VT - Moonraker to Salisbury - 8th April

Sounded excellent passing Lapworth this morning probably waking up the village in the process. I'm now at Kennington junc for the next shot.

 

I suspect that may have been more to being given 12 minutes to roll downhill for 3 miles from Warwick to Leamington, rather than how well it was running.

 

Load 11, looking splendid in the sunshine. Could of done without the 25mph slack through Radley, no wonder the Hall never goes out !

 

Looking (and sounding) good near Mortimer this morning!

 

Arriving at Salisbury. Thanks to the crew member who let us have a look round on the footplate after it stopped - a nice friendly touch.

I'm hoping that the Didcot shed bash was well attended as the Earl paused at Didcot as a part of today's schedule.

 

My footage of Earl of Mount Edgcumbe sounding as brilliant as she looks in the beautiful sun. Filmed at Kings Sutton and Cholsey. Enjoy.

 

Mortimer and Whitchurch

 

Stunning light at Tackley this evening. Shall have the video tomorrow afternoon

 

Great shot of the Castle at Mortimer. That's where I was going to go but I caught some stomach bug Thursday and have spent most of the last two days on the damn toilet!
Didn't feel great today but this video has cheered me up. Always a great show from 5043 and her crews.

Yeah, the scene at Mortimer was perfect, the sound, the backdrop, the light, and of course the loco was working its socks off

 

Hi Mr Knowwun - any way I can get around having to watch all the self promotion at the beginning of your vids? Seen it once and it was great but..

Thanks

 

A short video of 5043 passing Grateley this morning. Big crowd on the bridge at Palestine!

Enjoy!

Damn fine locomotive. Damn fine crew. Shame about the dirty coal again.

 

That Pearl & Dean soundtrack makes me feel really really old.

 

Skip to 15 seconds.

 

An edited still from this evening's video. What a cracking way to end the day.

 

Otherwise engaged yesterday but managed to get across to Oxford in the evening to get a shot of it passing Port Meadow after the water stop
