@addernoir01 Yes the second coach includes a generator which is the diesel engine noise you can hear. Regards, John

[molzips]

@addernoir01 I don't believe it had any special purpose other than adding capacity to the stock. The generator car is usually sited at the either end of the train. Regards, John

Nice vid - particularly liked the second shot with the steam blowing at almost 90 degrees to the engine despite the reasonably high speed. Must have been mighty windy.

Last shot: Still amazes me how many people turn out to watch a steam train go through their local station!!!

@HughFromAlice Hugh, Glad you enjoyed. The wind was very strong all day and steam through Church Stretton (even in the dark) attracts a lot of people. Regards, John

@Chase1609 I appreciate your comment and we are lucky over here as there are many railtours to choose from over the year. Regards, John

Hiya molzips,

A very enjoyable vid. The first shot of KE1 was moody with the dark sky. The 2nd shot of KE1 was very impressive and I noted the engine had a good load (12) on. I loved the night shot of Tornado. I've subscribed to your channel. I filmed Tornado yesterday leaving Paddington. Have a look and if you like, comment and subscribe back.

@bkendlerA4 Barry, Your comment about the first shot is interesting as I was disappointed with the result but it is good to receive other opinions. Thanks for your comment. Regards, John

@robmasterman Bob, We were so lucky to get two great engines on the same day on a route that has produced some excellent video footage from many followers. I was lucky with the lighting on the first Tornado shot. Thanks for taking time to comment. Regards, John

Great stuff John , lovely to sit and watch from start to finish and the night shot finished it off just nicely. Steve

@TheStephengthompson Steve, I just had to get both legs of each tour so a station shot at the end was the only way. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for taking time to comment. Regards, John

Well captured John on a day when both locos performed so well. I tried to get the view you mentioned from the top of Ragleth Hill myself earlier this year but took a wrong turn walking about up there, so its useful to know that the dreaded vegetation has now spolt the view

[molzips]

@acw71000 Austin, I was disappointed with the view from the top of that hill it looked full of promise using Google Earth. However, not a bad day really and thanks for your comment. Regards, John

Really great footage of Tornado. We were on the train!

[molzips]

@Shroppieguy That must have been a great journey and did you count the number of times the crew used the whistle! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for taking the time to comment. Regards, John

Excellent John your coverage of the days events were top drawer, Tornado with her excellent chime and the King with his splendid whistle all making to a very enjoyable day.

Thanks for posting......Phil.

[molzips]

@981smithy Phil, Interesting point about the whistles, as of late I have noticed a liberal use, especially Tornado. I wonder whether there is a competition of use amongst the crews. I am sure you will agree it was a great day and there is some great footage on Youtube. Thanks for your comment. Regards, John
