Happy days A lot more comfort than our modern units although they had a lot of wheel flats

I heard they did not arrive in Scarborough until late because of the unit failure blocking the platform needed for the Black 5. Not heard about the nameplate fitting so I have no idea what thats about either

Thank you They are a favourite of mine too, to me they have a good look and good sound. Nice you got to Shildon to see theirs close up

She has been refitted to bring her up to modern safety standards and had new boilers fitted, new replacement parts, but most of the ship is original. A bit like our Flying Scotsman how much of that is original after all the years n service

@@cedarcam I’m actually ex crew :), actually today very little beyond the engine, some frames and deck equipment like her windlass, vents, telegraphs, steering equipment etc is original, the millennium rebuild pretty much saw most of her completely renewed, she is probably about 10% original including the engine, these days. But that’s in the nature of ships, nothing lasts forever especially in the harsh maritime environment. Almost time to think about renewing her again given that the rebuild itself was now 24 years ago, but she is in better shape now than she was at that time.

@@stephenwilson5043 Thanks for the info. Yes the rebuild was a long time ago, time flies. I have been a member of PSPS since our first cruise in 1986 so know each year in dry dock hull plating has been renewed paddle wheels and all deck planking. Much more than I mentioned in my first reply. Also the stairs down below were facing the opposite way which I remember being part of the rebuild. The salty sea causing deterioration has to be kept on top of, we don't want to loose her.

@@cedarcam I think she will outlast me at least :) as long as the reulations dont stop her , she is in very good hands with Paul. I think :)

@@stephenwilson5043 Yes I think regulations are her biggest threat at the moment, she is well cared for and has many supporters.

Yea I really like these locos This on is very well turned out. They were not seen like that very often at the end of steam never got cleaned in those days.

I remember Holbeck full of them and at work had at least a couple of cab rides on freight trains One was a 46 in the back cab with a heavy train of steel. They were great locos don't remember any failing on me on my trips out. There are a few left but this is the only one on the main.

Yes I remember those days and with this and the class 40 took video under the roof looking out as I used to watch them from there and hear the loud sounding Right Away bell on the signal

Thanks Les. I did not get to follow their progress That was a lot to loose. Yea I really like to see the LMS locos on S&C trains Black 5 over Tangmere for me

Yes things worked out good today No blocked view like last time with Tangmere and a bonus freight, I did not know that was due. The 331 really could of messed things up, as it turned out it made a good contrast to the old and new.

Thank you

It sure is Pappy I don't know how steep I will see if I can find out, the track on the left goes down very steep as well.

Thanks Dave. The bad luck was the decorated climate change train arriving just as the steam loco started reversing back through the station Luckily it had to stop at the far end so a quick dash there and we were in time to see it reverse from there. After that Appleby was great, first time in years I have seen steam passing at speed around 60mph there Have a good day

@@cedarcam 👍😊

So much going on this weekend Someone at Appleby said there were 11 charters out around the country as well as things like Barrow Hill to go to Looks like you had a great day there.

Yes really good, it has been a long wait but looking at the restoration it has been finished beautifully.

Thanks axl. Yea we gambled on staying on that platform cos they had to go through the middle road a car would of just worked out, luckily they did not give her a green to run right through and let the passenger go first so all was not lost and it was the climate set so better than just a dull normal livery one. It really is a steep gradient there, I will have to see if there's a post showing it. The sleepers are for staff, on those long tours passengers get hotels booked.

@@cedarcam I have never seen or heard of anywhere you can film that gradient down to the Appleby/Haltwhistle line half way up a path or anything like that.

@@axldelticwalton1238 Very remote out there If anyone knows I think Nigel 747 will He gets out in the hills a lot

Nice

Fresh out of the paint shop They did a lovely job.

@@cedarcam Indeed, where was it going to and from?

@@EM-yk1dw It came from Bristol Temple Meads to York and back

Thank you. We do not have much jointed track now, I miss that

Thank You. She still sails around our coast today

Thank you

Still going strong after so long Phil. She is out the next two days as well

I do like that BR blue too. Done with real paint. Better than the vinyl used today

Yea I know Yorkshire English coming through. wooduv would of would have.

I don't like the heat Phil and hardly slept the last couple of nights so was feeling tired and had a headache. If I had stayed I would of had an hour to wait for a bus from town and not been home until around 8:30 instead of 6:30. Still had a good day out though, better than staying home. Hopefully there will not be a steam ban with a few steam charters coming up.

@@cedarcam definitely better than staying at home! The heat? I work outside all day in it! It can get abit too much, but better than working in the rain!!

@@philclarke3203 Can't say I liked being out in cold rain all day either. Never happy am I LOL

Thank you. She still sails around our coast today

Yea but a whole lot louder Bet they could her it a few miles away

I don't know. It was restored at Barrow Hill by a group, a reply in the comments says that's them standing by the loco, so could be one of them or jointly owned. The stock used is from LSL at Crewe and that's where the loco has been based for the test runs to Chester.

It sure is Dave. First time I saw it I was amazed at the size of the cranks and how smooth it started to turn. A lot different to a locomotive starting which often need some persuasion.

@cedarcam one thing water is a more fluid and even medium to start in than steel wheels on steel rails

@@ccrx6700 That's true Dave. When moving away you can see the paddle wheels are turning fast and she is hardly moving. The engines that fascinate me are the 2 cylinder capstan and winch ones fore and aft. The way they can start on load in any position and don't have heavy flywheels. They have a very low gear ration to the capstan which must be how they can do that

@@cedarcam 👍😊

Thank you. That would of been one of it's regular workings back then. It will be good if they do a charter one day. I remember going to Reading a couple of times one was a class 31.

