Ex-GWR engine 4965 Rood Ashton Hall approaches Aldridge tonight with the 1Z49 Chester to Tyseley returning charter train, a farewell tour for the locomotive.
The driver must have somehow seen me on the dark bridge as the loco let out a piercing whistle into the cold night air. Superb !

  • Night Fires .....

  • Aww Yess !

  • Superb mate, that beats any possible daylight vid attempt! Awesome....

  • Thanks !

  • such a shame the video quality isnt better, the way the light shines on the steam and the carriage sides is just perfect, especially with the perfect timing of the whistle. A well deserved 5*

  • Thanks for the comments. Think I need a new camera !
