Black 5 on the Tamar Valley Branch Line

This is a video of the black 5's visit to Plymouth and was filmed over two days. The Black 5 ran loco first up the Gunnislake line as far as Bere Ferrers in the afternoon, I was going to traval behind it but due to the local bus running late and a driver change I missed the chance...

Nice video, i'd love to go to Britain and Scotland and go on these Vintage trains, cause Britain is where the Railway started

Hi Curt, This line runs past my home and used to be Double Track back now sadly single line and as been for the past 35+ years, The Black 5 made it into the news that day because steam disappeared on the Gunney Line when it was Singled.

Nicely editied, love the whistles on LMS locos, but their not as good as GWR ones! Loved the second shot with the bridge! The shot at around the 5 minute mark, when you can see the 37 and the Black 5 through the bridge was again a good one. All the shots were good! Good work gronster!

Cheers JBT, The bridge goes over Tamerton Lake (Where I Live), I had a problem with the branches sticking out on the tree just in front of me on the right with the autofocus. But the shot came out no to bad in the end.

I'm just glad there are railway preservationists all over, we have the Vintage Locomotive Society here in Manitoba, Canada
