Steam. Tornado 60163 meets Lord Nelson 850 @ Ropley MHR

Filmed at Ropley station on the Mid Hants Railway (MHR) during the Steam Gala in March 2010. The MHR line is sometimes called The Hampshire Alps and also the Watercress Line.

60163 Tornado is a main-line steam locomotive built in Darlington, England, the first such locomotive built in the United Kingdom since Evening Star, the last steam locomotive built by British Railways, in 1960. Designed to meet modern safety and certification standards, Tornado runs on the UK rail network and on mainline-connected heritage railways. The locomotive is named after the Panavia Tornado military jet.

I was there that weekend, my camera packed up after I drove from Highgate in North London! I could not believe how cold it was, my fingers were trying to get my cam working but I just gave up! Went for rides behind loco's and imagined filming!

Brilliant clips, thanks for filming it.5 stars in old money!

@FonteDeiMarmi Always bring a spare battery! I regularly forget the spare battery and live to regret it.

Or did the whole camera go wrong?

@KINGANDCASTLE Your right first time, battery was dead, but I suspect the minus 3 deg temp may have played havov, it's been alright since. Good advice-always have a spare battery!-Tony.

@FonteDeiMarmi I should have followed my own advice. My battery went flat yesterday (Friday).
