Great Video, 5 Stars! I saw her at Tring.

yes because during the winter months the steam engines cant do all the work. so the disels provide all the steam heating for dining coach and heating on the train
-
on the mainline!???
-
also to provide steam heating in the coaches during the winter months

whoops! turning the camera off saves battery, but it loses parts of awesome footage

That's what they said with 46115 but that blew a cylinder cover at Eccles on the Cotton mill Express!

On this occasion the 47 on the back was used to get the train from Birmingham to Crewe to pick up 6201 and then stayed on the back to provide Electric Train Heat and to help in the positioning moves between Kensington Olympia, Clapham and Euston, which required a lot of reverse running.
No need for 'insurance' we had an excellent engine on the front in 6201!!!!

It certainly was! It doesn't come down here very often at all so when I saw this on UKSteam- I thought it was worth the treck!
