4771 Green Arrow: A Dying Flame

[@robmasterman]

Wonderful footage David, it's such a shame that this sole survivor is no longer in working order....it's a much loved loco....Bob

[@Linesider1]

Many thanks Bob. If I had a time machine I'd be pointing it to the 50s or 60s and the Waverley Route, to experience these loco's doing what they did best. Ho hum, who knows what might happen one day!

4771 is too old to be in service but i glad he is still exist

[@bennickss]

@@thatoneguythatlikesship The flying scotsman is 99, why would this be too old to exist?

[@TheSaint491]

It may be my passion for the smaller engines, but I have always preferred the v2s to other Gresley locos

[@ncplantdoctor]

Beautiful video. Great editing. A static display is important too, but this video with her rake of cars shows todays youth that these were very capable and powerful locos.

[@johnlner]

a nice set of shots..... good to hear the famous 'gresley beat', that syncopation of the exhaust sound, captured so well in peter handford's waverley route recordings...

[@Linesider1]

Many thanks John. One wonders whether we might, just, somehow, see a V2 on the Waverley Route again. The holy grail would of course be over Whitrope, but I'd settle for Green Arrow anywhere on the route, or indeed any other line - a superb engine.

[@scotsmanproductions8226]

I really hope the NRM fix the v2 all though unfortunately they say they won't due to money and how expensive the repairs will be :(

[@soulbabe79]

that won`t happen they can`t find that piece or even know how to build it

[@tnamuls0288]

ted poo what went wrong with it

[@Peppercorn60163Tornado]

I like to think that Green Arrow is a smaller version of the much loved Flying Scotsman

[@stuartb3663]

One of my favourite locomotives

[@Parsound]

My favourite Gresley class. I've had some great runs behind her over the years, much missed indeed. Thanks for reviving memories of that magical beat. Alan

[@Linesider1]

Thanks Alan - mine too, such a good looking, strong, great sounding engine. Has it all really - would love to have seen them at work on the Waverley Route. David.

[@khankadet]

Great footage of Green Arrow David including some unique shots. Luckily I got to see her on the S&C before she disappeared and would love to see her again. Chris

[@EMuksteam]

Brilliant video of this great loco. That is unfortunately no longer on mainline. A loco sadly missed. Wonderful locational clips that you will remember on that special day. C&A

[@Linesider1]

Many thanks - I'm glad we made the effort to see her as much as possible when at the ELR. Would love to see her return one day, preferably on the S&C.

[@acw71000]

Great video David of a much missed loco. Very impressed by your three personal run pasts!

[@Linesider1]

Thanks Austin - we couldn't believe our luck really, and despite the weather, it will remain a special memory given the loco. Just wish someone could run her on the mainline, if an appeal could be launched.

[@mikeytrains1]

When will she be back out?

[@peckelhaze6934]

Shame we can no longer see her in motion.

[@TheMendipman]

David Your secret is safe with me! Noel

[@Linesider1]

Haha - thanks Noel!

[@steamlocomotivesltdjamesh6760]

Do you think we will see a new v2 built or see green arrow steam again

[@Jarmy05]

James Hardy my grandad works at NRM and he said they may restore it

[@harrykuheim6107]

A Mechanical Dinosaur.....

[@BenZaniline]

So what would you call Flying Scotsman?

[@bobcornford3637]

Rubbish

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

There are rumours that green arrow may come back to steam in near future

[@Linesider1]

Yes If heard that too, let’s hope it’s true!
