Beautiful Video - Is this really the end of the line for "Rood Ashton Hall" ??? ... Or is she being overhauled, in order that she may ride again ???

Thanks for the comment. If you go to go on the Tyseley (Vintage Trains) website, Bob Meanley (the chief engineer at Tyseley) is optimistic that given the funding she will be out again in November 2009. Sure this will depend on what they find needs doing - but she should be back sometime. Donate if you care. Chris

Albert Hall - err! Sorry Rood Ashton!

I remember her from the late 70's when I was first walked round Tyseley's engine shed's b4they closed them off to the public. Always a nicely turned out loco. Does she ever slip when starting her trains as I haven't seen her do that once. Very surefooted.

Good upload.

Considering she's at the end of her ticket her appearance is an outstanding credit to her crew. I can't recal her slipping though I do have a video of one of the Halls momentarily losing her feet leaving Chester. Chris
