October 2024 Plain Line Pattern Recognition (PLPR) train at Poole & Hamworthy - 21/10/2024
To misquote Benjamin Franklin, “nothing is certain except death, taxes and Class 79/9’s on the monthly Plain Line Pattern Recognition (PLPR) train” which paid another visit to Dorset this evening, once again top and tailed by GBRf’s No. 73965 'Des O'Brien' and No. 73962 'Dick Mabbutt'. I saw the train reporting as 1Q51 1115 Derby R.T.C. (Network Rail) to Eastleigh East Yard via Weymouth passing through Poole on the outward run and at Hamworthy on the return leg - 21/10/2024

LMS 4-6-2 Princess Royal Class No. 46203 'Princess Margaret Rose' on the mainline in the mid-1990's

A few months ago, I was asked if I had any video of LMS 4-6-2 Princess Royal Class No. 6201 'Princess Elizabeth'.

It was an era of my wobbly camerawo...

Seen this train at Didcot parkway station today
Great video, what did the black plate on the pullman power car say please
@@RailPhotoAnthology Thank you - the power car is named “LOCH EIL” ☺️
@@therailwaydog Thank-you
Thanks for posting this, a majestic locomotive - hope she returns to steam one day.
Beautiful loco 😜? Will she ever make a comeback on the mainline ?or otherwise operate on heritage lines?
Fantastic footage, thanks !!!!
Thank you!
Exellent😊
Nice set of video clips 👍🏻👍🏻
ultra sonic I did not know 37's went that fast
😂😂😂
Excellent video, thanks
Well done for capturing both the inwards and outwards workings. Getting a bit blasé about seeing maroon 69009, so gave this one a miss.
@@peterkazmierczak7273 thank you - I’m always thinking these drags won’t last forever, so should catch them while I can. But agreed, getting a bit tired of 69009 😂😂
Great capture of the 37s i saw them at Weymouth aswell i spoke to you about it
@@Trainguy_spotter thank you - good to chat! Pity about the weather!
Im pretty sure i was on the cushions on that trip. My kids bought me a ticket for my 50th birthday (4days later). If it is that trip, the Duke slipped to a stand exiting the Whipshire tunnel. Lost 1 hour by the time we got to Blackburn for water.
Thank you so much for posting this. That film, and the noise, at Ais Gill is just superb. This is what BR should have been building in the 1950s, instead of the Britannias, much as I like them.
@@DerekWalsh-l4i thank you! I remember the day fondly. Hopefully will upload more archive steam video soon!
I agree but 1was down to Costs apparently it sure got some power
Well Captured 👍🏻
@@jamiesmithgoingloco thanks Jamie ☺️
Glad we gave you a toot now. Good catch.
