I fire Statfold, and she is a lovely loco. The climb into Woody bay is quite steep but she handles it well, even with the 4th coach in tow. She is sick at moment with leaky tubes.
Yes, the (down*) uphill journey consists of 1 in 50 climb.whereas the (up*) downhill journey is basically about braking. (* UK railway tradition - up = to London and down = away from London).
Tackling that hill, the Locomotive sounded like it was saying "I can do it, I can do it."

About 1 mile working at the moment - more planned.
Not an original train running but some original stock can be seen in the background.
