      As someone who grew up with these locomotives & saw,photographed & rode in trains hauled by them all over the country in my youth,it is refeshing to see someone young so enthusiastic about them. In my opinion they were man’s greatest invention,using the basics of nature,earth,fire,water & air.

    Hi, again, faraway Matilda--It's not "Thank you for watching," -- and being splashed by your enthusiasm and enjoyment...it's really us saying, "Thank you for going to the trouble of making this video for us on the other side of the world." (NZ)
    ....just noticing during your drive to Ribblehead,,, the stone walls,,where i grew up in Dunedin, there are miles and miles of drystone walls on land outside what is now the city... built by the early Scottish settlers who first arrived in 1848.

    My favorite Merchant Navy locomotives are 21C1 Channel Packet and 21C2 Union Castle which are the two prototypes that were built by Bulleid. Also my second favorite Merchant Navy locomotives are 35003 Royal Mail and 35004 Cunard White Star. My third favorite Merchant Navy locomotives are 35012 United States Lines, 21C14 Nederland Line, 35015 Rotterdam Lloyd, 21C20 Bibby Line, 35021 New Zealand Line, 35023 Holland Afrika Line, 35024 East Asiatic Company, 35026 Lamport and Holt Line and 35030 Elder Dempster Lines.

    35020 Bibby Line fractured its crank axle while approaching Crewkerne Station at speed which was trying to break Mallard’s speed record and it led to all of the Merchant Navy locomotives being withdrawn from service and being rebuilt with the air smoothed casings being removed.

    The CWR (Continuous Welded Rail) does make a good sound over distance, especially when hot, gives you a heads up of what's coming - unless one is trackside and extreme care must be taken Eg with light running Tampers etc. as they hardly make a sound (depending on wind direction, blind curves etc - one scared the hell out of me, years back, when I was look out, with limited room trackside, it snuck up on me around a blind curve).
