Majestic locomotive, Mike. Bravo for two superb shots. Thanks.

@PhilbruProduction Merci beaucoup Philippe. Malheureusement Tornado a depuis été à nouveau échoué avec des séjours chaudière cassée, laisse ainsi espérer que ce n'est pas long avant que cette belle machine est à nouveau sur la canalisation principale. Mike

Shap Bank? What Bank? 60163 continues to impress. Great video and filming.

[rab4472]

@hurleyfunbags many thanks for your comments. Tornado and crew certainly seemed to have plenty in reserve. Mike

[robmasterman]

Two excellent shots Mike, what a performer this loco is...brilliant stuff...Bob

[rab4472]

@robmasterman thanks Bob. You get the feeling there's always plenty in reserve. I'd like to see the loco over Shap again with a heavier loading and in more typical northern weather.

That was a cracking video, Mike. As to the panning; mine are not as good as that when I can see the engine. Yours was hidden behind a hill so I thought you did brilliantly. ★★★★★- Frank.

[rab4472]

@TheDoodyman many thanks Frank, you're too kind. Having been to that spot before its been fairly easy to follow locos as there's normally plenty of exhaust; but not this time. regards Mike

[rab4472]

@stephengthompson thanks Steve. With hindsight I should have expected a fast run and perhaps found a different location. As it was running late at KS I decided not try any further down.

No doubt we'll see each other again soon. regards Mike

[noelist]

a roaring beast, great video, marvelous scenery, and that's a great location, loved the way it swallowed all the photters cars and a DMU like a roaring pac-man...

[rab4472]

@noelist thanks mate. I'm pretty sure no one was disappointed with the performance, although a bit of clag would have been nice -- I know, some folk are never happy, he he

[MorrisManDanceMan]

very good thanks

[rab4472]

@MorrisManDanceMan thank you, pleased you liked it (and thanks for the vids you have posted)

Lovely film Mike ! Tornado making it look easy. Thanks for sharing Brian

[rab4472]

@782sirbrian thanks Brian. You get the impression there was plenty in reserve. Mike

[HughFromAlice]

[EMuksteam]

great video was certainly getting on with it at kirkby stephen

[rab4472]

@EMuksteam many thanks. nice to get a whistle as well

[AndreiTupolev]

Looks like you had a job swinging the camera round quickly enough to keep up! i'm sure that's at least as fast as a Pendo.

[rab4472]

@AndreiTupolev cheers AT. Yes, I failed miserably to keep pace with her. A cracking performance by crew and loco

[acw71000]

Two great clips there Mike, not surprised you had panning problems, she was flying. I reckon it must be up there with the best runs of the Duke and Duchess with similar loads.

[rab4472]

@acw71000 many thanks Austin. Reports suggest it was a record run. Mike

[SPINNER673]

Excellent footage. Word is that she beat Duke of Gloucester's record by 19 seconds.

[rab4472]

@SPINNER673  many thanks. I wonder if we'd have seen an even better performance up Shap if there hadn't been a lineside fire risk.
