Ex LMS Black 5 No 44871, owned by Ian Riley and Sons, was tasked with The Edinburgh Flyer railtour today. Promoted by The Railway Touring Company and operated by West Coast Railways.
We begin at Chester Le Street on the East Coast Mainline with a somewhat lackluster pass through, as the 5 was coasting towards Newcastle. A very nice long hoot made for a silver lining.
We return to CLS in the evening for the return of the tour and dear me! Words cannot describe how utterly incredible 871s performance was! The video doesn't do full justice to the sheer amount of power the Stanier 10 wheeler was exerting!
Hope you all enjoy, make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe 😄
