very nice video, glad you hadn't packed away like I did when the convoy followed, maybe the chat with Chris, I also heard the hissing noise at close range, didn't seem to detract from the performance, lovely, cheers.

[rab4472]

@noelist Many thanks Leon. Having watched the Scot disappear up Shap I could hear the 66s as they were so close behind.

Fantastic camera work Mike, this loco is certainly in great form now, and the added bonus of a diesel convoy as well....Bob

[rab4472]

@robmasterman Thanks Bob. It was good to see the Scot back in action, although many linesiders seemed to think there was a steam leak somewhere.

Another brilliant video,it was a great shot thru Scout Green & catching the 5 diesels as well was a nice bonus (C&A) "liked"

[rab4472]

@EMuksteam Many thanks C&A. The 66s could have only been 1 block behind the Scot. Mike

[PhilbruProduction]

Still a very nice video. Thanks Mike.

Great shots Mike , the Scot looked superb in the sunshine even with the odd sound from the Scot, I like the position you took up at Shap to give such a long superb pan. Regards Steve

[rab4472]

@TheStephengthompson Cheers mate. I like the 2nd spot, and on less hazy day and with good exhaust you see the climb beyond Shap Wells

regards MIke

[khankadet]

Excellent Mike. I knew you'd do a good job on Shap and thanks for the chat there. Chris

[rab4472]

@khankadet Thanks Chris, you're too kind. Sorry yours didn't work out.  Enjoyed our chat. MIke

Nice one Mike, she did sound a bit odd at Leyland but it didn't seem to affect her performance. Definite overkill with those five 66's as insurance!

[rab4472]

@acw71000 Cheers Austin. The crew were clearly trying to make up lost time, although I understand there may have been a little diesel assistance in the hills.

Mike

[TheDoodyman]

Lovely video, Mike. I think these two clips show the Scot at her best today and the shot at Scout Green from that side is awesome. Thanks for sharing - Frank.

[rab4472]

@TheDoodyman Thank you Frank. The 2nd spot is a little challenging to get the panning right, but on a day when there's plenty of exhaust you can follow the loco beyond Shap Wells

Nice to hear from you

Mike

Excellent work Mike the Scot was thundering at Leyland and was looking splendid on the distant shot at Scout Green. Thanks for posting.

Cheers Phil.

[rab4472]

@981smithy Thanks Phil. Certainly trying to make up lost time at Leyland, although reports suggest the 47 helped a little up in the hills.

regards Mike

well captured...and a good cause

[rab4472]

@howarth004 Thanks Dave. From what I've read, it was a very successful day for the charity. Mike
