Thank you Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway for all the excellent videos that you put on U Tube , they are entertaining and full of mechanical details that I love to see . Keep up the good work . 👍👍👍
Wow!... That number strikes a very strong chord for me - My great uncle Alfred was; Private 10804, Alfred Fountain, 19th Btn, West Yorkshire regiment (Prince Of Wales' Own). Like this locomotive, it's a number that trips off the tongue, and for some strange reason both numbers resonate for me....... My great uncle Walter was a shunter at York, as was my dad some years later. I have no idea why I felt I needed to say all that.
The BR standard 2-6-4T loco is my favourite of all time, They were all we got to see when I used to skip school to go train spotting in the early 60s around Bolton, Great vids guys Thank you.
I remember 80060 and 80063 from my schooldays in Callander in the early 60's. They used to work the "Killin Pug", the daily train that took the kids from Killin, Balquhidder and Strathyre to the McLaren High School in Callander and back.
Let's not forget Dai Woodham. Without him and his scrapyard in Barry, I wonder what the steam preservation movement would have been like. He said himself he didn't set out to help steam preservation, it just worked out that he did. 297 locomotives went into Barry scrapyard, and 213 are said to have come out again. Some are running happily to this day, and others are being overhauled again. The most famous could be said to be 5972 Olton Hall. Best known to young film lovers as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films. Not too bad!
There was a black engine numbered 80105, Who at first was silent and then she came alive. Her whistle echoed true, all members listening so, She chuffered up and down the loop, her fire all aglow. Jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride along the railway. Her public now awaits the day when they can ride Behind her in full flight without the need to hide. 80105, I'm sure you'll do just fine, Just get up and then you'll steam right on down the line.
This much more interesting than watching a Murican showing how to use a ratchet binder on a steel load for numbskulls lol Lovely viewing. Get yourself a battery impact next lol
There is a video on YT of a steam loco in the US pulling a modern load of double stacked shipping containers around an S bend and up a grade. It did it quite comfortably. Dirty and Noisy, yes, inefficient is a bit unfair. Living machinery, definitely!

Same here!

Well done all round to save this beauty....

Already 20 years ago...
There was a black engine numbered 80105,
Who at first was silent and then she came alive.
Her whistle echoed true, all members listening so,
She chuffered up and down the loop, her fire all aglow.
Jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Behind her in full flight without the need to hide.
80105, I'm sure you'll do just fine,
Just get up and then you'll steam right on down the line.
British Tank Locomotive saved from the scrapyard.
👍
Is it ever coming back to boness
80105 is still at Bo'ness however it is currently under overhaul...

Dirty, noisy, and inefficient. Nothing quite like a British steam locomotive, nothing. Long may they be kept in good caring hands....
