Remember travelling behind no 7, those engines are extremely powerful for their size, and beautifully kept as can be seen here. Very impressive operation. Also highly recommend the VoR in detail book - just got it, and it's excellent.
Lovely look at the locomotives, I watch this while working on my Coleg courses and it's super relaxing to listen to + interesting to watch whenever I take a break to look! The sheer size and power of these beasts are incredible, I see them every day from my windows but rarely having this close of a look.
Incredible attention to detail. No wonder the engines perform so beautifully. I remember when I first saw the VoR locos in the early and mid 1960s when all they had was a general oil around before their next turn of duty and perhaps a quick rub over with an oily rag. The shed master told me that no-one ever went underneath the engines.
Really enjoyed watching this video, always interested to see how other railways do their operations. I hope to visit the railway in mid to late June; it will be the first time I have been to the railway since 1999/2000 and I am looking forward to it.
Great production ... but I so wish videos like this showed the safety checks before lighting the fire, especially checking the water level in the boiler.
Love the way these engines are kept well clean. the brass on the footplate is very shiny! top work!

What a real joy to watch! Thank you!

Fantastic video. Beautifully filmed.

Fantastic and imersive video, the poor fireman never got a minutes pause throughout their journey.
Interesting.

I'm impressed with the care and maintenance of the yards and locomotives, 👍
