In March 1939 the LMS sends Stranraer a Class 5 to test. It goes very well and soon Stranraer is awash in secondhand Black Fives. The funny part is "a hard core of ex-Caley men" at Northern Division headquarters have feels! They are OFFENDED that the Stranraer men prefer the new engines to "their incomparable 60 class" and so they insist they repeat the test with a Caley 4-6-0!

The test appears to go sadly and Stranraer's like "Hmm yes, thank you for that interesting experience (we'll be sticking with the Staniers)" and headquarters insist, insist, "[a]s a great favour," that they keep the test engine.

#thanks guys #the caley management's devotion to their stupid engines is actually rather touching in a hilarious way #real true railway stuff #... but... wait for it...#caledonian engines #scottish engines #glasgow and south western engines #david l. smith

I heard that increased power was to be provided for this train, and waited in pleased anticipation of a Class 5X or a Baby Scot. On 18 January 1937 there arrived at Ayr for the 7.46am Caledonian class 60 4-6-0 No 14641! I am not exaggerating when I say that of all classes of engine employed on main line express work at that time, none had a poorer reputation than the Caley 60s. My own runs behind them had been dull in the extreme. I knew an LMS official (ex-Caley) who commuted by the 7.46am, and in conversation I ventured to hint that the authorities might have done something better for that train. He was shocked. 'Oh, but these are grand engines!' he protested.

Kind of a misleading headline here, but I think that's partially because it was a live reaction video and he wasn't aware of what was going to be said.

The video is Aaron Smith-Levin reacting to an interview with Ishmael Bey regarding Scientology's attempts to prey upon the Black community, and Nation of Islam members specifically.

Also, here is a link to the article mentioned in the interview, if you want to know more about the ties between Scientology and the Nation of Islam.
