    one would like to think that in circumstances like this differences could be put aside to assist steam, and the proximety of Carnforth could be of assistance to 71000.

    There the bang seems to be once per revolution of the driving wheels, whereas in David's video from Leyland there's a somewhat different sound once per several revolutions.