@cedarcam thank you for your reply. Actually no. They were always 47's. So this was very unusual. We thought it might be a York or Holbeck loco, so we're somewhat disappointed when 45118 rocked up, having seen it many times at St Pancras.

@@iainmaturin8460 OK Thanks for that info. It was probably a 47 hauled I got then and for sure a 31. I remember that because I went as far as Reading and on my return the same 31 appeared running late. Always wished I had gone through with it, anyway it did not make it back it caught fire and was taken off at Derby. I have some photos of it. I thought there was a lot of smoke and leaned out of a window to see fire under the trailing bogie, we were not far off Derby and I thought it would be better we made it there than stopping the train. It was dealt with using fire extinguishers so not serious enough for fire brigade attendance.

Thank you

Happy days looking back compared to how it is today a lot has changed.

Not Nazi salutes but ‘flailing’. It’s popular among diesel bashers and was big in the ‘80s.

Back in the 80's this strange thing of waving arms out of moving trains became a common practice. I never understood it myself and only recently from a comment posted on another of my videos found out it orginated on the Western Region of British Railways on trains hauled by their class 52 Western diesel hydraulics which were based on German principles hence the Nazi looking salutes.

Sure does The finish is excellent, ex works standard by Barrow Hill

The class 40 has always been my favourite, they just look right to me, neatly finished off with no grilles except the radiator and my favourite type with the doors and headcode discs. I was pleased to see a peak on my train they performed well and knocked the spots off the lumbering giant 40. The 37 I agree with you they look untidy, the Baby Deltic 40 and Deltic all had a smooth body side, got to say the 37 has outlasted them all so it has got that going for it.

Thank you These heavy locomotives were built to haul express passenger and heavy freight in 1960's. We have some more preserved but only this one can run on our main lines.

Interesting info. I have no idea about that working Someone may have kept a record of these locos movements with a bit of luck.

@@cedarcam Brownhills naphthalene tanks. backed in behind the station there with the loco tied down and left in the siding. quick race over to catch a ride home so I would guess that the 45 would be standing in for a 47 working a return trip, looking at my few remaining notes, I lost a whole lot in 86 there was even a 46 on one run I did.

@@jamesedwards7241 I remember the naphthalene tank trains. The variety of freight was interesting in those days and good to see occasional rarities like the 46 you got on one. Thanks for the info.

Yes they did a lovely paint job and under the roof the sound was great. I stayed under the roof rather than getting a head on view of the departure for the great sound. The shed departing was a nice bonus as well as the class 70 driver

Aww that's a sham. Better luck next time.

They really have Denis The ex works look of the paint and she made easy work of the run, 17 early into Birmingham after climbing the Licky

They just need to get on with doing up 45060, (D100 Sherwood Forester) looking negected now

@@rs1884 It always disappointing to see a loco preserved then get neglected Hopefully work will begin before it's too late

It had work to reapply split codes and back to green, then decided to paint it BR blue however the background colour to its nameplates and crest is still in green.

@@rs1884 It would be nice to see in green with maroon stock I do like this one in blue though and that's how I remember them.

I always liked to see a peak come into the station with a train I was going on. Same for me they were one of the first locos I saw from the lineside sitting on the embankment just South of Dore and Totley shooting out of Bradway tunnel heading into Sheffield. This one brought back memories of my days out to Newcastle, their sound filling the station under the big roof and I wanted to capture that rather than a head on view from the platform end.

These will be familiar locomotives to you :) Great to see this one out on the main after many years

It took me back as well Times I went to Newcastle and Sheffield. Like my recent class 40 video I wanted to stand under the big roof where the sound was all around watching for the signal and loud sounding, no longer there, Right Away bell to ring then with a roar of power away into the distance Happy days. Yes the Western lost her engine sadly but a new one is better than a museum piece

Railcam UK has a lot of up to date live info on where trains are running and a chat room where people give out good info. You can sign in there and get limited info. To look up what charter trains are running I look on Railway Herald Railtours page. Sometimes while out I meet people who tell me about things like this train.

There are several. JG.

I have not done it myself apart from once on a steam locomotive cylinder cover out of curiosity but seen many people do that on diesel locomotives, just why I do not know, check the engine is running well, check the paint finish, who knows?

It’s like meeting an old friend from their youth

They’re called trainbotters

They were the lads who worked on it at BH maybe the strip between the grilles were rattling ?

@@carlcox4911 Thanks for clearing that up. I did not notice anything to fault but having worked on it those guys will know what to look for, it did look as if he was pressing on the strip

It was Not too hot and no rain for a change. The stock should be all the blue grey they own like the end coach was but that was out on another train. They have another train they use all the same colour and that looked good on the test train they ran. I missed getting out to see that though. looks like they just got out what was in the yard that day.

Thank you Phillip. I have nothing planned yet but will check what's going on for my next trip out.

Thank you. I am pleased you see your old chums. I did not know them but thought it would be good to capture that moment. I remember the last days of the Peaks were sad times for many who like me rode on their trains. Happy days

@cedarcam Cheers we all had nick names 👍

@@burtonupontrentrailwaystod8589 Yea I knew a lot had nick names. Just thinking I bet that's something that went as well. Don't see big groups going out together anymore.

Looked like a great day and good weather. Looking forward to it hitting the Citadel. Shame not a Thames Clyde!

@@LeslieGilpinRailways It was quite warm and no rain for a change. I am sure she will be up there before long, with a retro Thames Clyde headboard even better. Nothing at all on this one which I thought they may of had being the first time out
