@vulcansrule007 Sounds like AWS to me, certainly - early types used a real bell instead of an electronic chime. You can also hear the horn indication from it in the later part of the video.
A rare treat indeed, to share the footplate experience, and full credit to the fireman/men who work so hard for others to enjoy this magical sight..thanks for sharing...5*..Bob
That was very interesting especially for those of us who will never get the chance to travel on the footplate. Fascinating. I would like to see more like this please. Many thanks - Chris

The piston beats sound really fast at about 2:50 onwards.
A well put-together video showing various views from inside the cab.
