Fantastic footage. Thanks for sharing. Strange comment but loved just how smooth and shiny the smokebox door was at 2' !! Decent load and loved watching her work to haul 12 + 3 ! Al.
From Australia, I changed trains at Hellifield a few short months ago, and stood on the platform for half an hour plus, only seeing a (quarry products?) train that was overtaken by mine. Great footage: atmospheric. Very well filmed. I'll be in UK (and Europe) later in 2023 again.
A fine and elegant locomotive with a splendid accompaniment and a deep bass solo, all on an ideal railway scene, painted with winter and steam. Thanks for teaching us . I personally have enjoyed. Our best wishes to you.
After that wonderful steam mileage, it must have been an anticlimax like coitus interruptus for the passengers to be dragged home by that dirty box on wheels thing at the end of it.
Nicely captured, didn't even know this was due and being up the road from here they usually wake me up as they blast through Farnworth tunnel. Whats the best web site to find out when these are due up this way?
Brrrr! Bet you wound up freezing your shoes and socks off to capture this. I was hoping to see a different steamy to Britannia somewhere along the line, so thanks for showing me the Black 5.
