the NS 4300 worked until the end of steam in 1958, only the 5000 were completely withdrawn in 1952

Hong Kong's railway museum has no mention of these locomotives 😅 Thanks for the video!

It would be really cool if you would do a video on the top 5 or so longest in continuous operation steam engines in the world!

Vampire lol ok thats a far fetched story however the real story not so funny

Fantastic stream man 1:02:38

Since it relates to this subject, you think you might cover the Soham Rail Disaster? That story has intrigued me for years.

The 2-8-0 wheel arrangement was amazingly adaptable. You never see them on American model railways, yet they were everywhere doing everything.

I heavily recommend "Train Quest" from 2001, a surreal movie where a teenager and his girlfriend are shrunk down onto an HO scale train layout via magical means and hijinks ensue.

FANTASTIC!

Looks like I found another favorite UK steam locomotive.

Aussies are an unusual nickname for Austerity Engines

One of them exploded. 😳

Battle ready locomotives

Very cool stuff.

ah yes, my favorite loco, class WD, the only express steam engine that existed at my country

Ah yes, the wooferdonks. Easy to maintain easy to discard.

WOOF-A-DUNK-A WOOF-A-DUNK-A WOOF-A-DUNK-A...

As a Hong Konger railfan myself, had I remembered correctly the ozzies are the last operating steam locomotives in the region, with the final one withdrawn in 1963.They were the region’s most iconic standard gauge steam locomotives and the most well known.They are in a Brunswick-like green complete with red wheels, a sight to behold.Sadly none are preserved

Okay it's actually very ironic that you were talking about these engines. I actually Drew these austerity designs recently so it's fine to see so many people suddenly talking about them. Still, it's great to see Such beautiful engines getting their time in the spotlight.

I love your videos. Also Keighley is really pronounced “Keith-ly” cos English words are stupid

If this is unintentional it's a brilliant coincidence, but I can't help but notice that the nickname "Woofer Dunk" has its first letters come from the locomotives official names as WD locos

always a pleasure to sit down after a week of work with a new video of yours

Nice video! I have a small correction though. In The Netherlands, the ''small Jeeps'' (NS 4300 series) remain in service until 1957, the last year of steam in The Netherlands. Even in 1958 some of the remaining Jeeps were used for heating purposes, deicing switches, and some shunting. It was a very important and relevant steam locomotive class in the country. It is therefore a bit painful that the only surviving NS 4300 is now in the UK in a fantasie livery... Especially because it is the only active (hopefully soon!) mainline Dutch steam engine...

It’s Keithley not key ley

Awesome video man well done 4:35

For once I don’t recognize the music in this video, but it is catchy.

I just find it very wild that, even though British Railways had a total of 733 WD Austerity 2-8-0s, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WAS SCRAPPED after they were retired in 1967. History in the Dark (who has a very big hatred for British Railways due to the immense number of bad diesel locomotives that were built for them) even loudly exclaimed "YOU HAD 733, YOU COULDN'T HAVE SAVED ONE!?!?! YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!!" At least, we do have a single surviving WD Austerity 2-8-0, so that's something.

I feel Riddles himself is a bit of an unsung hero too. He didn't design the most glamourous locos, but they were extremely effective and did what they were designed to do, for the most part.

A engine named Richard was a scrapped engine and was going to be put apart to make something but another engine spotted him and saved him from scrap

Glad that one 2-8-0 survived, they were considered the better of the 2 wheel arrangements, also in the Netherlands. Here they ran all sorts of trains including passengers, and not all WDs were withdrawn by 1952, the 2-10-0s were out of service by 1952, but the last 2-8-0 ran until almost the end of steam in 1958.

BRO IM A HONG KONG GUY , thank GOD tenders DO run on hong kong rails before, im so sick that the government's railway preservation is to just put a tank engine in a public park and never get it working

It's funny how things designed to be disposable end up lasting far longer than the things meant to last forever

Wakefield,Normanton ,and Royston were always full of dub-dees

Yes, I am aware Ruairidh MacVeigh made a video on these engines last week. This video was made in advance and scheduled to come out today. There is nobody more aware of how bad the timing of this upload was than me

Cool

Shame there weren't characters or plot lines introduced to remember these engines and their crews. 🚂

8:20 Oh it's the locomotive that is from that one Gordon image from a video from trainboy the dark side of day out with thomas

The UK may not have been very interested in the WD Austerity 2-10-0s, but they would later see the true potential of the wheel arrangement with the BR 9F, which was also designed by Robert Riddles.

6 Days after Ruairidh MacVeigh. coincidence? i think not.

Finds family of Leprechauns living in the locomotive: "I call the big one Bitey."

Wooferdonk is probably one of the funniest names you could give a steam engine from a onomatopoeia stand point.

FINALLY! A VIDEO ABOUT THE WDS! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO MAKE ONE!

I think I have a new favourite engine.

I love that the music you used is the Carnaval track from Nier: Automata but with the vocals removed.

As a yorkshireman, I have to correct you at 8:05, it's pronounced Keith-ley not Keeleigh! Great video though, I've been pulled by that very locomotive on the KWVR. 110% Worth a visit!

"I think they deserve a little remeberence too, don't you?" Thomas and Friends outro plays.

The WD austerities will always be my favorite war time locomotives
