A video that I've been meaning to make for a while, that a compilation of shots of my favourite loco USATC S160 No 5820 'Big Jim'. In this video we see 'Jim' at various locations along the Worth Valley between June 2018 and March 2020.

I've rode this train a good few times, right there on the worth valley railway, a beautiful place, when I was a primary school aged kid ( 30 Yeats ago ) he seemed to have been there for a while as I remember going year after year with my dad and this was my favorite regular engine, very powerful. Then as I got a bit older he wasn't there anymore, my dad said he had gone back to America.
It’s essentially an American locomotive that’s been built smaller for European use. I like to think that they have a bit of a napoleon complex because of their small stature next to other American consolidations.
