LMS 5690 Leander on The Fellsman - 9 September 2009

LMS Jubilee Class, 5690 Leander is seen firstly at Carlisle bridge, bringing the empty Fellsman stock into Lancaster on Wednesday 9th September 2009.

We then see this magnificent machine waiting for path at Lancaster Castle station viewed from Meeting House Lane road bridge before departing for Preston.

Driver (Call me Flash) Gordon makes a spirited getaway from Lancaster and gets Leander's wheels slipping at the start of this latest Fellsman Tour.

Excellent video. Do like the Carlisle bridge clip. I was also at Lancaster stn to see Gordon with Leander with a slipping departure and you've got me on your video at 1:40 stood under the yellow sign. I'd just got there was too busy talking to the Guard and locomotive owner on Fellsman.

Thank you, Stuart. Unfortunately, I was in so much of a rush myself that morning I messed up a bit with the pan and zoom out at Carlisle bridge - Frank.

Very nice Frank someone always asked you the question when you are filming dont they

[TheDoodyman]

They seem to, Greg. It does have its up side though - two rather nice ladies came to talk to me today so I shouldn't complain - lol - Frank.

Brilliant video once again Frank, two different but equally impressive clips. Have you tried holding the camera in your hands..it might help people out...but then the chip fat might make you drop it and we can't have that can we !!!,.....:o)...Bob

[TheDoodyman]

Thanks, Mike. The Doodymissus told me to get rid of the old chip fat so I thought I'd put it to good use! lol - Frank.

Like the Lancaster departure Frank -- you've been oiling the rails again!; and in morning sun.

Thanks, Steve. And yet again people come up to talk when they can see it's a video - never mind - Frank.
