    probadly made up the lost time as it practically beat me from Hellifield to Billington and hadnt time to set up to take a decent picture. Anyway looked great - just needs nameplates fixing and that dirty great big airpump on the front disguising.

    Chased it from Wennington to Hellifield to Billington and it flew up Whalley banks.

    Even the sun seems to like the loco - a gorgeous sunny day despite last night's forecast. Like John tried to get a shot after the Hellifield departure but an artic lorry heading to Gisburn market followed by a mobile caravan intent on looking at scenery foiled the chance to even get the Whalley viaducy shot from the by-pass. If she's like this on test the main line action should prove interesting.

    The sound of her climbing to Wilpshire was pretty impressive so I've been told. Here's hoping that climb appears on YouTube before long.

    Saw her just west of Langho (on the fence,in the field before anyone accuses me of standing on the banking!) absolutely belting up to Wilpshire. Sounding and looking fabulous. Good to have her back! Hope the remainder went ok,well done to all involved for a great job.

    Comparing it to previous videos of Tangmere, and other videos of other Bulleids, it sounds different to me. Can't tell you much more than that, and I may of course be mistaken.
