Another splendid video David-it’s hard to beat a Black 5 being handled (and filmed!) superbly

Thanks P - a cameo from a famous photographer on the left too ;)

Hard to beat..!

A Black 'Un, always reliable... Ohh I've worked on a few 'cos I know 'em. Ex: BR fireman until steam finished, even worked this route too.😉 Nice footage David.

Many thanks again Geo and you must have some great memories from the footplate - a difficult long climb up to Sough I imagine?

[@Geo46115]

@Linesider1 Ohhh lots of memories and that route especially from Bolton, I imagine the embers are still falling...😂

You can't beat a black 5! In fact the only engine better than a black 5? Two black 5s😂

[@Linesider1]

Haha absolutely John, wonderful engines.
