When I was a trainspotting in 1940's/50s I hardly ever saw the blasting of steam from a departing locomotive and even then it was only for a few seconds. Such a waste of energy. Synically, someone once said it was done to spoil the lineside photographers view??.

The first one 7000 was a bloody mess both driver and fireman should be taken off the roster and retrained. the best double act the ELR ever had was Malcolm Frost and a good mate of mine Nigel Barns. I thought the ramp was going to kill the Castle. The 37 Tractor came up tidy and unfussed but the overall winner was the Jinty ( Sir Mighty Mouse ).

It was a driver experience, and they were having issues with the water, hence the fireman’s struggles. So please don’t make comments on things you don’t know the full context behind.

@@ELRTrainspotter On a bank like that the ELR driver would have been at the controls and also both driver and fireman are still in charge of the train and the safety of it and the two persons on footplate experience. So what part of the water issue did they have that caused the cylinder drain cocks to be fully open losing steam and power and the firebox to be grossly overcoaled taking away the full heat from the fire and also i might be wrong on this but the fireman looked like he had been messing about with the water injector valves, not an ideal time to be topping the boiler up when the loco is slipping and not far from stalling.

@ElmtreeLine So Mr Expert how long have you been driving for BR before you retired, so can you give me and all the viewers of this clip your take on of why it was beltching out all that black smoke from the chimney, why was is steam safety valves were not whispering and why he was injecting water in the boiler at that critical stage. Also why did the driver pull out of the platform a mile or so back knowing that the fire was not coaled light, not full steam pressure and boiler not at three quarters full.

Ex Longmoor Military Railway 'Foggia'. Then after rebuild to Gas Producer type allocated new number of 3883. It then spent 11 years at Maesteg in Wales. By the late 1960's it had lost the gas producer system. It is pictured with a standard chimney.
