The Mayflower - 17th September 2011

LNER A4 60019 Bittern (masquerading as 4492 Dominion of New Zealand) and GWR 5029 Nunney Castle on the return run from Plymouth to London. Nunney Castle was only on the Taunton -- Plymouth -- Taunton section. The video is taken on the lower part of Hemerdon Bank on the outskirts of Plymouth.
Nunney Castle cut back on the power just before reaching me, probably due to being too close behind a preceding service train.

Thanks for watching. Yes it was a shame Nunney shut off just as she approached me, but plenty of noise before that.

@robmasterman

Thanks Bob. Not sure if I like the mix of a castle and an A4. At least Nunney was making plenty of noise as usual. Keith

Yes Nunney did shut off as she approached me. It may have been a yellow signal ahead as a service train had gone up not long before. Thanks for your comments.

[tedgoater]

Good one, thank you, and I'm puzzled, seeing you're approx half way up the climb - was Nunney shut off after whistling? It sounded, and looked like it.
