What a beautiful sound

Superb Filming Stephen.

Incredible display by the Black5 as always. Help in gaining speed then shutting off,from the 47 can be excused this time. Excellent.

Fine scenes - well filmed. The 'Five" sounded like it might have struggled to pass its own FTR with the cylinder leaks!

Thanks C&A, the five was a superb stand in for 46115 and was working well I thought .

That's a hell of a weight to be hauling up a 1in100 gradient. Looks like the 47 was giving a little shove judging by the way the 5 picked up a little off of the 30mph slack over the viaduct. Great video by the way.

There are Thomas but I’m not sure what the speed is 🤔

Why is it blowing off steam from the cylinders? In the later high speed sections, its only from one side. Are they running with both or one of the cylinder drain cocks open? Why would they waste steam doing that? Anyone know?

Think it’s a common problem on LMS engines with blowing drain cocks but not sure what causes it 🤷

@@TheStephengthompson My grandfather told me that as a kid in rural northern Louisiana, which would have been well over a hundred years ago (I'm now 65 myself), they would go out and soap the top of the rails on grades to watch the fun. I can imagine the mothers wondering why the soap seemed to be disappearing. Then during rains there were likely piles of sand with soap bubbles coming out of them.

Beautiful stuff. The 47 wasn’t actually shoving that hard either at Blea Moor…notch 3 or 4 I’d estimate.
