4953 on the Shakespeare Express

A run on the Shakespeare Express for recently restored 4953 "Pitchford Hall". The evening run (shown first) was a complete contrast to that of lunchtime as 4953 "Pitchford Hall", perhaps anxious to avoid a wait at Hatton Junction, makes stately progress on the middle stages of Wilmcote Bank. Plenty of time to make friends with a few passengers, exchange pleasantries with the stewards and have a good look at this lovely machine. Earlier in the day she had stormed the mainline section, and we see her charging through Lapworth Station!

The 1st shot of 4953 is a favourite shot of a Hall! The 2nd shot is just great!

Its videos like these that don't get the attention they deserve. Brilliant stuff on the fast shot. Timing of the pan was excellent. *****
