Great video! Back in late 1971 I bought some shares in this engine- I have a letter somewhere from Paul Burns. I also bought shares in 813 a year earlier- two stalwarts of the SVR. I hope the engine does not stay retired for too long but nearly fifty odd years on from arrival and over fifty from investing in helping save the engine, you wonder where the time has gone!
Goodbye, 2857. You have served the Valley well at galas and on ghost trains. Now it is time for you to rest. Hope to see you again soon. Excellently filmed and edited, as always. Cheers and keep up the great work - Alex.
Great stuff and out so quickly, thank you so much, i travelled behind her Sunday and Monday, close to the loco on return to Bridgnorth on Monday, driven how they should be, sparks flying, chimney roaring, I've not seen the like on the Valley for years, (please no explanations re carbon emissions or fuel costs), for it's last hurrah for a long time it was fabulous, best wishes and happy new year to everyone, Pete
Nicely filmed sequences, especially '2857' passing in half-light with sparks and cosy carriage lighting, and finale framed by bridge. Hippy New Year. TFP
Wonderful , thank you. It is like a scene from another world , a beautiful land that time forget but in reality a place destroyed by progress . So sad.
Brilliant video Liam and Phil. Great selection of locations. Great shots of this much loved loco. It’s a shame to hear of its with Drawl. Hope you have a great new year. Kind regards C&A
Another that will most likely end up stored in the shed at Kidderminster until a space opens up in the works as Highley is full and I think there's other stuff to go in before 2857.
its so sad to see these beautiful old engines put out to pasture - a bygone age - hopefully in the future we will see this old girl back in steem - thanks for sharing this with us much appreciated x
What happens when the boiler ticket expires? This train looks still new and it's been overhauled in 2011 which isnt that long ago. Probably the boiler has no issues at all, so is there a chance that it just gets inspected and can run again next year? Or should it get a completely new boiler
While it did return to service in 2011 a boiler is maxed to no more than 10 years of service before it needs a complete retube and other work. However depending on if it's in perfect condition it can get either an extra year bringing it to 11 or a few extra months. 2857 was already on an extension to the ticket and that extension has now expired so it cant run again until it's been completely overhauled.
I’ve only ever seen 2857 twice, both times on the same day during the late Queens jubilee celebrations. Although not the best looking loco I will very much miss her
11 years are up sadly. The engine had got an extension to it's boiler ticket and sadly this has now expired, gonna be a long time till we see her running again.
Most likely end up stored in Kidderminster shed as the engine house is full & as there's other stuff in the works presently & most likely due to go in before 2857 it could be a very very long time till we see the 2800 running again.
A year ago, it seemed to me that this noble and majestic sound had nothing to compare with. Now I compare it to the disgusting and vile sound of a russian cruise missile and Iranian drone, flying over my head in Kyiv and exploding a few hundred meters away, accidentally leaving me alive. Surely someone who remembers can compare it to the sound of Nazi FAU 1 and FAU 2 flying over London. God bless locomotive brigade led by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Sunak for standing with Ukraine.
That last shot had everything... the conditions, the loud exhaust beat, the sparks coming down just after the loco passed. Brilliant.

Fabulous opening shot. Pure filming genius. Thanks so much for your efforts. NZ
Lovely images with trains and awesome places! Thumbs Up
Happy New Year
Andrew
Sounding great especially with 10 on the hook. Will be sadly missed.

Should have said Sunday for the "close to the loco" part, thanks again for the great video work, Pete (the old man 😂)
That has to be my favourite locomotive ever I even have a model of it in BR black
2857 does need a break, I agree. I'm sure she'll strut her stuff again, one day.

Super pics. Hope she's back soon.
As she goes, she goes for her last duty, she vanishes into thin layer of smoke , a true black beauty she is.

Nice video of 2857 very nice camera work as usual bye for now Philip
NICE FILMING!!
Wonderful video, big thumbs up :)
Great last shot 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃
I hope it returns real unique engine
Fantastic video and sound nailed it.
Epic shots of a fine machine. Hopefully the restoration isn’t too painful and before long it’ll be back on the rails in a few years.
Most likely end up stored in the shed at Kidderminster out of the public gaze until a space opens up at Bridgnorth.
Not only that it’s also the final call of duty for 1501 as well
Indeed. Two very useful, right sized and frequently used locos for the railway.

Do u think it will run again

Sad she's getting retired

Guess this one will end up in the dead line like their nice Black 5 and others for a long long time.........

You didn't mention in which country this train is🚆 moving.
SVR is in England.
Apologies Dipak. Any video on this channel will be solely shot in Great Britain.
