@robmasterman Thanks Bob, that load was quite heavy and the gradient there I believe is in the region of 1 in 30. The WHR Garratts are just not driven that hard.
@noelist Thanks, there is more like this way back in my list, but this has been brought up to date with the correct screen aspect and at a higher quality.
@Garrattpower We are very lucky to have three running on the Welsh Highland Railway, less that 100 miles from where I live, so I can see them working regularly.
Well known sounds since ACR-times.

@howarth004 Thanks, they certainly are great little locos, but less of the old, that one I think is some 10 years younger than me.
