34067 Tangmere Blitzes Upwey Bank unassisted with the Sunny south special

[colliecandle]

Im surprised with this loco's past performance it could manage to even climb Upwey bank light engine! But fair play!  It got up there in good form, so I must give credit where due.

The engine performed very well. By coincidence I saw it yesterday at Woking, not doing quite so well as it had stopped to let the passengers get off, but a nice surprise when I didn't know anything about it and had been to Salisbury for the day.

Superb stuff. One of Mr. Bulleid's finest and its absolute best. Who needs a 37 when you've got a Spamcan?

Would love to see and hear the whole sequence without any edits.

@gibbon92 too long for utube

[leggo23]

[04clemea]

@leggo23 1 in 50

Only a Bulleid would 'blow off' like that with the steam being used at full throttle - amazing machines!

[JimTLonW6]

Very impressive performance.

[spiccybaby]

That was steam at 100% the crew could not have done any better than that, that was a monumental performance

[HentisD6569]

Fantastic Footage of tangers blitzing upwey bank. I managed to get some shots of her at Poole on the way down as well as the much delayed return journey also. thanks for posting this.

[foreversteam]

[hurleyfunbags]

A stunning performance from the crew and loco. I wish I had gone on this one now!

great vid 5* i had the same problem i was waiting for over 1 and a half hours at pirbright to see her but never did in the end it was to dark to film thanks for posting matt

[NwsNoaaChaser]

Great video mate!! 5*. I was waiting at Redbridge for over an hour in the evening - do you know why she was late?

[04clemea]

I do it was the class 37 that burst into flames when it was top and tailed with Tangmere on its was to Yeovil so Tangmere had to push it to Yeovil pen mill where it was detached which made us very late getting to Yeovil Junction but that meant that Tangmere had to tackle Upwey Bank unassisted.

[NwsNoaaChaser]

OK, thanks a lot mate - Shame about the Class 37

[04clemea]

It's not much of a shame as Tangmere rescued the Diesel LOL

[andyg3]

bloody brilliant!

[Christopher125]

highly impressive 5*

[HughFromAlice]

That was amazing. Wonder what the power output was. EveThat normally soft Lemaitre exhaust was almost barking.

V smart acceleration at the start, blowing off around 3.30 - what a boiler and fireman, only one major slip up the bank very smartly recovered from - what a driver. In fact, what an engine and credit to her whole team.

Great to be able to enjoy the ascent from across the miles.

Great video and loved very minute! Thanks for putting it on You Tube, which meant that I can see up todate steam action all the way out here in Cyprus.

Many thanks 33022
