the good thing about steam locos is that if something goes wrong they can usually limp back/continue under their own steam. Modern trains tend to stop. I do agree that there seemed to be something wrong.

She certainly did sound rough, sounds as though one of her cylinders are blowing by, resulting in the odd sounding exhaust beat.

Blimey she sounds really rough on there. Sounds like a valve and timing problem to me. I was at the MHR some years ago when 35005 (in blue livery) was failed with a valve problem. She sounded like this.
