Superb!

[@tulyar1043]

Good video this one. Good to see the plaques on the boiler sides are still attached.

[@donniblanco5239]

Looking Fab in New Coat 👍🏻

[@derhamburger9289]

A gorgeous engine, glad it still runs today with his haunting whistle.

[@attuslebeard5133]

Magnificent! Great to see it back in blue again.

[@gs425]

Rather concerned about the on coming signal aspect at 2:00 there Nigel

[@hairyairey]

Wanted to run down to Fletton to see it reversing, running friend was too slow getting ready!

[@barbarafeerick-jr5ie]

Much prefer it in the blue rather than the wartime grey.

[@davidreid5672]

A superb example of our steam age.

[@lukeslocos6610]

Nice to see an A4, tbh I would have preferred if 60006 was preserved too but at least this one is

[@tulyar1043]

Ask the owners nicely, they might do this for you for a day.

[@maestromecanico597]

Marvelous piece of engineering. Nevertheless, there should be an international law prohibiting the operation of streamlined locomotives backward.

[@hairyairey]

It wouldn't be able to come to the Nene Valley Railway in that case as it has no turntables

[@maestromecanico597]

@@hairyairey Exactly. We need an INTERNATIONAL initiative to install turning facilities at EVERY heritage railway. Just tell them it fights climate change. Funding will come immediately.

[@andyjamess]

@@hairyairey It does have a turntable but I assume it would take far too long for turnround for it to be any use

[@hairyairey]

@@andyjamess never noticed it! Going to need to take a closer look next time.

@@hairyairey It is at Wansford behind the "New" station building
