Nice to see the station pilot getting "stuck in" on the start. Q in that final shot was that a G6 ?.

If you mean the loco at 3:19 - that's a SE&CR H Class 0-4-4T - number is readable, it's No.1544.

these guys must have used top equipment.the quality is superb.Also they timed things .I love the american and continental locos .But the quality of image no way matches these images.Love to see a Chapelon or baldwin filmed to this degree of perfection.God bless england and Ithink we have given more than taken..English the language to unite the world .as did steam
