Great locations, spectacular camera work and a brilliant subject. Clan Line in full flow looking far better than she ever did in BR days. Excellent stuff 👏. Huge credit to the MNLPS 👍.
Thank you very much. She definitely wasn't hanging about at all! Some others at Upton Scudamore were talking about when the MNs were brown in 1967 due to the lack of cleaning. The MNLPS should be proud of the work they've done to bring 35028 back. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
A brilliant design of boiler, managed with some fine enginemanship on the day. Very impressive to be doing just over 38mph at the summit with around 500 tons behind the tender. We were all stunned! I hope you enjoyed the video.
Magnificent Video - Clan Line did NOT dissapoint! I saw her speeding through west Byfleet in the morning and then crawling, due to a possible landslip, through Addlestone on the return!
Thank you very much Nigel. It was nice to meet you too. She made a cracking ascent of Scudamore. Didn't realise a Merchant could make so much noise at the chimney! It was a long day but it was good fun. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Marvellous video! I don't know what causes it, but I love the off beat sound of Clan line. I've compared videos of British India Line and Clan Line. The BIL does have a similar rhythm to Clan Line but its much more subtle, Whereas Clan Line's is very pronounced. A strange quirk of the beast!
Thank you very much. Both 35018 and 35028 have got three cylinders giving a syncopated exhaust beat. The difference in how the engines sound is probably due to the timing of the valves and how well they are set. The better the setting/timing of the valves, the sharper the exhaust beat. I hope this makes sense!
@@Milepost90.25 I have to admit that's the best explanation I've heard of this quirk. Most of the time I just get obtuse argumentative comments 🤣. You've restored my faith in humanity!
