A legendary Lady and a King at The Didcot Railway Centre 6 April 2019

A day after her official launch, I visited the Didcot Railway Centre to see Saint Class 2999 Lady of Legend. Also in steam was the fabulous 6023 King Edward II.
Apologies for misspelling Didcot in the opening title. This took so long to upload, I'm not going to edit it and do it all again....!

Interesting to see 6998 Burton Agnes Hall's numbers on her buffer beam and smokebox door. Reminded me of when 7029 Clun Castle was like that prior to her overhaul being nearly completed.

What a treat to see those two locos fired up - excellent footage Hils. Looks like the weather was better there than in Purley too :)

[@hilsthetrainlady4683]

Thank you, Brian. It was great to be there. The sun didn't stay out for very long. It was probably warmer at the N Gauge show 😊

That strange object in the sky has been missing for a few days now north of the border.I noticed the pilot using the "Glasgow screw driver" to fix the wee problem.Nice video Hils.

Thank you, Robert. There's nothing like knocking it into shape! The sun didn't stay out for long, and it was pretty cold too!

Hi. What so you use to edit videos? Many thanks John

[@hilsthetrainlady4683]

Hi, John. Good to meet you today. I use Sony’s Movie Studio Platinum. I think it’s made by someone else now, though. Hilary

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

great to see 6998 burton agnes hall standing out of the shed for the first time since the 1990s

[@hilsthetrainlady4683]

Is it that long? Wow!

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Hils TheTrainLady yes because this engine was famous for hauling railtours in the 1990s And now it’s now waiting its turn to be having its overhaul it could start overhaul maybe about 2035 or 2033

[@hilsthetrainlady4683]

Scott I think there are a lot of locos awaiting overhaul in various places. It’s great when they return 😊

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Hils TheTrainLady Yeah mate

[@jakebello7988]

She is Maindy Hall no more... LADY OF LEGEND HAS BEEN BORN!

[@hilsthetrainlady4683]

And they have done a phenomenal job with her!

I just subscribed to your channel. I love the British steam locomotives better than the U.S.steam locomotives.

Thank you, Paul. Glad you enjoyed the vid. 😊
