35028 on VSOE today

Through Chilworth a couple of minutes early with 12 on,making very competent ascent of the gradient on a vile sleety day. No box on back -nice to see that. Very attractive new "southern" type headboard with " British Pullman" on it. The MNLPS guys,as always, have surpassed themselves-she looked superb.

 

Yes, was surprised to see the "British Pullman" headboard. Know this spot is a well worn old favourite for many but it's the first time I've been there - two shots of Clan Line arriving back at Victoria down Grosvenor Bank:

Another view from today, 35028 gets away from Shalford on a rather gloomy afternoon. This view from a legal spot behind fence and crossing gate.

 

The new board did surprise me somewhat, looks quite nice though. Managed to get out to Chertsey to see this, was running around 5 mins late I think but seemed back on time by Byfleet and New Haw as it passed underneath the M25 as I passed overhead!

 

Here is my video from today's VSOE, captured at Worplesdon and Chilworth. The departure from Shalford was 5 minutes early, and I had only been set up for a couple of minutes before 35028 came into view... making an incredible noise and looking outstanding!

And here is my capture of Clan Line yesterday, like most surprised by the new headboard, and, for a VSOE trip on this route, lack of diesel.

I also got bowled by a herd of cows in one scene. Some great whistling from Clan Line.

I wouldn't try milking one of those cows :shocked:

Bet the crew were wetting themselves ound:

 

Well there you go, it's nice to see a video from the same spot, thanks for posting. It was very gloomy but calm so a good day for sound recording and the 'sunny side' view from that spot looked a bit tight to me. The other guy there had also come from the two tunnels at Guildford, that's a spot I must try sometime. Great to see 35028 flying along with no 67 on the back, well worth the trip out.

 

That loco is an absolute credit to all concerned............

 

They are a new breed of cattle - Findus cows.

Dave.

 

Yes, the sunny side view has all but gone with the vegatation, I only went back because it was cloudy so could go the otherside. My photo...
