Cheers John, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Dorridge really impressed me, even if the 47 was giving a good old shove lol. Regards, Dan

Great shots of a wonderful old girl in obviously rude health - showing my ignorance but do you know if the diesel is in constant push mode or there simply for gradients or possible failures - certainly 7029 is working its nuts off!!

[@crunchynutsteamfilms5043]

Thank you very much and I'm glad you enjoyed! The diesel wouldn't normally be there at all as the Shakespeare is normally unassisted. However in this case due to the fire risk the diesel was giving it a hefty shove to reduce how hard 7029 would have to work to get up to speed - 7029 still giving it some though! Regards, Dan

I had the worst day attempting four different locations that turned into two and i'm thinking I'm not gonna bother to upload anything and hope for better next Sunday

[@crunchynutsteamfilms5043]

That sounds terrible Andy mate, sometimes it doesn't go as planned! Liam told me what had happened. Hopefully it'll go better next week. Regards, Dan

[@AndysSteamAdventures]

@@crunchynutsteamfilms5043 so far so good this week mate 👍 3 locations done and now onto the 4th and final. I thought Liam might mention it, I was fuming tbh and changed plans for this weekend but next weekend I'm attempting the plans of last weekend, I'm getting more used to things not working as this year moves on 🤣 hopefully catch you at a location soon and happy filming mate ❤️

Music to my ears. I've seen Clun Castle in a number of KZbin videos before, so maybe next time you could capture a GWR steamy on a heritage railway. You don't have to be up so early for that. While Clun Castle is beautiful to watch, I love watching the smaller 4-6-0s hard at work like 7820 Dinmore Manor on the Gloucestershire, Warwickshire Railway for example. Show me a GWR Manor hard at work, and I'll show you how much I truly love her.

[@crunchynutsteamfilms5043]

Yes, I do have plans to visit some heritage railways later in the season but my main priority is always mainline steam. Regards, Dan
