Ah the 142... The name 'Nodding Donkey' was well deserved but I suppose with the passing of time, the survivors will be respected for being the stop gap solution that hung on for so many years.
I always see the pacer as a transit van of the loco world. It's not pretty but it does the job well. I am probably going to get slated by some for that comparison 🙈
Great video. There's certainly a lot of material there for restorers to work on, but I wonder how much of it will actually be used, although some clearly is in pretty good condition already.
Hi, I will defend the guys here (only because the weather is still very vivid in my mind). We had a long wet spell and then this was filmed during a heat wave, a brutal one at that. A lot of vegetation shot up due to it being perfect weather for it. It made for interesting filming, even if my cameras did overheat twice!
