A grotty SpamCan. Just as I remember them - nice to see an "authentic" liveried loco!

[@IowaTrainGay]

Love that Manston was left in a dirty state after restoration. Love it. And that Devon Belle Observation car always looks amazing! 😍😍

@bobingram6912 Thanks very much, Bob! Strangely, this was one of the most frustrating days I've had behind the camera for months. Very glad to see the weathered look being kept and embraced.

Not the cleanest B0B class but always a joy to see a working engine.

[@robertbester]

Very good video. Thank you.

@@robertbester Glad you enjoyed it

@@TheSouthernerYTChannel It is the only way now. Can never afford to travel anywhere. Sorry.

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

I fully appreciate that. The long distance trips are becoming much more of a luxury these days, and one that I can ill afford. Hence a lot of the recent videos have been localised to the south coast.

Very noble

[@philipbradshaw4050]

Super. Would have paid good money to travel in the brake van. Missed a chance there.

[@GADMonty]

It was a special turn for freight guards exams so unfortunately it would not of been possible. Though normally van rides are available during the winter warm up events.

[@SimonTog]

Good video of the freight steam :)

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Thank you

[@Trainguy_spotter]

Why was it freight demonstating

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

@@Trainguy_spotter As in the description, "The purpose of the working would be for guard training on the freight set, therefore ensuring enough volunteers remain actively signed off in order for the freight set to make public appearances at future events"

Excellent loco 😊 what a brilliant idea to keep one in work-stained condition, truly nostalgic 👍👍👍
