Noisy Saint! Front Window Steam - 2999 Lady of Legend | Epping Ongar Railway - 12.05.24

In what was without question the loudest 'Front Window' I've ever captured, we take a ride behind new build Saint Class No. 2999 Lady of Legend along the Epping Ongar Railway, travelling from Ongar station to just outside Epping Forest.
The locomotive was visiting the line for their 'Festival of Steam' trilogy from it's home at Didcot Railway Centre. 2999 is a recreation of the GWR Saint Class, built using spare parts from 4942 Maindy Hall, and was completed in 2019. Since the engine's completion it has been seen touring various heritage railways around the country. The locomotive would prove to be a beast as it took on the EOR's steep grades and show just how loud GWR locos can really be!

Wonder what she would sound like if she was running on Mainline railway at top speed.

Awesome noise! Have your eye drums recovered yet Thomas?

Just about Callum! Not as loud as Gresley's whistle mind, but still very noisy.
