The Scots with their 2a boilers were the most efficient locos ever, this in terms of steam produced & the amount of coal needed to achieve this,

Yep Bullieds boilers were the best at steam production but @ great coal usage.

The 1948 exchange results illustrate the Scot,s virtues

Great Video, 5 Stars!

[genesis070365]

Pure magic, here to remind us of the days that should of stayed. Why do we want to get places faster anyway!! Thank you to all that make it possible!

[profatkwvr]

What sound!

[chazsmateII]

And the safety valves are lifting. Brilliant.

Here be dragons.

[AndreiTupolev]

There's a nice quote in Heritage Railway magazine that could make a nice postscript to those: "The steam age did not die in 1968 but, looking back, was briefly suspended."

[robmcg567]

Very moving and beautiful. Thanks.

[maesfforddfilmunit]

Just perfect!

[Bish66]

Fantastic. Nothing will ever take the place of steam in peoples hearts. 5*!

[sideranger]

Absolutely staggering, thank you

[Mikeacdc]

Brilliant how a scot should look and sound unlike the awful red thing.

[tfftfftff86]

This well-documented ascent of Shap must be one of the best performances by a footplate crew in the steam preservation era. And 46115 seems to be well up to the thrash.

[AndrewNeilClarkson]

Favourited!

[bristolmidland]

That is one of the best clips I have ever seen linesider. I have parked in the layby near there and dreamed of what used to be. The sound of that Scot is awesome! Very well done. 5*

[SteamAgePictures]

Well done, again! 5*

[NSRJohn]

Wish I'd been there!

[robmasterman]

A brilliant video production there David, The quotations from some of this country's best Railway Photographers, with an amazing performance from all the footplate staff, made it a spine chilling thing to watch...5* Bob

Another triumph. Well done.

So when can we expect you to turn your considerable skills to 60163 Tornado ?

Tim.

[Linesider1]

When she comes over the S&C I think - October time? Cheers.

[ashbytimuk]

I am very much looking forward to it :-)

[ralph5407]

For one moment I thought we were never going to see her, the suspense was killing....

[EMuksteam]

great video loved the quotes 5*

[AndrewNeilClarkson]

Amazing! It was blowing off leaving Oxenholme (see pipdon's vids) and still got steam to spare up Shap?

10 Stars!!

[GreatWestern175]

Wow, she really roared up the summit. Absolute legend!!
