The first recorded use of a propeller driven "train" is when German military aviators based in Palestine mounted a spare Mercedes aircraft engine with propeller on a flat car; to go to a seaside town many miles distant. Reportedly it did not have brakes…
Yeah Thanx man, this really was a nice doc. I'm very much on your train-of-thoughts. 1st class;-)
Some of the stuff featured I already knew, either from your vids or others, but it didn't matter cause this summary is well compiled, and produced, like the elements of the compilation already were. Also, I think you have a good narrating voice.
I know the subject's an era apart, but I'd like to see some similar comp's on e-locs and diesels maybe? Idk, just do your thing man. Thx
Ever heard of the GT3 Gas Turbine locomotive? I only found out this interesting locomotive from the History of Railways, Chartwell Books Inc. Good Railroad book at least for me.
building highly specialized locomotives that did just one job, cost a lot to maintain, and were useless elsewhere? not a surprise the companies were losing money
Fowler's Ghost is a fun side journey to go down. The problem with the engine was a back injector. The Fire bricks have been postulated to not get hotter than the melting point of crown sheets so the theory is the Fire bricks prevented the crown sheet from failing due to low water.
It would normally be considered a rather long documentary, but I'm a big fan of long documentaries, especially where they have true pictures and facts. I enjoyed it very much. Keep up the good work!
We have a Fairlie in our museum 'Josephine' sadly it will never run again, it,s chassis is badly rusted and beyond repair, only about 6 Fairlie's exist now of which i believe 2 run!
the leader should have lived on having removed its steam tech, replaced by diesel tech im sure if it had a diesel engine it would have been a better locomotive.
There was no "German Imperial Railway" in 1934. There was, however, a "German State Railway" in 1934. Anything "Imperial" died in Germany in 1919. Also, "Schienenzeppelin" is pronounced "sheen-en zeppelin", not "shine-en zeppelin". It's like pronouncing "Worcestershire" "wor-sester-shire", or "Berwick" as "ber-wick" instead of "berrick" π
23:00 I am not sure if this counts as the first electric tram, as Siemens&Halske operated one in 1881 in Berlin, 1883 one in MΓΆdling (Austria) and 1884 one between Frankfurt(Main) and Offenbach.
M-497 was never intended for passenger service. It was a test mule much like its Soviet counterpart. It did develop good data on running at high speeds on track that was not specially prepared. The conclusion was that, so long as the track was in reasonably good condition, and had been well-built to begin with (ie-with the much heavier load factors found in the US), there was no reason why a lightweight train couldn't safely run at high speeds without damaging itself or the track. The ride comfort, on the other hand, left a bit to be desired.
The decapod and big Bertha are just examples when the Brits unknowingly built steam locomotives with the same philosophy as us Americans. Absolutely Fantastic.
5:14 They called that the "Galloping Sausage" even though trains up to that point were literally shaped in cylindrical, sausage shape, and this was covered over and looked nothing like one- like wtf!?

That thing built in The Brighton Works, a tube train on steroids!

This is something I would do. I want to make more trains
Now thatβs whatβs I call βUNUSUAL EXPERIMENT ENGINE LORE*
Besides the Fairlies the Ffstiniog has Spooner's Boat, a vehicle equipped with a sail.
6:30 That's hurricane from Thomas and friends
I got some questions about the double engine
One thing to keep in mind is that Hush Hush having that wheel arrangement made it a Hudson/Baltic rather than a Pacific.
Iβd love another one of these for all the awesome ghost tot vids we got last October
shhh, don't give Elon Dusk more bad ideas.
THANK YOU. Fantastic. No auto play, just raw compilation. Thank u sir big up love ur channel man
17 hours till this is 24 hours or 1 day old
Nice to have these all in one spot.
Planning on doing a Halloween series like you did last October?
I may be stoned af, but I definitely heard sonic ost in the background ππ

I love these kinds of locos π

You oughta do a compilation of the ghost train of thought series

They can give anything a try
nice to see some longer videos
Please include South African Railways Class 26 designed by David Wardale
No 1950s Irish turf burning prototype? π
0:12 at this moment is all that im goin to see about this video
I will see this video when i make a custom of a unusual train, wish me luck

24:21 huggy wuggy reference?
29:50 I think you meant "MΙlguy", as Milngavie is pronounced.
Neppa: Vegeta, what does the scouter say about its power level?
Vegeta: ITS OVER 9000!!!!!
Can you make a video talking about the London North Eastern Railway P1's please.
Speaking of experiments who was wanna see some trains fight? https://youtu.be/2qW8JuU3qos
OMG you did, you used βThe Coreβ from Undertale at 12:00 !
Lol I could barely hear it but there it was!!
It's a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinge compilatiooooooooooooooon. K bye.
Train of thought the motion picture

How did it run between King's Cross and Edgeware without being standard gauge at the time?
