lived all my life near this line , as a kid i remember the rawtenstall coal train being hauled by 40s and 25s i was in a countryside area near burrs and used to love watching the BR blue 40s thrashing their way up the valley often on misty winter mornings as i headed to school , .. i now hear the steam trains whistle as they make their way up to where i live now .. oh happy days

It's a nice part of the world. Nice to hear the regular working of steam!

Thumbs up for the faces you showed behind and on the Warship, you genuinely enjoyed that, especially the tunnel thrash which leaves your ears bleeding. I'm a diesel group volunteer, but sadly I wasn't there this year as other priorities were present. But done a lot of cab trips on the line on the home fleet and also on visiting locomotives over the years, see my Hymek video on my channel.

When you were riding in Onslaughts cab where you stood ontop of the raised section in the middle of the cab floor when D832 changed gear under load..... did you experience the "Wizzzzzzzz Clunk" from the Mekhydro K104 transmission through your feet when it did 😄
