It sounds like Zontar's Granada trying to start up! Id vote for 'forgetting' to put the silencer back on... and have the TWO exhaust ports open! Well done with the Gronk.
Great to see this loco start again after so long I was the person that filmed it been unloaded at carnforth and see that you have put a link to it from your site thank you
Thats a bit dreadful ! In fact its feckin hellfire ! Well done chaps, there will be one bloke in our group who will be bellowing when he sees this video !
Give her a pint of Ether!

Seems along time since I first "viewed" this loco sat in a bush in the yard at Carnforth.
Good job we didn't take it on face value as it was the worst "complete" 08 i'd ever seen, but, you can't beat a good challenge!
