For today only... a thread for celebrating everything Black Five...

 

45407 & 44871 crossing the Findhorn Viaduct at Tomatin.

 

43 years after BR steam finished, two Black 5s pictured going about their business at Carlisle.

 

Here's a 2 for 1 offer - Doubleheader at Rimington
Check out my Flickr site David Price Cop Lane

 

13th July 2005
- 45231 emerging from Hastings Tunnel into St Leonard's Warrior Square

 

Here’s a Black Friday offer, two for the price of one:

 

BOGOF (buy one get one free)


(2016 at Ashurst - New Forest)

 

A BOGOF attacking Camden Bank
In the frost at Horsted Keynes
And a pause in proceedings with their masters at Llandeilo

(You can never have too many Black 5's)

 

Here is a bit of Black Five noise for #BlackFiveFriday. My video of 45379 at the MHR in 2014:

 

My oldest and newest videos to feature a Black 5.

 

Two more:

 

Totally agree - as others clearly do! What a contrast to, say 1955-60 (Not that I remember those days) when the spotters' cry was often "it's only another Black Five!"

Anyway, as we can't have too many, here's another one - 44932 at Afflington. (Swanage Railway) 13th June 2013.

 

"You can never have too many Black 5's" ---- No argument here

44767, 44871, 44932, 5000, 5025, 45110, 45212, 45231, 45305 and 45407 out and about on the big railway ! (did I miss any ?)

 

44767 at Kelling Heath, 45337 at Sutton, 44871 and 45407 at Corrour, and 45407 at Kirkhill.

 

Back in the days when 2 in steam in the same place wasn't 2/3 of summer mornings or evenings at Fort William......
