Winter CCE with Scots Guardsman 28th January

Or Mexicans!

 

Cracking video Steve, with a brilliant soundtrack, but, oh what an engine that Scots Guardsman is....

Many thanks for turning out today Steve and sharing with us.

Cheers,

Alan

 

That is an outstanding video of 46115 and her crews on magnificent form.
Thanks for venturing out to film it.

 

Yes have to agree Steve on a day when video was always going to better than stills
Are you still sponsored by Lemsip you might need them tomorrow lol

 

Thanks Alan my pleasure and glad you enjoyed the fine sight and sound from 46115 today but not everyone agrees with you as my serial dislike man is back LOL

 

Thank you for the very kind comment as it's much appreciated . Steve

 

Thanks Henry , oddly it was not that wet on Shap but I have the secret weapon to keep me warm in the Zippo handwarmer LOL .

 

The boy dun good, cracking vid Steve

 

Hope there's no sexual connections there lol

 

Trust you !

 

LMS 7P Class 4-6-0 No. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' putting on the style in damp overcast conditions on the climb to Grayrigg



Under a setting sun, LMS 7P class 4-6-0 No. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' drifts across the River Esk on the approach to Ravenglass with the returning 'Cumbrian Coast Express'

 

Second shot not bad but eyes drawn towards the boat. Defo shouldnt have bothered with the first

 

Thundering through Grange-Over-Sands early evening..................................

 

Superb footage Steve. Superb light at Eskmeals!

 

Agree Ian poss because the dull god was at Ravenglass lol

 

Today's run shows the wisdom of not overloading the motive power. Ten behind a Scot and it's master of the job, eleven behind a Jubilee and it needs a backside-kicker, even if it is "only taking its own weight". Of course matters were helped by the closeness to WCRC's base in case of trouble but it is still a case of a steam hauled trip responsibly done. EDIT: Yes, 10 coaches, sorry that I can't count from a video!

 

Yes excellent footage Stephen and it was good to see you again today up at Shap Wells,thanks for accommodating me on the wall under your camcorder . You did very well with the last two shots great light at Eskmeals which we had at Nethertown,but no exhaust and the last shot at Dalton what power from the Scot.

Very nice Ian did you know about speed restriction at bridge at Nethertown

 

No! I do now! Presumably a reasonably new restriction, as I've seen shots from there where it's worked right through only a couple of years ago?
