Thats a cracking shot Frank, when you hear that whistle you just know that something special is coming. Aren't we fortunate to be able to witness such performances. I like your two camera views, like Steves it certainly adds something

@acw71000 - Thanks very much Austin. That second camera is only cheap and the tripod mount is broken so it has to be a hand-held shot every time. I suppose the more doddery I become the more shaky they'll get ha ha - Frank.

@1Goldsteam - Thanks very much Alan. It would certainly be a spectacular sight to see her opened right up. One day, maybe, one day - Frank.

A bit later than the other comments Frank but great vid nonetheless! What a great station Lancaster is for shooting steam running through at full pelt! and Tornado? What else can you say that hasn't already been said? Marvellous! Good work. Ken

Lovely video Frank!  She was certainly shifting thru Lancaster. Late running was due to watering problems at Preston.

@rosegrovempd1 - Thank you, Dave. I'm hoping that a passenger with a sat-nav will let us know the speed through Lancaster - must be close to 70 I reckon - Frank.

Brilliant video, she really is shifting through Lancaster. A marvellous piece of engineering and fits into the 21st century with class. Regards Dave.
