LNER A1 Tornado, was in charge of HF Railtours "Caledonian Tornado", steam hauled throughout from Crewe-Manchester-Preston-Carlisle-Glasgow-Preston-Crewe.
The opening clip is near Bay Horse, Forton.
We then move on to Greenholme, just south of Scout Green, where the weather conditions had deteriorated somewhat, and commonsense suggested it could be worse further north. However, along with several other hardy souls, I ventured to Beattock where once again I found that you cannot hold a golfing umbrella and pan smoothly at the same time.
Enjoy.

  • Very nice video despite very bad weather. Thank you very much Mike.

    Philippe

  • @PhilbruProduction Merci de regarder Philippe. Apprécions toujours vos commentaires. Mike

  • Unrelated, Mike but I have a question?

    I'm hoping some might film 5043 going into Liverpool and back on Saturday.

    I know 46115 is doing it's thing over Shap Again(no pun intended) I'm just hoping that some great coverage of 5043 on this Vintage Trains Special happens.

  • @Mikelandscaper Hi Mike. I'm hoping to see 5043 at some stage, but the timings haven't appeared yet. The Scot has been out quite a bit this year, but it's a great performer.

    Mike

  • Great coverage Mike - good to see you again. Wasn't that drive home a nightmare? Surprising how clear the view on Beattock turned out given the attrocious conditions. Chris

  • @khankadet Thanks Chris. Hope you didn't get too wet, lol. It's surprising how well cameras can deal with poor lighting conditions, so long as they don't get wet.

    Good to see you again, and hope your better half enjoyed the day out. Looking forward to Lizzie up there in November -- full sun !!!

    Mike

see all

  • @Mikelandscaper You're quite right, there is a spot near the summit; in fact when locos have been looped I've manged to catch them again

    Sorry, but can't answer your question re Glasgow.

    Mike

  • @TheStephengthompson Cheers Steve. I thought it best not to try and zoom or anything at Greenholme given the conditions. The weather was actually far worse drving home, especially around Scout Green. Lets hope next time we meet the sun's out.

    regards Mike

  • @MorrisManDanceMan  Thanks for watching, pleased you enjoyed it. Mike
