episode that introduces Jill.
Jill, Bill and Ben
I have suggestion for the next one:
If you want a large locomotive, take a gander at the Erie Triplex, a 2-8-8-8-2 American steam engine.
PRR L-5 electric would be great for this series.
This may come as a weird question, but what was your job BEFORE Covid?
You could say this is the Mazda Miata of Steam Engines. . .
How about the Guinness adaptor wagons? Narrow gauge locos on broad gauge tracks.
Or the swiss electric steams?
Or possibly the only steam locos to try replace diesels (BnM Andrew Barclays.) of which all three survive, though LM43 was rebuilt into Tom Rolt.
You should build one of these i would love to see it i live this video keep it up
3:07 hes always watching 👀
When I was watching this I remembered when you said Mavis the mallard I laughed so hard today
Someone squashed bill/ben 😂
UH-OH
THAT'S ONE SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL LOCOMOTIVE
Imagine if this guy met Alfred and Judy (Bill and Ben's real life brother and sister)!
Edit: Jill, Bill, and Ben.
They should of called that adorable piece o of machinery lil skippy
im only recommending engine this cuz i seen this engine in person and been in its cab its the mohawk 3001 locomotive made by the new york central railroad
Loving the new series - extremely interesting!
00:15
Okay who tickled that engine's neck?
"You're so bloody tiny! You're like a toy-sized version of an engine!!"
I'd like to see a video on the southern Pacifics cab forward steam locomotive please
The owner of that Peckett locomotive, "The Flying Bufferbeam", was formerly the locomotive workshop foreman at the Mid-Hants Railway (the Watercress Line) before he left to work at Southall. I remember him quite fondly. :)
Some one shapwsys needs to make a replica we can print 😃
Do a video on The Great Locomotive Chase during the Civil War.
There two steam engines you could do a video one. USATC S100 and S160
Oops i stepped on ur bachmann bill model srry
Finally, we have Danny Devito locomotive
If Bachmann ends up making a model of this unique engine, I will be first in line to buy it
I MUST SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NEXT TO A BIG BOY
P L E A S E
The brazillian Tentugal locomotive, wich survived a shipwreck
Bill and ben's basis are really interesting. Make a video about them too.
No, you're thinking of Alfred and Judy as Bill and Ben's basis.
@@Trainboy452 aren't they?
I thought Gazelle ("1 Gazelle 0-4-2WT") of the Shropshire & Montgomery Railway had the title of "smallest S.G. Locomotive"?
I was just polishing up the worksplates for this loco at the Buckingham Railway Centre today!
If I see this intimidation would come across my mind
It's like Bill and Ben's little sister lol so cute one of my favorite things in thomas is finding out their basises were real it shows how many just out there designs there were so cool
Have seen it and helped in part on its restoration. Also I only live 25 mins drive away from Holywell where she originally worked. And on the other side of me I'm 1 hour away from the snowdon mountain railway and 2 hours away from tal y llyn.
I dare you to make a model of this. Whatever scale. Just try to make it. Lol. Of course in your own time and if you want. Lols
They're is an engine that looks like duck but it has a crane its called gwr crane tank i only read the 1921 one version and i dunno if they'res any survivers but eh the engine looks cool
Just goes to show Alfred and Judy ain't the only smaller standard gauge engines around.
How were the driver and firemen supposed to operate that engine?
Id say the Pennsylvania T1 would be a very cool steam engine to talk about as there's one being built from scratch now and it might be nice to tell people more about it
Id say do a video on wantage shannon...or maybe winifred the hunslwt port class wngine and her trip to indiana
Not exactly as odd as the others, but I think a video on the Pacers would be interesting. The trains that lived long enough to turn from villains to heroes ;)
nah, you need to see the 1899 Shropshire and Montgomery Railway number 1 "Gazelle'
Edit: 1893 not 1899
So proud to see you make a video of something and somewhere I’m so familiar with
I live in Coedpoeth. A stone's throw from holywell and didn't even know this thing existed. We lost our own steam railway in the mid 60s which ran from the lead mines. It had panniers running on it from all the old photos I can find
I wish i could take a ride on the train it looks fun
Be great to see it running again!
0:11 - That's where I saw 4014 when it came through!
You should totally do a video on gazelle I believe it's even smaller
I once made a Thomas OC based on this engine called Tarquin
I hope for safety’s sake that they bring back that cab extension. If I were to sit in it as it currently is, I’d likely have to call a chiropractor the next day.
Dang, it looks like Bill or Ben if the episode "Heroes" had a bad ending.
This one has me pondering weather or not do I want to make this one for my collection
TrainBoy really wants to make a Big Boy video
Eh, I feel they’ve been talked about quite abit. Honestly I have alot of reference pictures of them for whenever I decide which one I want to model 🤣
I have an idea for a vid, the kleinlokomotiven, or Kö for short. They are tiny! The Kö I’s,(The smallest class), are only 17 ft. long and 9 ft. tall with a power output of only 24-30 hp!
The buffer beam looks so out of proportion on this. XD
Literally the Mini Drake of steam engines
The midget tank engine who stood the test of time. Ride on no.1900
goof in the tittle it says the little bufferbeam and not flying bufferbeam
“The Little Bufferbeam That Flew”
It’s like a play on “The Little Engine That Could” 🤣
@@ItsTrainBoy oh i see LOL🤣
Let's goooo, I found out about this guy recently and I think he's amazing. Nice to see him getting some attention. :)
I couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching this one my man :)
No problem man, your stuff is always awesome :)))
Loverly little video on a very little engine. Top stuff! If you're after video suggestions then may I suggest the following topics?
1: Shunting engines at and around Royal Navy dockyards? I'm a bit of Royal Navy (Britains Navy) buff and have been trying to discover what the shunting engines for Royal Dockyards of Portsmouth, Devonport and Roysth were between 1900 and 1945, but that info has been at least for me surprisingly difficult to come across.
2: The Isle Of Man Railway. I believe one of the very few working railways left in the world worked almost entirely by steam. The Isle Of Man for those curious is a small independent nation situated in the Irish Sea flanked by you guessed Ireland as-well as England and Scotland.
3: LNER Pacific Blue Peter infamous 1994 wheel slip, that essentially destroyed cylinders/driving rods.....and broke a mans arm. Never seen any pictures of the damage from that, would be curious if you can turn up anything.
Thats all I can come up with off the top of my head :/
Can you pls do a vid about the a1 or a4 classes?
1:30 I wonder if Henry is still under there…?
looks like mario stomped on a goomba
The shortest Standard Gauge engine?
I like the little guy. He looks kinda cool
2:47 *thumbs up* Yes, that is correct.
hey louis look at this steam engine
I just get stepped on this engine LOL
Im so happy some one made a video on this engine
Do a video on the American exports to British railways
Or British engines that have visited the States
Rockton Rion 19 is a cool one
