Magnificent locomotive. Second only to a Stanier Duchess.

[@trainsplanes]

Good stuff Phil.. Enjoyed watching your footage. Hopefully the wind direction treats us better next time 🙏👍

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Rob. Yes couldn't have been much worse.🙄

[@richardswiderski4985]

Nice video she looks nice in Blue shame they have to leave the drain docks on for so long they seem to do it a lot nowadays.😢

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Rick, very controversial, should they or not, it's ok if the winds in the right direction 😀

First time in 8 years for 60007 to be in that Br Express blue livery

[@philclarke3203]

I have a framed photo on the wall in front of me with SNG in the same livery at NYMR. One I bought so not sure of the year. PS, no need to delete your original comment , an easy mistake that I have done many times lol.

My favourite Loco from time on ELancs Railway.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Paul, certainly does

What are you doing for Easter? I'm asking because the Llangollen Railway will be hosting a steam engine run on the Easter Weekend.

[@philclarke3203]

Not sure yet Kelly, I saw steam is on this weekend, so a possibility

[@philclarke3203]

Maybe see you at Llan tomorrow? Not sure if we will make the 12.05,so might be the 13.00. Harry likes a lie in at the weekend lol.

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

@@philclarke3203 You tell Harry from me if he fails to get out of bed, I'll set my little sister 7754 on him, lol. Just kidding. I'll be there all day anyway, so I'm sure we'll chuff into each other somewhere along the line.😂

[@philclarke3203]

@@kellyashfordtrains2642 haha,told him. Hope so.

[@oscar35575]

What a shame we see this fantastic locomotive with a forefront of an absolute mess of weeds and overgrown grass. Why is it that this is so?

[@philclarke3203]

I completely agree. Trying to save money, but as a gardener, I know it will cost more in the long run. Sadly they can't see that far ahead.
