I wonder how they turn it? Turntables are long gone. I assume this video was shot at the end of the line, where it had to couple to the end of the train and run backwards.
Fantastic to see something like this built in this day and age! Can somebody please build a Bullied 'Leader' now!!! How about a Class 29 too! Shall I make a list?
Well, being primarily a diesel and electric fan I would'nt go that far, but with fuel running out like it is and the fact that Britain has about 100 years of coal still to mine even at today's rates, it might not be long before a new more economic steam loco does appear. Leader could have been the future if it had worked out better. P.s. Is that Fish or Hogarth? For me it's Fish!
Its both for me. but i domlove H's soulful voice and i do like Fishs style. I am interviewing them in November :D. But yea if this oes go well. I do hope they at least bring a few steam engines in use. I did think that they could come up with sommat to make steam engines more greener like for example a filter in the funnel so when the smoke comes out theres no carbon dioxide
I logged in specially to say exactly the same thing! Grey lined out in orange and brown would look fantastic. I'd like to see the number, very large on the tender, in white. What an accomplishment to build this....!

I totally agree aswell. She suits the Grey Livery. Perhaps its a Hark back to the A4 Silver/Grey Livery haha. Bit of Nostalgia.
