Hey,
Fantastic footage :]
5*'s
I'm looking to go up to Shap in June for 5043 and would rather like to visit the shot you did at Shap Fell, if you could point me out with any directions at all then they would be highly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Simon

In 1926 a company named Sir W.G.Armstrong-Whitworth of Newcastle-On-Tyne built 30 broad gauge (5ft3in) locomotives for South Australian Railways.Ten were heavy Pacifics (4-6-2) of around 45000lbs tractive effort.They were classified as 600 class and the last one built (609) was named Duke of Gloucestor.Although larger and heavier than 71000 they were not too disimilar.609 could handle a 750tonne passenger express at a permissable 70mph on good tracks.

Dont blink or you'll miss something on my little Vlog.
Thanks Ralph for your ever kind comments.
Look out for my footplate ride on the DUKE in appalling conditions yesterday 4-3-07. I will be posting the resulting video later today when I've edited it for YOUTUBE.
