Nice clip of a 121 and a 141

Seems to be more videos abounding that show some of the Pennsylvania Railroad's unusual steam engine types. This one is about three of the Duplex types (four cylinders but no articulation): shows a lot of T1s (ye olde 4-4-4-4), and towards the end it shows a non-streamlined Q2 4-4-6-4 freight engine (mislabelled as a Q1, which was 4-6-4-4 and streamlined) and the very rare single-unit S1 6-4-4-6. (Music's horrid IMHO)

This one's interesting as well; a preview video showing a plethora of different US trains operating in the late 1940s. The variety of diesels is certainly interesting.

Great video. Despite spending more years than I care to remember in the Mallow area, and the beet sidings in particular, I missed the latter period when the factory became rail served again. There was quite a curve and grade from the beet factory LC to the mainline and in the video the train of empties nearly comes to a standstill on the incline.

Another cracker from Eiretrains. I love how 175 looks like she's gliding through the grass as she runs around at Kingscourt.

I saw that one yesterday, Looks mad alright. I'm surprised she stayed on the rails at some parts.

Don't forget about the JT22CWs on that other railway (the NIR's 111 class). 113 on a ballast train in Derry, back in February of this year.

And another blue-coloured JT22CW, this time of Serbian Railways Class 666; 666-003 leads a freight train with what looks like a G16 (16-cylinder 567) behind it. Video not of great quality, but you can see that it's a JT22CW, albeit not of the "hooded" variety like in Ireland; these were ordered by none other than Josip Broz Tito and were intended to pull Tito's "Blue Train".

It's a pity that Charlie Haughey hadn't an interest in trains otherwise he might have bought some rare kit.

We could really do with a stickied 'Railwayana' thread but in the meantime I'm sticking this here. An ultra rare item - 100 years old - which sold on eBay yesterday for a paltry £25. A pocket guide - 8 pages. I was tempted but as an ex.railway enthusiast I would only have sold it on again. Only one bid!

The cameraman was very very brave to get some of those shots. That chemical used for the spray was downright lethal and would make bleach seem non toxic it is that abrasive. So much as a touch of it to the skin and you'd be your burns clinics yes customer!

Seen this on the Cool Pics and Vids thread...

Hmm. Person who posted that vid said "attempting", but it certainly looks like the two engines are succeeding in the ploughing. Don't even need a wedge plough or (for the hard jobs) a rotary plough...
