It´s amazing how steep the climb looks, perhaps that´s due to the lens but a lovely video none the less.

Brings it all back. In the 60s a friend and I used to stay with my Granny in Moffat, not far from Beattock, which then had a fleet of Stanier and Fairbairn 2-6-4Ts to bank heavy trains up to the summit. Sometimes the drivers would allow us into the cab for the entire trip up and back. Once, a driver jammed the reguator open with a bit of coal, and then did his football pools. Only now can this dangerous story be told!

Thank you very much - I had to get up at 4.00 in the morning to see this, and I'm now very glad I did.
