The best thing I've heard in quite a while. Turn it up, because it takes a while coming. Shooting stills. This camera just plonked on the wall. The guy in the cab of the 47 had his feet up reading the paper...

  • Just stumbled across this - superb! Thanks or sharing. Mike

  • @JimTLonW6 Not just Castles. On her centenary run over the Devon banks, 4-4-0 City of Truro recorded an incredible 1100 drawbar hp on Daignton bank. Even the crew were amazed at her power. Her safety valves were feathering at the summit!!

  • @hiyadroogs Charles Collett will be proud of his engine its a credit to all the guys at Tyseley for geting 5043 back in steam and guys on the footplate that day shes a very impressive fast loco

  • @beefv8 On the last mile up to Ais Gill summit, the driver was so confident in the boiler, that he gave her 50% cut off! Over the final mile, the Castle was banging out over 2030 drawbar horsepower!! Surely a record for the class, & fully equal to the all out drawbar hp of a 47/57 diesel! Incredible power from a small boilered 4-6-0.

  • Amazing how well Castles perform on these former LMSR fell lines; no wonder the LMS wanted to buy some!

  • Great sound on this clip. Well done!

    

  • Pride of Swindon - yes! and credit to the guys on the engine, thank you for showing.

  • long live the GWR she was flying up there you can't beat a castle geting worked hard really gd video mate i like it a lot :)
