A good video of a loco now under restoration, but I think you'll find the bank she climbs is called Miles Platting Bank, not Collyhurt Bank. Collyhurst is the area around the old Oldham Road station.
beautiful locos, flying Scotsman with her apple green is all well and good but you can't beat a Duchess in crimson lake, just a shame more of the class didn't survive, 46251 City of Nottingham and 6256 Sir William Stanier were still perfectly serviceable and even running railtours when they were scrapped. Sad really that heritage just got thrown out like that.
But high vis vests really are anoying, h&s sucks. AH YES, andyg3 but it keeps people alive, as a support team member on a main line steam loco, I'm only too aware how essential it is to see & be seen.
nice clip. it just sounds WRONG a steam/air pump on a british engine. br cars could be worse like virgin or one or gner those ugly new paint jobs. take br any day over those !
And not in 'Chocolate and Cream' livery either (NO OFFENCE TO GREAT WESTERN FANS INTENDED). Maroon or Carmine and Cream (aka Blood and Custard) would do!
One minor thing: if memory serves, it was Saturday 9th March 2002 when she did the Liverpool - York trip (The Yorkshire Coronation). This just happened to be the first railtour I ever travelled on. Great clip!
