A lovely locomotive which deserves the comprehensive overhaul she requires. I am not sure if stablemate 53809 is in ticket on the North Norfolk Railway, or if she is steamed, I hope to see her next year.
@@bigkiwimike I would have thought that if the boiler was overfull excess could be released via the blowdown valve, or if all else failed, turning on an injector WITHOUT turning on the water supply valve. Which would have made that condition correctable. Although bad water/dirty boiler could not be corrected so easily.
Wasn't that a great weekend; I was there too and I've even got a couple of walk-on parts in your video! I went there again this year to sample Garratt haulage; the first two instalments of my video footage are now on my RU-vid channel, with more to be added as time permits.
I remember them from a holiday in Wales as a young person. The locos were in BR livery and the railway workers let tourists, train spotters wander around the yard. Old school public knew about H&S we didn’t need rules for it in the 60s it was common sense. The only place I got grief on doing loco sheds was Yorkshire.
If someone showed me the road leading to that level crossing on a model, I’d think it was badly done. You just don’t get roads that steep and gradient changes that sharp in real life!
Hello, Aaron Thompson - my name is Nic Greene and I'm a Volunteer at the Watercress Line. We're making a short promo video for this years Christmas Leave and wonder if we could use a few short clips from your excellent video. Attribution would of course be given. Many thanks Nic Greene - geralldus on RU-vid
Wow that 10 years has flown by i can still remember when the watercress first acquired 45379 from avon valley. Going to have a long rest for now with the size of the overhaul queue at ropley at the moment
Excellent video to say goodbye for 45379 in action mate 😉👍 The Mid Hants won't be the same without this amazing and incredible Black Five Class on the final weekend in operation service which will be very sad to miss 🙁☹️😭
Great video. Nice to see superb getting a good run and a chance to stretch its legs. Always liked the look of the welshpool and llanfair one i think i need to get around to visiting
Thanks a lot Simon! I see you have videos of the railways in Denmark so have subscribed back, always interesting to see railways in different countries!
Thank you! From the station you work into the carpack and down into the woods, there is a whole walk and path system I think through the woods towards ffest. Then you climb up the bank just outside the station area where the track is clearly visible on the left! This may help you for any future locations! caemawr.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/llyn-mair-walk.jpg
