The Britannia Banker storms the Lickey Incline! 29/05/10. Lizzie and 9600!!

Due to a fault with Oliver Cromwell, Princess Elizabeth replaced it on the railtour. Firstly, we see the Banker 9600 run light engine down the Lickey Incline to Bromsgrove. Then the Princess (with 9600 on the rear) climbs the 1 in 37 Lickey Incline, pasted on the way by a Class 170 and then a shed brings a freight down the incline.

This is the first time I have used a mono-pod and some of the pictures are shaky or not level. Practice makes perfect!

Thanks to AY76 and KBrailvids for the company on the day, please watch their vids as well.

WOW indeed, awesome video, what a wonderful sight to see the steamers really thundering n working hard up the incline! Bet the smell of the steam was just wonderful & great timing with the 66 too :D

@crazyracer12 ace!

@sierraxr4icosie Funny, that. Because Gordon's Hill was based off the Lickey Incline.

Very good video, I'm tempted to say with all that black smoke it must have been the pannier that was doing all the work! It is often surprising just what these smaller locomotives can do.

That reminds me of Thomas and Gordon. The first thomas the tank episode.

@paaltje91 Thanks very much for your comment, it would be a long trip all the way from Holland. I'm glad you liked the video.
