Takes me back to my spotting days Nige, seeing the tell tale smoke, then straining ones eyes to pick out any clue of the class of engine... "Oh no it's just another Black 5" we'd say! A most superb 'scene' Nige, and thanks for the heads up. 👍👌
Thanks George, that’s half of the challenge isn’t it and yes another lovely Black 5 😂 it’s certainly a great vantage point from up the hillside but it will eventually be lost as the saplings take over, you’re very welcome George, cheers nige👍
Was the Class 47 Doing anything (apart from adding 117 tonnes to the weight on the 'Black 5's drawbar)? An awesome sound symphony from a locomotive being worked hard but well handled!!
