thanks for the comments, and i agree completly, a great show, the crew seem eager to please the passengers and viewers.

cheers for the comment m8, um, around and about 60 mph i think, maybe a little more at times, they were really pushing hard, really difficult to keep up with it on welsh mountain roads! fortunatly we found this long straight national speed limit road near tywyn. perfect! lol

Made me laugh.

Indeed it is not there (a shame)

I saw a freight train there once too. 37 + about 6 - 8 various trucks

I have a nice memory of being overtaken along the Tonfanau road by a 22xx with a very short freight (one wagon and a brake I think).

Shows steam can still flog along in the 21st Century....1968...when was that...There may be a reprise with the price of oil heading to the stars...

Excellent footage, worth the little chuckle at the end.

Great video BTW :-)

It is not the Welsh who clog up Welsh roads! Considering the fact that 76079 is owned by a Welshman it might be wise not to make such stupid comments.

[danzwook]

haha, yea, i think he wanted a go too, don't suppose i can blame him for that but would have been nice to have kept up a little longer!

No 79 going like hell as usual. Loved it!
