Went the following week and it was back - problem was a bad thread on a fusible plug - leaking. Apparently thisd had happened before that week. It was NOT a melted plug!
Great coverage, beautifully shot and edited thanks. Is that the Duke's original whistle? Sounds a lot more impressive than the other standards I've heard?
From the loco's carers - "The original A4 whistles made by Crosby were taken off during the war or the notes changed because they sounded like air raid sirens, also some broke off whilst the locos were running and a modification was made to the pin connecting the chamber to the bottom. So you might find the odd half a whistle somewhere along the east coast mainline! The chords were A,C & E . The whistle currently on the loco (a Crosby Tri-chime) is a copy of the original BR Crosby whistle."
Thanks - I have a pass for the KWVR but I reckon there are plenty of shots to be had on the Moors without walking the track. This is my 25th year up there with a video camera! and earlier (1970) with ciné.
Yeah, we meet at the Feb Gala at the KWVR, i also have a lineside pass for there, shall be up again for the 3 days at the following gala.
I agree there are a lot of shots on the moors other than on the trackside but for what the lineside pass cost me, i want to use it as much as possible this year.
Great Video, 5 Stars!

Good Video.
Cracking shot of 71000 Departing Grosmont
With having the lineside pass now, i tend not to do those sort of shots.
Well Done.
