I saw her at 16A Nottingham shed in in 1962- 1963 in a siding, un-coaled, dead and really worse for wear. I was 8 years old. It's so good to see her like this. 👍
@rogersharpe2490 you're right Roger. Even though i was very young, i can remember Hong Kong and Jellicoe at Nottingham shed. I can still visualise Hong Kong on the turntable inside the shed very clean and green for 1962. Somaliland was around also and took us to Trent Station on a local Nottingham to Derby service. My dad and my younger brother and myself used to watch all the express services coming and going not far from Redhill Tunnel.
@ They were good days Nigel . I saw 45611 Hong Kong as well , and because of that I bought a lovely Bachmann 00 guage model to keep as a static display.
@rogersharpe2490 Nice one Roger. The lovely condition that they kept her in can only mean that she was a very special locomotive. I'm chuffed that someone else obviously thinks so as well.
These were rare when I was a train spotter in the early 1960’s. Most Express trains were hauled by Jubilant or Coronation Class locomotives. A very unusual curved blinker, as were the German blinkers on ex L.N.E.R. locomotives such as Oscar Wilde. Thanks for your video. 👍🏻🏴

At the backend of the fifties , Nottingham 16A had two or three Scot’s , and usually six Jubilee’s that were my favourite locomotives.

Really nice shot this.. well done!
You were lucky with the trains almost trying to obscure the loco!

I changed tube trains at Victoria yesterday, if only I’d known about this.
Extension to boiler ticket expires this year. So what the future plans for the engine is l don't know.
That music at the end - yeah, no. 👎
