Spine tingling footage and rounded off spectacularly with the 2 pannier tanks! Just love seeing steam facing the challenges of the Lickey. In early 60's, I believe pannier tanks of the 94xx variety was the stable diet rather than those seen here with the odd Jinty thrown in for good measure. Finally, and just a thought. I cannot understand those who become hysterical about diesels on the same incline. I find there is just no comparison!

Hello John and thank you for your kind comments. My pleasure to share and glad you enjoyed. Alan

See, I told you I was in for a treat. What a lovely side on shot of Lizzie at speed with the sun glinting of her paintwork. And as for the Lickie shot, WOW!! All the best.

Isn't it great when 'local folk' come to the rescue? Great footage and many thanks for sharing.

Hi EM and thank you for the great comments, very glad you enjoyed. Alan

Hi and thank you for your kind comments, God bless (nice) locals! Alan

Hi and thank you for your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed the show, it was a great day. Alan

Hi Phil: thanks again for much appreciated comments, that last little bit of luck certainly helped in a frustrating day. Alan

Hi and thank you for the nice comment, especially as you were one of the lucky passengers! Alan

Hi again Tim and thank you for the kind and interesting comments. The Corston shot probably looks different from the usual in that I had to cut in very close to track level in order to cut out all the heads that were in front of me and I guess that gives more of an impression of a "pacing" shot. It is true: Lizzie is huge! in fact they have to fit (yellow) extenders to the Churston turntable in order to fit her on! see my "Lizzie takes a Lashing" clip 1:57 onwards (low def). Alan

This is fun. Thanks very much again once more.

Hi and thank you for the nice comments from across the "Pond". Will toast your good health with a glass of Tropicana at tea-time! Alan

Hi again: I'm really glad that you are enjoying other postings on the channel, it makes sharing these clips worthwhile. Alan

Fantastic. I was at Vigo watching them climb the bank. The sound to the naked ear was intense. U.K. going there on July 1st for a double header

Hello Luke and thank you for your kind, interesting and very much appreciated comments. I have not been back since electrification and I expect the "down the track" shots are pretty messed-up with gantries now. Maybe more of a side-on view from up on the hill on either side would still be O.K. though? Best regards, Alan

@@Steamclips I have seen a recent video at a foot crossing by pikes pool. The view is framed by the gantries. I’ll be there from early tomorrow to try it out filming. If the location is impossible I’ll settle for the side on shots. Are you heading there tomorrow? 46100 & 45231 are climbing the bank

Amen to that my friend! Many thanks. Alan

Up Lickey are those panniers doing much? Lizzie looks just fine by herself!!

Hi Ryan: yes, it's one of the few well known locations I have never filmed or photographed. I was lucky to get a little "local" assistance at the last minute, otherwise my filming might have been very restricted. I think we may have seen you as we were driving through Burcot afterwards, but we were in a lot of traffic and couldn't stop. Maybe see you on one of the Cornish tours if we can avoid a steam ban this year! Alan

Hi: you are very welcome! glad that you enjoyed. Alan

I remember watching a Thomas episode with my son that had this in it

Finally catching up from last weekend - thanks Alan, very much enjoyed this clip! The Lickey shot is hands down the spectacular one but I very much enjoyed your Corston shot too. Not quite sure what's different about it, perhaps the elevation angle or just the speed but I very much like how elegant Lizzie looks here. I often think the Princesses look a bit long round the firebox and cab but she looks great in that clip particularly. Thanks for all your work shooting and sharing! Tim

Nice collection of shots, from a great tour. :-)

Despite all your problem finding a good viewing place I think you done well with the locations you videoed at.The opening clips at Corston were brilliant.EM

It’s a shame none of the LMS/LNER Garrats didn’t survive into preservation. Seeing and hearing one or even two of those engines attacking the Lickey Incline would’ve been awe-striking.

Hi and thank you for your interesting comment. I remember seeing a full sized Garrat that had been recovered from Africa and stored at Plympton for a while on a special piece of track gauged at 1 metre and it was massive!! I have no idea where it is now. Regards Alan

Was the Bank shot at Vigo? I remember many happy hours in the 60's watching up and down trains from there.

I saw that for the very first time a lizzie at the front and two of panniers at the back at my local station Alan and its the first time ever since the 60s when the steam locos became the only traction to go up the incline to help the other train

two years before that that locomotive 6201 went up the incline again this time it was 9600 who was giving the helping hand alan

Alan - another extraordinary treat for us - thankyou. Fortuitous chat with the Country Gent, eh. I notice L94 is star of another video of yours - "Brave Little Pannier" I think. Is she 'at home' on the SDR, or rented out to whomsoever? Would this be a railtour that runs with whatever the company thinks might be enticing - thus Lizzie and L94, plus the other pannier I couldn't catch? Whatever, I'm glad that you were able to capture it. Thanks again

Hi Peter:Thank you for more lovely remarks, I really appreciate it. L97 is in the Tyseley collection, see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyseley_Locomotive_Works and the tour operating arm of the collection; Vintage Trains, ran this tour. Vintage trains also have locomotives on loan to service their tours and on this occasion 60201 and 9600 were "guesting". Quite often guest locomotives have recently undergone servicing at Tyseley locomotive works. Best wishes, Alan

You never been to the Lickey before??? A place where everyone goes for all the obvious reason for this. Although I personally think lizzie hauling nine coaches with two bankers is just childs play Its quite ironic as I was close by to you at Corston but on a different spot

Nice work Alan. Enjoyed your vid and the stories in your notes. Seriously powerful climbing. Lizzie + Pannier Power - although by the black smoke it didn't look like the firemen on the Panniers got much time to wave to the crowd!! …☁☁☁⁘⁙☁☁⁙..☁……Hᴜɢʜ….TU…..ツ

There is no such thing as trespassing on farmer's land.. don't be conned.. They pulled that law years ago as the right to ramble is a basic human right in England. There are very valid reasons why.. look it up. So long as you're courteous, respectful you farmer's property (no littering for example) they can't touch you

really nice view!

Well a Class 8 with only 9 on should be working within it's capacity. Looks like the fireman of the LT pannier needs a few pointers.

Hi Bob and thank you for your interesting and much appreciated comment. It is worth noting that these events are somewhat "staged" for the benefit of passengers, hence the wide open regulators vs such a tiny load. It was pretty spectacular though!! Regards, Alan

Thanks for your reply Alan. My comments were solely related to the happenings on the screen and not your video, which was very well done. Yes, of course, you are right; they are a show and bear little resemblance to what real steam operation was.
