Just like the old days...Bloody Brilliant !!!!

Amazing footage of a brilliant climb. My late father witnessed many a similar scene on Shap with the banking engines dropping off after Shap Summit and then returning to Tebay from his signalbox at Scout Green 👍

Hi Stephen. I spent two very enjoyable days at Scout Green in 1965 in the company of a very friendly signalman. Happy days 🙂

For a time my father worked in Bromsgrove signal box. In my childhood I spent many a happy hour spotting on Bromsgrove station.

Yes. The Northern Ireland variant of the 4MT was after all the last steam loco in regular use on UK Mainlines into the early 1970s

Great video, superb spot to be right where 80079 came detached! Can't imagine them allowing an engine to split off on the mainline anymore. Surprised all the 4MT tanks disappeared off the mainline, you'd think there would be a market for one or two.

Brilliant! Why facing backwards, though? As a very small child I vaguely remember the famous Lickey Incline, waiting to be banked up the hill. Highlight of the trip for my train-mad dad! PS the Lickey beats the other great double track incline: from Ilfracombe to Morthoe, sadly now just a cycle path (which I've cycled many times).

Maybe it was just how the move panned out; after all, I don't suppose there are many (if any?) turntables left on the main line these days.

great catch

Shame 80079 is unlikely to go mainline again let alone run again.
