@bigben5051 Thanks, yes but 5029 has 4 cyls v 34067 has 3, to give 5029 tractive effort 31.6k v 34067 te 27.7k. I've been puzzling about this. Is the end result affected by 34067 having superheat v 5029 (I believe) not? I've read it can make up to 30% difference. Would be interesting to see what 5043 could do.

Fantastic clips Keith, a single chimney Castle flat out and sounding amazing...That was definitely hair standing on the back of the neck stuff....Thanks....Bob

@robmasterman

Thanks Bob. Nunney always provides good viewing and always worth going to see. Keith

[tedgoater]

Great sound quality, thank you. Pure lack of power I reckon. Was interesting to see Tangmere run away with it by comparison a few weeks ago.

@tedgoater

Thank you. You're right, plenty of noise but maybe the performance not up to Tangmere's. Keith

@tedgoater I think your comment is a little unfair. Lets look at both locos:

5029: 1923 design, 6' 8 1/2" wheels, 225psi boiler pressure, a small boiler

34067: 1940s design, 6' 2" wheels, 250psi boiler pressure, large boiler

It's fairly obvious which engine will go up faster...

@GWRFlagandWhistle

@magic1ond

Thanks. Can't beat a single chimney castle for sound...

[bluewhitepete]

Terrific sight. You found a great place to watch tackling Upwey

[hemerdonbank]

@bluewhitepete

Thanks. It's a mutch better spot now the traffic is on the new road.

[MrFireboxchaser]

You found the crossing ok then Keith!!! Its a nice there and at 1 in 52 makes the loco work. Top work as usual.

[hemerdonbank]

@MrFireboxchaser

Thanks Nick. Bit of a yomp across the fields but worth it. Next time I'm up there I'll look for Winterhays. Keith

[MrFireboxchaser]

@hemerdonbank As I have said Keith, just ask if you need directions.

[MonochromeLoco]

lovely shot Keith. I assume that must be quite a climb there, going of the pace. nice to see the driver enhancing the shot further with a whistle blow.....Keith

@MonochromeLoco

Thanks Keith. Yes it's quite a climb out of Weymouth, always a good place to watch steam and Nunney makes a lot of noise. Keith
