Very impressive views both of the locomotive and the scenery. I'd think that working this locomotive in cold or wet conditions could be very demanding for the crew. I'm sure there were cheers on the Southern when Bulleid gave the drivers improved cabs.

Very true, I suspect going tender first would be even worse.

Just come across this one - the dreaded "Ethel" as well. Smashing set of shots, and lots of "grunt".  Thanks again, Austin. . . . . . . Alan

Thanks Alan, I remember this trip so well, given the conditions I wasn't sure about going but was well pleased returning home!

Excellent compilation - The video in the snow and sun must have been extremely satisfying! Crew were not very well protected in this locomotive design - when "men were men" eh! 5* - Mike

Thanks Mike, yes extremely satisfying sums it up. That day was never bettered until last February when 46115 ran over a snowy S & C

This took me back 60 years to when I joined The Southern at Ramsgate where we had a great variety of locos including The Arthurs.

Happy days!
