7802 'Bradley Manor' barks out of Hampton Loade - 23/08/09

A request upload from user AceDoubleG. GWR 7800 Class 4-6-0 no.7802 'Bradley Manor' is seen departing Hampton Loade Station on the Severn Valley Railway, upholding the Manor Class's reputation for barking. This was actually the second attempt at departing as before two idiots tried to get on the train when we had already started to get going.

Sorry about the shakes

For more barking awesomeness try this one of her at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway in 2010, just head to 3:50 on the video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffm8nCmUvG4

Filmed on a Sony DCR-SR57E Camcorder

Enjoy

Manors are known for their bark indeed! as are many western engines. I must do a mainline behind 5043 this year! When I joined the Dinmore manor group, she was already passed her ticket so I could not experience a manor up washford bank. So that is one magical experience awaiting me for this year!

I managed to get a rather nice video of 4566 climbing eardington bank on my uploads

@gwr3845 always nice to have a bit of Manor thrash =D 5043 is also a very loud machine, especially when I got her out of Didcot back in October. Thanks for watching & commenting =)

Lovely capture of that Great Western bark. Hope you had a great Christmas. Wishing you a Happy New Year and keep up the good work for 2012. Barry

Indeed! Haven't sampled 6960 since its SVR days in the 90s

[letmadnessbegin]

@TimHall42 just hope she's all ready by then =)

@TimHall42 now that would sound fantastic, or better yet doubled up with 6960 Raveningham Hall =) Hoping to go there for their Winter Steam Festival. Thanks for watching & commenting Tim =)

Anyone going for 7828 on WSR between Xmas and New Year? Washford bank should give it chance to clear its throat!

@duckfan0000 thanks mate =) The Manors sure do have a lovely bark. As nice as it would be I doubt they would put her back on the mainline. The Severn Valley Railway don't seem to put their engines on the mainline anymore, there used to be quite a few in the 80s & 90s.

@bluecomet390 thanks mate =) Afraid not, those are British Rail Mk1s which are of steel construction.
