Brilliant!

What's the steam engine at 1:42? Described as British, it never ran on British rails as far as I'm aware..

Difficult to see from the clip. Could it be a 2 8 0 "Austerity" loco?

It's a broad gauge Indian Government Railways (I.G.R.) WG Class 2-8-2 built by the North British Locomotive Company, Glasgow in 1950.

Don't think so - different cab, different tender and different wheels. I think the boiler looks different as well...

Huh
I suppose any question like this can be answered by a simple Google query - '1951 festival of britain steam engines' returned this..

Perfect

RE: 7000rpm... - Reckless Rat - 25-10-2017

7000rpm - how fast  in mph would that have been?

RE: 7000rpm... - Alan - 25-10-2017

Depends on the gearing, but I think Terry uses the same as me. It's between 87 and 93 mph depending on whether it's a 4.9 or 5.25 axle.
