Latest on 34067?

First real time I have seen Tangmere in the flesh and very impressed . This is my footage from todays test. This video has come up as processing so sorry about the delay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlYf-EgXP3U

 

Well, the mainline Bulleid drought is almost at an end. Looking forward to my first tour behind her, whenever that'll be.

 

Steve your video is showing as not available??


Just uploaded 3 photos to my site. In the caption I am making it clear of where I was stood as already someone has questioned me on where I was standing for the video!

Yes sorry about that Mark , cant see why though as I thought I had put the right code for embedding the video. Steve

 

Seems like half of NatPres were at or near Langho today. My little attempt from the platform (featuring Steve Thompson, his dad and Phil"981smithy" - good to chat to you all):

Good to see her back - thank you West Coast.

here is the right link for Stephen's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlYf-EgXP3U

Thanks Stephen, very nice indeed!

 

It would appear the Volcano is well and truly back in action

 

Brilliant, thanks. Awesome loco. Especially now they've given her an ex-GWR whistle! :behindsofa:

And a PS to say, well done once more to Carnforth engineers, you look to have done your usual superb job getting Tangmere back into shape.

(Mind you, if it was one of you gave her the carpark door-dink just in front of the right-hand side cab, you're in trouble.............)

 

Some more pics from todays test run at Starricks Farm/Kettlesbeck and Long Preston at http://philmetcalfe.fotopic.net/c1940370.html

A couple more shots of Tangmere also at Long Preston and crossing Whalley Viaduct

Here's my humble offering to add to the great vids & pics already posted. Thanks to S&L for info

Great footage as always Steve, especially the last storming clip.
I didnt witness any of the Southern Engines as a boy in Yorkshire and I cant say these Locos are my favourite.
However a trip on the Scarborough Spa Express behind Tangmere in May 2008 was very impressive indeed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/goldsteam/2523657537/in/set-72157605305160854/

 

Superb............lovely backdrop..

 

Thanks for all the videos. In Steve's last clip there is a big stack of concrete sleepers in the field, are they going spare? Could they be of interest to a few railways local to there?

Go to 4m40s look at the idiot with is tripod on the edge of the platform and is back to the traffic this is the same as last year don't people learn.

 

Definitely asking for trouble. No matter how 'aware' one is it is easy to be caught in the moment. I've been on platforms (at a sensible distance from the edge) waiting for a tour, and as it comes into sight everything else is forgotten then something comes through the other road doing about 90 and scares the bejeezus out of you!

 

Nice video!

I remember politely asking someone to get back onto the platform (he was just walking off the ramp) at Stratford U Avon from 5029s footplate... I got the "two finger salute" back! Nice eh? What I've found is that there are some photographers that won't be happy until they're right next to the track. I find that a bit sad to be honest...

 

i doe's anyone know appox time for tangmere light movement south please;
great to see her back on main line again;

all the best

Just out of interest - with regards to the air pump location. Has it always been there and I have just never noticed, or was she not air braked before?

Really isn't an issue, just interested.

 

It's always been there but it's partially disguised by the usual head code disc. http://www.flickr.com/photos/spinner673/4170650792/
