A welcome return to the north west for BR Standard Pacific no.70013 'Oliver Cromwell' with the first of this years 'North Wales Coast Expresses' operated by The Railway Touring Company. The train is seen on the outward journey at Whiston, Moore, Guilden Sutton and finally crossing The Roodee at Chester Racecourse on it's way to the principality.

  • Superb filming - real class!

  • Thanks for your much appreciated comments

  • i was on a black 5 5371 and we pulled 70013 and 14 on from carlisle to crewe i got 70013 back to carlisle we stoped 5 times for a blow-up ....70022 29 were good engings

  • Wish I'd been able to capture that run on film with 14 on. Strange isn't it how some engines were better steamers than others

  • Absolutely superb. 4 great shots of a fine engine working really well. Barry

  • Many thanks Barry, It's not very often you can get four decent shots and be back home for lunch!

see all

    It did go down well! But I was thinking 'all that lovely life giving rain' :-)

    Check out my vid of steam put to Elgar's Introduction and Allegro (extending on an idea by the famous Ken Russell). If you like it pass it on!
