Great clips there Jeff! I do like that brief whistle right at the end, a proper 'hello, sorry, I'm in a tearing rush and can't hang around' kind of whistle. What a great locomotive the Earl is. Thanks for filming and sharing! Tim
Hi Jeff, great video, as you said, loads of people never realized it really was a flyer. I felt like the cat that got the cream on Thursday with Clan Line so I know how you feel tonight. Elated eh ! Liked. Mike
Should have been 4079 - the original loco!!! Wonder if we can get her back... Actually, what is the condition of 4073's tender? For the sake of authenticity, that tender could have been put on the back of 5043 to give something of the original appearance!
Only one thing spoiled this glorious footage: the Hawksworth tender. They could have borrowed Pendennis's example for the truly authentic late '20s' look!

Nice !, loved the Gronk at the beginning, wondered if they put the black stuff in the fuel tank ?,
Superb action video.

4079 should steam roughly in the autumn
2:40 pause & look at the buffers
Every mainline should run a steam service at least once a year
Don't keep egging me on. I've got enough on my plate.
dont tell me, you had your chips.
No, Dave, the brewery closed down. No more guinness.
08 what?
British Rail Class 08 0-6-0 DE 08022 Lion
Don't rub salt in the wound, it's unsavoury.
'...with a rest period in between at Drayton Green... ' Maybe "Dawdling" Drayton Green?
I knew that timetable was a bit fishy.
