If only they could talk, I'd want to know what they'd say to each other. 'Aye Eddie, Earl Bathurst tells me you've been feeling a bit blue lately, though I didn't realize he was being so literal!'
Great video. Really enjoyed it. I am old enough to remember these two locos (and many others) in a derelict state at Barry in the 70's. You would never have believed that this video would ever have been possible back then.... As Wobbler44 says "Truly inspiring"!
Really good video mate!! Truly inspiring, great quality and film work. I was at Didcot the same day to see the kings, I've uploaded some footage although obviously not as professional as your standards!
Considering how old this video is, I find it surprising that I haven't watched it yet, but it's great to see her actually in steam, considering I worked on her for the last few months of her restoration, would be down at the DRC every other Saturday helping out in anyway they wanted, just nice to see her actually running, can't wait to see her back in service very soon :D Andy
:D i just noticed... you were in my video, im in yours :D at 4:15 the young boy in the bright blue top and jeans sitting on the track with the video camera in my hand who then stands up :D Again great video and thanks for subbing! :)
@TransportManor thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it =D I'll be sure to take a look at your video, thanks for the friend request and video response btw =)
We need to get the three Kings together, active, in one place

@siobhan104 thanks mate =) it was great to see 6023 & 6024 together after so many years. Not sure why she hasn't got her shed plate yet
9:22 and 11:30 - things that you would have "thought no-way possible" in 1985! Many thanks.
Great video! Such a shame this won't be seen on the main line for a while yet.
"Father and son- reunited after many years apart.

@AN21files thank you mate =) yes, who would have though back then that these two giants of steam would ever be restored and running together =)
@churchward82c thanks Nigel =) Certainly is an incredible acheivement
Brilliant video & a glorious day as well.
King Edwards blue colors suit the locomotive.
Agreed 👍 Thanks for watching.

Marvellous!! Great video. Nice to see the locos in BR livery. Any reason why 6023 hasn't got a shed plate yet. Well filmed.
@SatNavDan thanks Dan =) Tis a shame indeed, but at least they have been together in steam =)
