Nice vid tellem to get their own stepladder

[TheDoodyman]

Haha, thanks very much - Frank.

[robmasterman]

What a magnificent sight Frank, and you captured it superbly..they've certainly pulled out all the stops to get the 8F to that standard...5* Bob

[TheDoodyman]

Thank you, Bob. As you say it was a magnificent sight.....I just wonder what it would have been like with the Scot - Frank.

Nice footage Frank, and as you say the locos looked great -- a credit to all concerned.

Mike

[TheDoodyman]

Thanks, Mike - what a difference in 48151's appearance from just over a week ago - Frank.

[LMSStanier]

That's a superb start and sound from both locomotives. Well filmed, Frank. Those step ladders came in useful.

[TheDoodyman]

Thanks, David. I missed the whistles and initial start because of an old chap who had borrowed the ladder for a still shot, then just stood watching. I had to shout at him to get off. Last time I do that! - Frank.

[LMSStanier]

@TheDoodyman Wow!! The cheek!!

[981smithy]

Great Video Frank 5*

[TheDoodyman]

Thanks very much - they were a fantastic sight - Frank.

[TheDoodyman]

Thanks Steve. I know - I'd got everything planned and find that parked there! There's nothing you can do when that happens - Frank.

[noelist]

well done, I was up the hill in the end shot obscured by steam, pressed the record button and stopped the recording, forgot it was already on, gutted, was fantastic up there with the sound echoing of the houses next to the field. wonder when I'll get another chance. 48151 had just been painted, really shineing, lovely video, thanks.

[TheDoodyman]

Thanks Leon. Sorry to hear that - the echoing sound would have been awesome. I would have been devastated - Frank.

[BitsBobsThisAndThat]

Well done 5* :) . Was hoping to catch on the straight up to Eccles, but was let down on a lift. :(

[TheDoodyman]

Thank you Keith - they would make a great night time shot at Preston tonight - Frank.

First-rate clip, thanks for posting. I hope everyone who watched the special remembers what it's all about and chips in - a little from us is not much to ask for a lot given by others...

[TheDoodyman]

Thank you and I agree - I've added details of the charity in the info panel over on the right - Frank.

[BristolCastle]

Great video shame about 46115 Scots Guardsman not running but great to see 48151 is back in action again

[TheDoodyman]

Thank you, Thomas - these two made an odd pairing but fantastic sight and sound - Frank.

Thanks, Gareth, glad you liked it - Frank.

[lancasterrach]

Excellent Dad... I really like it - great to see two beautiful engines together and for a very good cause too - Rach :) xx

[TheDoodyman]

Thanks, Rach - certainly a credit to West Coast Railways who must have worked very hard over the last week to ensure such a high standard of turn-out for both locos and 14 coaches - Dad x

[ffeog4568]

Thank you, Geoffrey. It would have been better without the track machine but there you go - Frank.
