Some great footage from the ELR there Chris. Glad you got to see some Southern steam again.

@LMSStanier Thanks David. Good to see Lord Nelson again - shame the wind took so much of her unique exhaust sound away. Chris

Hiya Chris, 850 looks great. Always looks odd away from the Southern. Excellent film. A like from me. Barry

@bkendlerA4 Thanks Tim. She's a cracking box of tricks and I'm lucky to have seen her again. Those 8 beats to each revolution are so "different" - love it. If it hadn't been so windy I might have grabbed a few more seconds of the sound. Chris

@khankadet Sorry Barry - can't think why I wrote Tim. I get worse.  ;o) Chris

Excellent video Chris - very steady. I'm quite a fan of 850 - such a unique loco. Shame we have hardly seen her up here - would love to see her at fully cry on the S&C. I reckon I've not seen 80080 since 1993 either, when I was fortunate enough to be invited on the footplate for a warm up at Kirkby Stephen. Another lovely loco - shame I couldn't make the gala, but this makes up for it. Thanks, David.

@Linesider1 Thanks David - are you saving yourself for the Winter CMEs I wonder? Hope so. I had hoped to capture 850s unique exhaust but the wind didn't play ball. There are a couple of brief moments when you can compare the exhaust with 80080. I may be biased but think she's a very impressive, powerful looking loco and would also like to see out in anger. There was some talk a while ago once they were sure all the niggles were sorted but I'm not optimistic. Good to get a warm up in a cab. Chris

@khankadet Thank you, hope you liked them. I'm glad Lord Nelson has returned to the ELR. When she first came she double headed with Leander and they both looked stunning. I heard Nellie double headed with the Duke. Would of loved to have seen that!!

David.

@robmasterman Thanks Bob. Yep - I sure did enjoy it. Have to grab these chances when they come - you never know whether you'll get another chance see these "foreigners". Chris
