Wasn't it Allan and it sounded blooming great when it powered past me following a class 350.

Despite the setback at New Street Mike you still managed to get some great footage of the Western. What a fantastic loco she is. Best regards mate, Colin.

My first shot was well worth missing my tea for Colin, I was very happy with the Westerns performance at Marston Green. Cheers Mike.

At least you got *SOME* footage of it I was able to capture it light locomotive at Ealing Broadway, and then I headed west, planning to capture it at Reading but as it was up the arse of the Elizabeth line train I was on, I bailed out at Twyford and caught her thrashing through there and didn't do too bad overall That kid running around in front of the camera 📷 was a bloody nuisance

Great stuff, I bet you enjoyed travelling behind that Western, I was on the last railtour to Scarborough it did eight years ago. Thank you for watching my video.

Great video Mike. I was at Canley to see it and as it came out of platform 4 at Coventry it was still pulling hard as it passed by. Fabulous sounding locomotive...

Oh yes Jacob I was very pleased the way it all turned out a MG, just a shame the LE move was early as it was booked through platform 7, but because it was early went through platform 5. Cheers Mike.

Excellent footage 👍 I saw it storming through Ealing Broadway

Great footage there of the Western and 57 Mike, they sounded incredible, pity about your shot of it departing light engine but what can you do? Typical inconsiderate kids. Anyway didnt ruin your shot thats the main thing. Enjoyed cheers Nick.
