    Black 5 and Clan line went through the same section 5 hours apart. So I chose the same spot to film both. Both clips were started as the buffer beam obscured the change in PLS.

    Just for a bit of fun

    Interesting shots, and as you pointed out not a great deal of difference. What were the respective loads?

    Apart from the amount of steam escaping from places other than the chimney. Clan Line has a few wisps around the cylinders, safety values and air pump (at the back of the tender). 44932, however...!!

    Yes it is easy to get to, its a public footpath. Check out Google earth/OS map for the footpath south of Virginia Water station. Beware however that a large colony of vicious ruthless formica Rufa nest under the steps. Anything filmed in spring or summer is hazardous to your nether regions.
