Superb, Steve, who could ask for more! Excellent captures, despite the weather, of Leander putting on a great show both with and without diesel support. Kind regards, Bob.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Bob , bit wet but very entertaining to see her working hard . Steve

[@robmasterman]

What a performance from this old lady Steve, great coverage in what were trying conditions.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Bob, it was some climb especially with the 47 not really doing much just a shame the rain was right at the lens for the last shots .

[@KenBrownekb71000duke]

Brilliant video Steve and a superb performance from Leander and her crew with 11 on and wet rails - not even a hint of a slip - well worth being out in a downpour to witness. Thanks mate!

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Ken , it was a cracking show from 45690 as I’ve watched a video of her departing Man Vic and the 47 was doing nothing really so some effort from the Jub . Regards Steve

[@snowjohnb]

A really superb effort and great exhaust too.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks John , it was worth the four am start time 😂

[@SimonTog]

Super job and nice video Steve, great sound :)

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Simon, she did sound good I must admit 👍

[@stuartharrington2126]

the sound of that POWER!!

[@EMuksteam]

Brilliant video Steve. Superb performance up the climb at Miles. Great clips at Chinley. Hope you didn’t get to wet. Plenty of exhaust. Seem to be popular locations as a acw was there. Kind regards C&A

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks C&A, yes I had been talking with Austin the night before about the shot at Miles P and Chinley so no coincidence really lol 😂

[@JoshMallard96]

Wonderful video out there Steve. Nice to see Leander steaming again, especially coming through the fields and the bridges you know. Thanks for sharing this my friend. Ta thanks ... Josh

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Josh , that was an impressive climb up the bank as the 47 wasn’t helping that much I thought 👍

[@locomotive6727]

Hi Steve, Great shots,Weather not too good , ...Dave

[@AndyDandanFisherSteam]

Wonderful sounds .... I see you had your assistant out again !!! ..... Andy

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Andy, lovely noise from the Jubilee yes and there’s no show without Punch lol

[@bobnweaver]

Superb scenes Steve and a great effort by you in those conditions. Regards, Jeff.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Jeff , Miles Platting was ok it was just the Chinley shot that was a pain with the wind right into the lens sadly.

[@balmesh]

Great stuff, Steve, and the rain didn't spoil the sound - or the exhaust!!

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Alan, the rain made for decent exhaust like you say but it was just a shame the rain was right at the cameras at Chinley but hey ho .

[@gaspode2005]

No need to apologize for the rain on the lens Steve - considering the conditions you did a cracking job!

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Bob , the weather wasn’t the best but the sight and sound was well worth it we thought 👍

[@barrythedieselelectricstea5217]

excellent video 3 great shots 👍👍

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Barry, testing conditions but all good in the end 👍

[@nige7577]

Excellent Steve, worked out very well and sounding great, worth the early start so what's a little rain lol.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Nige , great sounds so it was worth a soaking I thought 👍

[@allan5919]

Super video footage of the 'Jubilee' working hard Stephen and very well captured by your camera. Cheers - Allan.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Allan, the weather made it difficult at times but good to see the Jubilee in fine form 👍

[@geoffbarnett8038]

Excellent Steve despite the weather.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Geoff, just a shame the weather forecast was right but still a good day filming. Steve

[@TheBrickGuy7939]

Great shots. I saw it powering through Davenport.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks for the kind comment. Hope you got a good shot at Davenport .

[@acw71000]

Very good Steve, nice to see the different views. I thought the second camera shot at Chinley worked well. I think you'll agree it was worth getting wet for

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Austin, yes things worked well even with the ghastly unit stuck in the shot. The angle at Chinley in the field worked well just a shame the rain wasn’t coming from behind.

[@AndreiTupolev]

At least it's nice not to have to worry about fire risk!

[@hemerdonbank]

Poor weather, Steve, but well worth it I would say. Good effort on Miles Platting with the 47 not doing a lot. Keith

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Keith, it was a superb performance I thought especially in that weather. Regards Steve

[@CrossfellRailwayVideos]

Good one, Steve!

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Alan, good day out and home for elevensies 👍

[@deauvilledad07]

Excellent video Steve, shame about the weather. Well done 🤓

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Anthony, less than ideal weather but it made for a good exhaust 👍

[@ronleitch7788]

A great performance! I thought to begin with that she was going to have banking assistance for the whole trip, but it must just have been to get the train started up the bank?

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Ron , can’t blame the powers that be in leaving the 47 on for the 1 in 49 especially in those conditions but 45690 was working hard with little assistance from the rear . The plan was for the 47 to come off at Heaton Norris Junction I believe. Steve

[@ronleitch7788]

TheStephengthompson Yes, Steve, on a 2nd listen, it’s obvious that the ‘47’ is doing no more than ‘ticking over’!

[@g.j.binkhorst6071]

This is what steamtraction has to be, is'n it? Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks GJ , pleased you enjoyed the video. Steve

[@AndreiTupolev]

Very good performance in very unfavourable conditions, and the 47 wasn't giving very much of a shove at Miles Platting.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Andrei, it was a superb show from the Jubilee as like you say not much help from the 47 if any .

[@jamesburnside3023]

Liked and subbed hope you do as well excellent video for sure

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks James, much appreciated 👍
