Thanks very much, the black 5 is a great go anywhere, do anything workhorse and its great that so many have been preserved for us to enjoy
That's what they were designed for! To turn up and get the job done and look good doing it!
Very nice Austin cheers Steve
Thanks Steve, one of the best footplate crews on this trip doing what they do best
Another fantastic video Austin, always love the sound of a black five hard at work. Cheers Jake.
Good work! Thanks for sharing it!
Another lovely video Austin, thoroughly enjoyed it :D You really can't beat the sound of a Black 5 :D
Si 5*'s
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Very good. 45231 is one of my favourites.
Just seen, enjoyed that, thank you. The tight left hand curve near top of Beasdale always reduces pace.
Thank you for sharing this with us. This crew were on the ball this trip and I don't think she had much in reserve.
Thanks very much, yes it was a top crew of driver Paul Kane and fireman Frank Santrian. Sadly Paul Kane collapsed whilst firing 6233 in 2010
Thanks very much Si, I agree with you about the Black 5's, great performers and nice and noisy!
Thanks very much, I'll have a look for your video.
You're right, the sound of a Black 5 working hard is hard to beat. You definitely should ride on this train, well worth the journey.
Thanks, one of mine too after those runs!
The intrepid videographer leys nothing stand in his way as you know Bob!! I have this great image of you sitting in front of the laptop now, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks, I enjoy on train stuff too but don't do enough of it really
A few slaps in the face, water splashing back at you and you keep going through it all Austin, producing another excellent video that I've been sat in front of the Laptop with headphones turned up loud and enjoying every single minute of it...5* Bob
Beasdale Bank? What Beasdale Bank? 😄
Exactly! If you haven't already seen it, this is well worth a look. Same crew as on my video with Paul Kane driving and Frank Santrian firing, both sadly no longer with us.
