Excellent video of a fantastic loco.

@crewestokie Thank you very much - she certainly looks the part. Chris

Another great film Chris. That's a great shot of the train snaking away. I may well hanker after a new camera (to get excellent long distance shots such as these) and you may hanker after producing quality films that Ralph produces but I think you are closer than you realise.

@LMSStanier Thanks David - A good camera and a lot of luck sometimes works for me. Chris

[LMSStanier]

@khankadet You're quite right Chris. A lot of luck does work. I've had an up and down last few days with special charter trains (22nd, 23rd and 24th). Very much swings and round-a-bouts.

You did well there Chris, by choosing the footbridge and missing the HST, a great video throughout...5* Bob

[AndrzejMastalerz]

Interesting video. I like when at the end the train winds like a snake.

good 1 mate good see some footage of 60163 at carlise. just 1 question do u know why that nxec hst is doing there?

[khankadet]

Thanks. As to your question - I believe there was engineering work taking place on the East Coast Mainline and there were a lot of Newcastle trains passing through Carlisle which were presumably using the Settle & Carlisle line. This shuffling of trains over to the S&C may be the cause of Tornado having her return route changed from the S&C (back to Hellifield) to the West Coast Mainline (over Shap to Preston) "due to pathing difficulties". I can't say for sure but it sounds feasible. Chris

thanks

[EMuksteam]

Excellent once again,hope you had an enjoyable day? 5*

[khankadet]

Thanks again. Long and tiring but wouldn't have missed it for worlds. Sutherland's crew and the loco herself put in a fine performance and Tornado just added that bit more. Chris

[khankadet]

Gotcha - not very considerate to walk past everyon like that - bless her. Chris
