Love those fender skirts

It reminds me of a '57 Buick my Dad had. The good stuff starts at 0:40.

I just found it, I didn’t film it…

That would be the LNER A4 class, a famous UK classic!
It’s sister Mallard was made in 1938, made a world record speed of 125mph.

Nice engine, but what’s the crap with the Google ads?

Speaking of Google and other search engines; following the line up on, lets say “CP Rail” in the video section, I can’t help but grin the way they try to keep the VIMEO instances at a certain ratio - it always has to be lower than the crappy stuff from YouTube, that is if it shows up at all.

How does the crew lube that thing up at every water fill up?

They didn't stop for water -- used the troughs :D

Actually, I believe they had access hatches so they could oil around – but it is notable that the skirting was removed by BR post-war to make getting at the motion easier.
