60163 Tornado doing 100mph! Version 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- With the news that 60163 Tornado is now out of service for an overhaul which is expected to be finished by around June to July. For a little bit of fun, I decided to once again make a couple of (rough) calculations to see what Tornado would be like doing around 100mph, which she proudly boasts to this day in real life. After my very successful first video, I decided to do a second version of 60163 Tornado doing 100mph.
The locations you see are filmed from a safe distance and I wasn't trespassing at all in any way shape or form, so any remarks about this issue are not necessary for this video. Anyway here are the locations included:
Nailsea and Backwell Foot Crossing - • 60163 Tornado hauling ...
Yatton Crossing - • 60163 Tornado hauling ...

Aldermaston Foot Crossing - • 60163 Tornado - The Ba...

I hope you like the video. Feel free to like, comment, and subscribe for more steam action from Full Steam Ahead.
It's still stunning to see such old technology blazing down the rails in triple digitsb a breathtaking display of power and elegance. The whistle is definitely a sound you cannot forget.
I really enjoyed this. Saying hello from the USA. 🙋
I was once told that the whistle was from 60023 Golden Eagle, which was broken up around 1965. Tornado did in fact achieve 102 m.p.h. some years ago.
Such magnificence. Sure, diesels can do it, but they don't have the heart and soul and sheer character of a steam engine.
I agree!
Deltic: hold my beer.... If any diesel has 'character' - then it's the Deltic. That unmistakable Deltic whirr carried by the wind well before you see it. And then the sound akin to a Spitfire as it passes. That diesel has character!!
Great film of the Tornado btw! 👍 It sure is a fast Steam loco. Could give Mallard a run for its money, and the Flying Scotsman too.
@@robtyman4281 I disagree, but I respect your opinion.
I say that steamers have character because, if this makes sense, a steamer looks almost alive in terms of them having a 'face', the rod mechanism looking like moving living parts, the steam looking like breathing, and the whistle sounding like, well, a sound you can make!
That whistle is iconic
Looks like the Brits keep their railroad tracks in better shape than we Americans do. Our trains could never achieve this speed today. In the past we could, but after the demise of passenger traffic the freight lines do little to keep up their tracks in good shape. I don't think even our freight trains could attain this type of speed. Do British freight travel this fast?
Freighters don’t travel at that speed here no. If do want to see how fast they go search Tamworth station uk and that is probably the fastest they go
Fabulous footage. It really reminds us why trainspotting was such a huge pastime during the height of the steam age. (I was Born 1972 so my steam age was the HSTs which I’m ok with though!).🎉🎉
Yep yep its for sure faster than any 1950s cars that Chevy made 😜😜😜 great video 👍👍
That would be a hell of a lot of heavy metal whirring about - they would surely shake themselves to bits!
It has run at 100 mph

And yet, they didn't shake themselves to bits. Way back about 80 or 90 years ago, these incredible, majestic beasts reached and surpassed 100 mph, their connecting rods going up and down again over 400 times per minute, massive rods weighing nearly a short ton. The Flying Scotsman, the first to reach 100 mph, would've been at around 418 rpm at that speed, what with its 80 inch driver diameter and the fact that at 335 rpm the speed equals the driver diameter. UP 844 could reach 120 mph and at those speeds it would've been turning at 502 rpm. Insane engineering skills, nothing we have today would be capable of such feats while staying in service with routine maintenance for nearly a century, five years, ten maybe at best in the modern day, old techniques and building standards demanded a machine capable of being on duty for decades with the regular routine checkups and easy part replacements built into the design, and the every-so-often full refresh to the more central core components, and that was it. Built to last forever. If society fell apart now and Humans came back in a thousand years, they'd think we were a steam-era society with a weird fixation on running metal filaments everywhere for reasons unknown.
She is absolutely stunning when you see her moving like that…
I enjoyed. 😊
Mighty fine engineering.
Where the saying, "working up a head of steam" probably came from. Haha

The Best Shot In The Whole Video
Awesome sight!
Nice video!
that's pretty quick
Great video with the Tornado :=)
Wow, Nigel Gresley was the pioneer of the 1st Generation HST's (Steam HST's I mean!)
Tornado is a Peppercorn design
@@bennickss she's the only A1 peppercorn around just so you know
Great !!!
Why does it look like the wheels are about to fall off?
How come this isn't there a diesel at the end of Tornado's train? I mean, I know he's a young engine, but still, Flying Scotsman had one when he went a hundred miles an hour.
Good Video nice Loco👍👍👍
Foutstanding!
Cool
GO Tornado!!
Why has the footage been sped up?
To show as it would have been if it was doing 100mph!
My favorite steam engine.
All of your videos are sped up!!
I think you could be one of an elite group; the two people on YT who don't know this.
I love benny
Click bait. It is not doing anywhere near 100 mph in these clips. Watch the BBC documentary if you really want to see it doing 100mph on it's test run.
Indian electric trains are not this fast 😅
Slow down speed up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
