very nice vid and I specially like the exhaust sound, you've done a very good job there.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. The video was actually recorded in HD but was just about two weeks prior to being able to watch HD videos on YouTube. It was the cameras second outing

[sammyb1929]

fantastic engine it looked a bit out of place with those coaches if only they could par it up with some orginal 1930s coaches that would look spectacular

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, it's a shame the Great Western vintage train set of coaches are no longer allowed on the main line.

Superb Video - This is the most evocative scene/setting i've ever seen this loco in.

[acw71000]

Thank you, I may upload this again as it was shot in HD but just before YouTube could play HD footage.

As it went under the other bridge behind, an orange light just appeared. what was it. If your not sure look at my video of it at chester and go to the end.

[acw71000]

I think it will be the fireman opening the firebox door to put some coal on and the glow from the fire is reflected in the smoke and steam.

[bradleigh10]

right, cheers

saw this beast at crewe yesterday! my god she was impressive! great video 5*

[acw71000]

Thanks, she is certainly well cared for judging by her immaculate condition.

Nice one Austin, and as has been said good location for the exit from Chester...

[acw71000]

Thanks Ralph, it at least enabled me to film in the last of the light rather than going further down the line...Austin

[acw71000]

Thanks Steve, I was at Lydgate and was numb by the time the train arrived. I think I'll stick to rehashing my old videos at home in the warmth!!

[robmasterman]

You certainly chose a great location Austin, enabling you to capture all the action with no steam or fellow photographers blocking your view, so well taken and 5*'s from me..Bob

[acw71000]

Many thanks Bob, I hadn't been to that spot since the early nineties so was surprised to find there was still a shot on. Filming is a little tricky as there is a gantry just a few feet from the footbridge which manages to make a sneak appearance as the stock is being brought out...Austin

[NN2Blue]

Excellent video - thanks for sharing.

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, pleased you enjoyed it.

Nice one Austin. Tysley certainly look after their locos.

[acw71000]

Thank you, they certainly do. All their operations seem very professional and the loco looked absolutely superb.
