Enjoyed both your vids --some good upclose shots ---you did well to get some of them as it was very crowded .

[21C123]

Thanks. It was indeed very busy. The first shot in this video of 70013 was taken whilst kneeling down, through a fence and amongst people. Who can see someone's elbow in the shot and part of the fence.

I might add that the beavertail was one of a pair built in 1937 for the "Coronation" service between London and Edinburgh, one of the 3 LNER streamlined trains, and generally regarded as the hardest to work - non-stop 393 miles at high speed. The beavertails were modified in the 1950s as the original tails started to rot. They were being used on the West Highland line by then.

Highly professional job...made my day.

An excellent video, thanks a lot for presenting it. You did a good job to make the world familiar with British trains of ancient times.

Am I right, wasn't there Miss Marple sitting in one of those carriages?

The coach at 2.40 is an observaton saloon commonly known as the Beavertail Saloon.
