55022 Royal Scots Grey on Alcan trips 27th April 2011

[@thehoff1982]

thumbs up if you would rather see her working freight on the mainline instead of sitting silently in the nrm!!!

[@SuperWHIZZO]

To quote the vernacular of the time this masterpiece was built , thanks for sharing R.S.G. in "totally fab" surroundings . The old girl looks wonderful.

[@KenBrownekb71000duke]

Great clips of RSG Roy! You just can't beat that Napier "rumbling roar" can you? Loved it when RSG opened up on the last clip and produced the whiteout! Wonderful. Ta for the upload mate! Ken

[@bellers13]

Excellent capture, puts the modern world back into perspective a little!! RSG is a wonderful machine.

[@zipdiskdude]

Hellfire! What a beast. Excellent video, thanks for posting. Looking forward to my bash up Northern Scotland next month.

[@dexterfitben]

Its never grows old. Fanbloodytastic.

[@wiggydj100]

Brill video, shame to see such an icon relegated to such duty, but saying that great to see and hear Royal Scots Grey running. Well done.

[@quadtechuk]

Good video, nice to see some shots with the Northumbrian scenery in the background.

[@iantrack]

Best video of the workings by far. What a beauty.

[@waldenhouse]

Brilliant! It looks like the driver is asking for directions!

[@jfrankland1991]

martin walker mentions on rsg's website that the work has been extended to at least sat 14th may!

[@cagorrie]

Nice video, especially the last few shots ! Thanks for sharing it

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Great site to see. Very well filmed. Thanks for sharing

[@rusttrail3]

Wow the old units are sweet, im from across the pond in the usa and being a fan of the old EMD's there are several types of older diesels over there that sound great ......it looks like the old girl needs a sleeve job blowing all that white smoke, great video

[@nivlick]

rusttrail3 that's the beauty of a two stroke diesel the white smoke.

[@86311WN]

Great stuff. I went up there yesterday for the 2nd time and its well worth a trip.

[@applecounty]

Amazing. Proof that even in this corporate world wonderful things can happen.

[@zipdiskdude]

Hellfire! What a beast. Excellent video, thanks for posting. Looking forward to my bash up Northern Scotland behind this monster next month.

[@dakkan5433]

Should be put to work from time to time, she still has the power!!!

[@jonniefc]

5:30 the class 66 is stunned into silence as a real loco powers past.

[@irelandbloke]

[@vorlonb3]

[@gt40mk1]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Waverley125]

fab video mate

[@wiggydj100]

@SiriusHardware. I agree, it is brill to see/hear a Deltic, no matter what the duty. I was only stating my point of view.

[@simpletimes222]

Brilliant!

[@RoundelRailways]

what next? tornado on the tescos?? ;)

[@sleepyrider]

Rail Express says hire will last till July. Anyone know if this is still the case?

[@noelist]

great video, cheers.

[@interselector5891]

lovely vid

[@nigelmitchell351]

Seems sort of strange to see and hear a race horse doing the work of a cart horse.

[@RFSA180]

I bet all those spotters are now caught in the Savile enquiry.

[@maltesephil]

not quite the 100mph flying scotsman she was built for but still, that NOISE....

[@TonyMontana-fz4io]

Now THAT is a machine!!!

[@cjmillsnun]

No the white smoke is normal. The deltic is a two stroke engine and so burns oil by design.

[@johndean4998]

Where would you source a qualified driver for her?

[@thomashambly3718]

Any heritage railway

[@fairclought7]

Both engines working?

[@duncanbhaltaireanraigwilso9627]

If I remember correctly only one engine was used to start the train to avoid too much wheelslip, then the second engine was fired up to get the train to speed. The combination of low axle loading, and high power makes the 55 very prone to slip.
