Duchess Steam Locomotive Attacks Beattock Bank

46233 Duchess Of Sutherland on her old stamping ground of Beattock, filmed on 2 dates - 6 October 2012, and 19 March 2016. Both runs are seen on the more famous, and arduous, northbound climb, before we catch up with her at Carstairs. The final series of shots shows her returning south in 2012, through the Upper Clyde Valley and leaving Lockerbie at dusk. The later tour had the distinction of being operated by DB-Schenker, but featuring WCRC stock.

    A thoroughly enjoyable compilation, thanks David, with some superb locations and turning very variable lighting into atmospheric video. I particularly enjoyed the rather quick sequence at around 04:20, even though the exhaust was more audible than visually noticeable! Kind regards, Bob.

    Thank you very much Bob. Yes she was fairly shifting there, I was just a little annoyed that my memory failed to remind me of the signal at that location which blocks the view somewhat - but time was tight so I stuck with it. Glad I did in hindsight :)

    That first shot is outstanding and skilful. Having said that please permit this little criticism. Do not go into 'wide angle' when train passes. It simply makes engine look smaller. Instead keep 1:1 ratio as it passes. This is such a common mistake amongst amateurs who make train videos.

    Keep it zoomed in throughout at the same focal length you mean? If so, that would make for a dreadful video in my opinion.

    I didn't notice slipping on the hill climbs, but the poor start at 4:50 onwards would have been a big problem in regular service. Looked as if the sanding gear was in use, but it still could not get away for a while.

    They occasionally run through Lockerbie - sometimes stopping there for water but unfortunately it's not used as a boarding point. Instead, these trains usually originate from Carlisle, Edinburgh or Glasgow, or evern further afield. You can look for upcoming runs on this website, although I don't think there's anything else scheduled for this year sadly: www.uksteam.info/tours/trs18.htm
