Rail tour identification - Can anyone help please

This is a bit of a long shot.

Either last year or the year before I read a report on a railtour (in either Steam Railway or Heritage Railway). The railtour was double headed, I think by a Hall and possibly another Hall but I'm not entirely sure. One of the locos wasn't steaming well and for a time the whole weight of the train was being borne by one of the engines until, as I think the article put it, its crew heard "the short, sharp determined beat" of the other engine joining in the assault. I would dearly love to locate the article again and hope that one of you will recognise the railtour.

Yours hopefully

uksteaminfo lists two double-headers involving a Hall in 2008 (4 Oct and 8 Nov) and none in 2009.

 

May not be the same train at all, but there was a recording on one of the sound recordists sites of ( I think) 2 Black Fives coming up Hemerdon, and the rear engine was having problems such that the front one was having to do practically all the work. Speed was down to walking pace as they neared the summit but they did manage to get over and after that they were OK.

 

Thanks, it might have been Black 5s. I will look for it. It was a wonderful article
