I was on that trip and Clan Line was absolutely flying through Winchfield. The return trip was equally as good, I've never been been through Templecombe as fast! I've travelled behind Clan Line on many occasions and this trip was one of the very best for performance. The late John Farrow would have been impressed. The highlight of the day though was his memorial service in Sherborne Abbey, not even a sparking performance by Clan Line could upstage that. A wonderful and memorable day.
@@johnjephcote7636 I think some tours have a diesel on the back to drag the whole consist on a turning manoeuvre, which certainly wasn't needed this time. Sometimes you can hear the diesel giving a loco a helpful shove. I was on one of the Steam Dreams sunset trips recently and at times all I could hear was the sound of the diesel chugging away!
Another superb video Hils. I swear I could almost smell the smell. And the sound: oft unremarked but crisp and clear. Why do 3-cylinder locos always seem to have a syncopated exhaust beat?

It sounds as though the whole day was a truly fitting tribute for a well loved and well respected gentleman. Hilary

Great Video and no diesel assist !
Left the diesel behind especially for you! 😊
I wasn't aware the diesel ever did assist, other than as a generator.
