Your Pronouncation is spot on. One note though, there are a total of 6 preserved NG steam engines. No15 ran in preservation for 2 years in Stradbally.
Of all the jobs to have, driving a steam train around a brewery sound like a very fun one.
Here’s a pint of Guinness for this pub centric train 🚂 🍻
I love being Irish 😊 ☘️ but thankfully I am no longer an alcoholic 🙃
One of the tank engines (the green on pictured near the end of the vid) is at the talyllyn railway museum.
I helped restore that red corris coal truck in the background, some 25 years ago when i was a young volunteer on the railway.
Really cool, I'm glad that there's so many pictures and that they're preserving a few of the engines!
I was all in for the idea of a steam locomotive powering an unpowered locomotive, but the worlds most annoying steam engine kept me hooked. Keep up the good work man.
If anyone’s wondering, the music is

For Anyone wondering,
Train Within a train: 5:32
Grain Belt Beer and trains in and out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin are what bring the haulage of beer by train close to home for me. Usually, one would think a private industry would have only one, two or three engines for its own. But I find it amazing that Guinness not only had a good sized roster of narrow and broad gauge engines over time but also built and patented their own unique engine design. That's a good company. And for those out there who also enjoy maritime vessels like myself, there have been special ships and barges that have solely been used for transporting beer and wine.
7:00 I almost forgot to bring this up, but has anyone else noticed the chalk face on the Hudswell Clarke?
Geoghegan: "All of these engines are terrible to maintain and operate, every time we get a new one it's more trouble than the last!"
Steam Engine Manufacturer: " Oh yeah? Why don't you go and make one yourself huh? If you think its so easy!"
Geoghegan: "Hold my Guinness." *proceeds to make an objectively better steam engine *
I Like The Steam Engines Thay Are Amazing
Mr Geoghegan certainly was a smart guy in developing a locomotive which suited all his requirements. A brewery can be an environment with lots of dust from the barley and hops, especially in those days when most of the proces would be open and there was a lot of spillage. Now with pneumatic transport of the ingredients, covered tubs, pipelines for liquid transport and modern filling machines it is a lot cleaner
This is something that bender would be happy to work on
It was great seeing these at the Guinness museum!
What is the music called?
They really did make an adaptor for narrow Guage to broad Guage locomotives! Astounding history. Thank you
genuinely, someone should make this, not in real life but in, say maybe Roblox or smt, or in a virtual experience, or even though I said not in real life, maybe someone could make a museum of this.great vid.
"Bee-awe"
Interesting video! Cheers!
Nice. More interesting than Cosmeston's Quarry Railway, which is what I was thinking of watching this. Come to think of it there were a few interesting narrow gauge lines in South Wales. Cosmeston, and then there was the sand quarrying or whatever it was at Porthcawl and also the dual gauge tracks at some of the mines. There might have been a very short line on Barry Dock too but information is difficult to find so I cannot confirm it, just a picture I saw years ago of a short narrow gauge line.
Why do UK diesels have two tone horns unlike those here in the US?
I've been waiting for this to come up in one of your videos- I've always found the idea of Haulage wagons to be SO COOL.
No price and work too much to get alcohol to get to the societies 😞
So many families, relationships and social good behavior were and are still destroyed by alcoholism and people who can't handle the consume and behavior of them self if they get alkalized…
"You" should not be proud about any drinking alcohol producers in any country…
