Black 5 & 9F Wheel Slip at Ropley Stn, Mid Hants S&DJR Gala Autumn 2010 part 2

Viewed from the high ground above Ropley Stn, Black 5 No.45379 slips on the rails in light rain when departing north. Then Class 08 D3358 leaves the Yard to go to the aid of USA switcher No.30057 which has stalled on the climb into the Station with a suttle service from Alresford. The next trian to arrive is BR 9F 2-10-0 No.92212 shortly followed in the opposite direction by S&DJR 7F 2-8-0 before the 9F departs with multiple wheel-slips, which makes for great viewing, though I doubt the driver enjoys them.
