Absolutely fantastic captures there. This loco never disappoints and is undoubtedly the standout mainline performer. That barnstorming pass through Andover at the end sums it up - outstanding!

Thanks very much! She's a real credit to the MNLPS; always immaculate, always in fine fettle. That shot through Andover was a true testament to the class.

Brilliant shots and superb quality, many thanks for posting. It's great to see a Merchant Navy with correct disc headcode and headboard without the cumbersome box at the rear. Looks pretty fair on Honiton, always a problem to the original very heavy ACE. The last time I saw that train here was behind 35024 in original spamcan condition. This brings back great memories. Thanks again.

83mph in the final shot.... A Bullied Pacific just looks & sounds the business at speed. Can't wait to work one again later this year on the main line. Superb video 👍🏻

Enjoying watching this from Ilfracombe, sadly cut off from the rail network in 1970. We were lucky enough to travel here on holiday by diesel in 1969, but what a joy it must have been to travel here from Waterloo behind one of these locomotives.

The best sequence was the second to last approaching Upton Scudamore Summit, I was privileged to be on the footplate for that, I did give a wave. No sand used and no slipping jus the power of a Merchant Navy. The fireman had it on the red line all the way, you will notice the safety valves just feathering

I think we can safely say she made a good account of herself, despite gradients and weather. Cracking shot through the weeds at Andover, just how a MN should be portrayed. Hope you're all dried out, looked a bit grim out there!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It was a breathtaking performance, with the old girl in fine fettle throughout the day; a real credit to the group behind her. On a personal note, one of the best days I've spent chasing a railtour. The shot at Andover had us onlookers speechless. Thankfully dried out eventually.

A bit of a lightweight train for Clan Line. It must irritate West Coast Railways they can't stick one their tugs on the back of Clan Line. Great shot of it coming through Andover.

Why would it irritate West Coast to not have a diesel? They were operating the tour and could've happily put a diesel on the back if they wanted. The tour didn't require one, so why would they put one on?
@TheSouthernerYTChannel
@TheSouthernerYTChannel 2 жыл бұрын
Given the necessity for fast running out/in of London, and the steeper gradients out in the south-west, load 10 seemed a fair weight for the day. Never quite understood the whole 'anti-diesel' rhetoric. In almost every circumstance where one is present, it's due to operational necessity be that insurance on a challenging steeply graded route, power to the coach set, heating/air-conditioning, or shunting/positioning manoeuvres. As such, their inclusion can be the deciding point over whether a tour runs at all. In this case, with no need for a reversal on the route, and load 10 being well within the capability of the Merchant, it simply wasn't required. The shot at Andover was breathtaking, the clip doesn't quite do it justice. Glad you enjoyed it.

Utterly pointless comment. If you have nothing constructive to say, say nothing. As stated, why would it irritate WCRC? Apart from being just a tad provocative it takes away from some excellent captures of a memorable day. Thank you Southerner. Keep up the good work.

I’d have thought West Coast would be happy not to have to supply a diesel. Less man hours and a huge fuel saving!
