Splendid shots. What a beautiful loco she is! Sir Nigel Gresley (a human) found the best possible shape for a high-speed locomotive; just look at a modern one at 2:15 - all of them modern ones seem to be descendents of the famous Class A4.
@@ncs8730 Thanks for commenting. The A4s were certainly ahead of their time and you can definitely see their influence in modern traction. Kind regards. Cameron
@@skydive7054 Thanks for commenting. 60007 has been outshopped in BR Blue livery, which depicts the class after the second world war, during which they lost their valences due to maintenance requirements. Hope this helps. Cameron
Seeing the train named for the apparent genius that was Sir Gresley happily pounding along seems somehow appropriate. I'm curious; is the diesel at the back actively assisting or is that providing power to the carriages (presumably carriage brakes) and there as a backup locomotive if 60007 has a problem? If it is actively assisting, then it's no discredit to 60007, it's nearly 90 years old after all...
@@deaks25 Thanks for your comment. The diesel is there primarily to provide electrical power to the coaches, as well as assist with shunting manoeuvres and to act as a backup locomotive if necessary. Hope this helps. Cameron
Great video as always Cameron. Kind regards, Jake.
Glad you enjoyed it Jake!
WOW what a wonderful compilation , lovely loco, thank you 👍

Thanks for commenting. An A4 certainly does draw the crowds. All the best.

@@SecondValveSteam It's interesting that, being inspired by the German locomotive, Sir Nigel created an even more efficient design!
Great capture. I caught the 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley at Welwyn North
Thanks for commenting. I hope ‘Gresley’ gave a good show through Welwyn. Kind regards.
@@SecondValveSteam It did, very packed though
Great video! I saw 60007 arriving at Kings Cross.
Thanks for commenting Henry. I bet 60007 made a fantastic sight at Kings Cross. Kind regards. Cameron
@@SecondValveSteam You're welcome! 60007 certainly did!
one thing i dont understand is why doesnt 60007 have wheel covers?
