6024 leaving Plymouth on 28 October 2006

[@Hermesmale]

I live near Plymouth and spotted there as a youngster. Slippage was regular with single engines on a heavy load

[@JimTLonW6]

Stunning sound!

[@internetandre]

What a fantastic noise that castle's making!! :D

[@pwalpar]

Awesome sound

[@schroedernz]

Love it! Great sound! - and it saves me the airfare from NZ

[@BartDeco]

Its from a standing start, on an uphill gradient on reverse curves and on damp rail. Wouldn't expect any slippage on a dry rail but it's always a spectacular sight whatever the loco and whatever the conditions.

Great shot!!!!

[@AndreiTupolev]

That's not a shotgun exhaust,that's an artillery barrage! Awesome.

[@73096std5]

lovely sound 5*

[@speediracer4]

Please reload the video!!! The sound appears to be screwed up?

[@bigben5051]

I should imagine around 2,000 / 2,500hp? This is only a guess mind you but its around that

[@Owentheguitarist666]

that is EPIC! 5*

[@lonesomewhistle]

And that's why you can't teach someone to drive a steam locomotive on a simulator! It's all seat of the pants stuff. A bit more regulator and that could've been a serious slip! Great stuff.

i am a nere steam enthusiast but I have never heard that much squeaking ... obviously somfin is amiss !
