A few years ago I never thought that I'd see another Grange... Yet here we and there was even a shot of a Grange dopuble heading a Saint...! Thank you for uploading this video. 🙂
That's a wonderful parade of beautiful locomotives, and congrats to all involved with Betton Grange. At 9.54 there is a creature (rabbit?) running along the rail towards the train, probably had in mind trying to derail it, but had a change of heart!
Beautiful engine and a credit to all who helped build it. Also, whoever set the valves nw what he was doing. The exhaust beats are perfect - incidentally, can anyone explain why the st of the 4 puffs always sounds a little louder ? It's something I've long wondered about.
I'm guessing the "st" typo is intended to be "first"? If so, I _think_ it's where the front halves of the cylinders on most of our British engines (except e.g. the L&SW T3, or S&D 7Fs) don't include any protrusion of the piston rod, so the steam space is fractionally bigger, so there's _slightly_ more steam to escape on two consecutive beats from them than the other two? Listening to engines from mainland Europe where there's more often a housing foreward of the cylinder for the piston rod to continue all the way through, I find it mich harder to distinguish any two beats from the rest, so that's my theory.

It took 26 years to build Betton Grange, totally worth the wait

Excellent video. Lovely variety of locos and it's great to see a video of Betton Grange working. Many thanks.
Fantastic to watch. Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
6880, wow it looks absolutely beautiful. The steam festival gala looked super impressive. Fully enjoyable to watch :-)
Absolutely beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderfull to see, cheers .
Great film .

Great video :)
Nice video, like.
Excellent loco...full credit to the builders.....BUT why use very poorly constructed nameplates?????????
Built at Llangollen, and I think they went into receivership, thanks to COVID lockdowns.
