Fantastic from all three Jubs, but the noise from a single chimney one is just awesome! Great compilation video. JG.

Hi my name is Phil i did 50yrs on the footplate i started in 1961 at Edgeley shed in I have a number of these locomotives as well as others I 2yrs at Trafford park and I came back to Edgeley I finished my time out at Longsight in 2011 Regards Phil.

[@acw71000]

Quite a career you had Phil, enjoyable but hard work with steam no doubt. I bet you'd do it all over again given the chance! Thanks for your interesting comment and for watching the video

Golden days Austin of not that long ago, missing the wonderfull sights and sounds of the jubilees, very nice, cheers Steve . 👍

[@acw71000]

Thanks Steve, it's a great shame that we've not seen the Jubs this year. Fingers crossed for better things next year but I'm not hopeful!

[@tattoo1084]

Excellent footage Austin.👍

[@acw71000]

Cheers David, much appreciated

[@nige7577]

A superb collection Austin and unfortunately it brings home just what we are missing at present, hopefully we won’t have to wait too long to hear that wonderful sound again, cheers 👍

[@acw71000]

Cheers Nige, it's sad to think of all those West Coast locos boiler certificates ticking away while they're not working

[@johnlindroth4187]

Video and the sounds are top enjoyable!

[@acw71000]

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed the video

Excellent compilation of the Jubilees in action Austin. Regards, Dave.

[@acw71000]

Many thanks Dave, one of my favourite classes of loco

[@GreatBritishRailways1]

Austin, Fine locomotives, all nicely captured and a great compilation. A notable point is the majority of the clips don't have diesel assistance which results in the locomotives working harder producing a better sound. Regards, John

[@acw71000]

Thanks very much John, these diesel free days seem a lot further away now than they really are!

[@TheStephengthompson]

Belting video Austin, certainly shows what we are missing 👍

[@acw71000]

Thanks Steve, my thoughts exactly as I was going through the clips. Seems like another age!

[@SimonTog]

Great video Austin :)

[@acw71000]

Thank you Simon

[@stephensmith799]

The pulling power of Jubilees (quite a ‘long legged’ design) is amazing. Here’s evidence of them putting in greater performances than in BR or LMS days, surely? Thirteen On, unassisted. Strewth. And wonderfully noisy too.

[@acw71000]

Yes indeed, the Jubs are wonderful locos, probably overloaded on some of these clips but great to see and hear nonetheless

[@lnerrules-iw6ry]

Excellent footage there Austin of Jubliees in action over the years. Nice locos are the Jubs?

[@acw71000]

Thanks Andrew, yes indeed they are one of my favourite classes

[@jameshardy4354]

West coast railways have bought kholapur so hopefully all 4 will be in steam 1 day

[@acw71000]

Yes that would be something to look forward to, thanks for watching
