Lovely footage of 419! I attended the Sunday 4 Nov at the Gala day - well worth it and the best of the weather. For some reason I lost your vids and your RUclips channel last week. Glad I've got them back! Best wishes! Ken
Always liked blue locos ever since as a kid I watched blue Merchant Navy class working up trains out of Brighton. Looks fantastic. OK, wet and greasy rails, etc, etc, but a little surprised how readily it seemed to slip though.
Beautiful machine. @5:25 I'm curious as to why the driver thought it was a good idea to give so much speed when the line was blocked just ahead. The locomotive slides to an uncontrolled stop with locked wheels and a 20 ton load pushing it. I always use momentum at low speed when manouvering as adhesion to the rails particularly in a station environment is unpredictable and I have to question why this driver is on the footplate if this is his idea of how to get used to a machine he has just taken out with a load.
Beautiful job they've done! Caley machines are quite beautiful, I think it's the color and the brass stars that really make it. It seemed to be slipping a bit around halfway through the video, I assume that's a mix of the footplate hiding the wheels and the loco being fresh from overhaul?
Fascinating to see, wish I could enjoy the smell as well, hot paint, coal smoke, steam and oil. Slipping quite a lot on a dry rail and skidded to a halt. Presumably sanders are not yet functional. But what a beautiful sight, very well filmed. Do I need a passport to go that far north or just midge repellent?
Where did they hide the pistons on engines like this? It seems like a lot of UK engines had the pistons hidden while most US engines have them in plain sight.
Lush! 😍 Nice to see a good old BR 27 too. Thanks for this. Don't know much about the Caley 0-4-4T. Was it designed by Drummond? Looks very close to an M7.
It was introduced by John F. McIntosh who was an engineer at the Caledonian Railway. You're right though, the design can be traced to Drummond's earlier (1884) 0-4-4T locomotive types.
They have sandboxes. On this loco the forward facing sandboxes are the square portion above the front splasher. Others are normally mounted below running plate level to the mainframes
I love Victorian liveries! They're just so beautiful!
Quite a wee slide! No flats hopefully ! The Engine looks beautiful .
It's a pleasure to see this venerable locomotive in action once again. Thank you for posting. [edited for typo]
Beautifully refurbished. Look forward to seeing her in the coming weeks.
What a beautiful engine, looks, performance & sound. I love their hooters.

A very beautiful steam loco. Excellent.
Good to see 419 up and running again.
Very pretty loco! :-) Indeed the people who have worked on this deserve a big Thank you!! :-D Well done guys!!
Very nice colour👍. Good shots of the loco as well.
Very nice video and fun to watch. Have a nice day.
Built the same year as me - wish I looked that good though! I need an overhaul too! Lang may her lumb reek :)
What a beautiful looking steam engine

Beautiful restoration,steam lives !!

She seems quite light on her feet!
Beautiful machine.

Nice to see. Please give the Lass with the wheelbarrow a pair of work gloves!

Absolutely beautiful

Wonderful. Thanks for uploading.
I have always loved engines.
beautiful video
Great footage
That is a handsome looking Loco
What a lovely engine
The driver seemed to be a bit heavy handed with the regulator and the brakes .
5:37 I didn't think it was going to stop!
An interesting little engine,doesn't look the easiest to handle though.
Love the brakevan
very nice.
will they run trains with the rake of CR coaches now that they have a CR loco running again?

British locos have whats called inside cylinders. Meaning the cylinders and valves are in between the frames
Was that a SPAD at 9.08 LOL
Tell the young lady that gloves should be worn not hands worn out but the loco looks very good indeed
Small wonder Drummond was such in favour of the Scottish designs
Nice train
Thanks for watching
Lush! 😍

How come british steam locomotives do not have sand domes ?
They have sandboxes. On this loco the forward facing sandboxes are the square portion above the front splasher. Others are normally mounted below running plate level to the mainframes
Let me be the first to say Well Done!
Why doe this remid me of thomas the tank engine
😄👍 nice
She seemed to be slipping a lot; was it a wet day?
Who’s talking behind the camera?
Slippery rails
Nice loco but 27001 is better.
Horrible Livery.
