Thanks for re-uploading. Super shots in great locations. Bit special for me, I was on the train and that ascent of Shap was something special. My sat-nav gave our speed as 43 mph at the summit, outstanding for a 4-6-0 unassisted with 12 on. We actually arrived in Carlisle some 12 mins early, thanks to a super loco, great crew, and apparently an unusually good batch of coal ! The performance was kept up all day, no time lost anywhere - made for a memorable day out. Thanks again for sharing.

@2844CHu So you was on the train and used a sat-nav to calculate the speed she was going up the summit. Thats really handy to use, I have been trying to figure out for months as to how fast she went over Shap but cheers for informing me I'l put it into my log book, and nice to know you had an enjoyable trip aswell, I long to get the Scot over Shap and Beattock

great footage

Excellent coverage of one of the better locos on the circuit Ryan, the sound of the Scot in full flow will take some beating. All three locations showed her off well and all at different speeds. Thanks for posting.

Regards Phil.

@981smithy aye the Scot is one real show stopper and its now a firm favourite mainline locomotive, but the performance at Shap with 12 on really impressed all that were there, and I'm glad I was there to witness it

Glorious sound track. Super filming too

[collieultimo]

Good decision, otherwise we would have missed a very good video. And the excellent soundtrack is again the icing on the cake.

@collieultimo cheers mate it came into my head about getting this vid back up again. Is the thumbnail showing at all? Dosn't seem to show on my yt account :S

[collieultimo]

@GreatWestern175 Thumbnail showing is all right here - sometimes the replication periods varies from server to server
