Great footage. I even see myself waving to you from the caboose in the closing seconds!

So good to see a 15F back on the main line doing what she was designed to do. Full marks to FOTR for keeping the dream alive! Thanks Gabor

Wow!!! I came back to look at your clip again and it really is spectacular stuff on film there! That evening shot with her throbbing away in the african air at speed is almost good enough to get ones arm hairs up - I like to listen to the clips with a set of Sony Over-the-ears headphones, normally with the volume turned up...you can hear every nuance of the exhaust staccatto! Please keep posting shots like this, beautiful filming!
