Not wishing to be ungrateful Scaly, but it would have been nice for you to have caught the return working so that we could have seen and heard the steam loco doing the work.
Some good work here (with the diesel providing a little light uphill assistance at the rear this time), try starting a 07:00 minutes in!

nice?NICE?
More like "deadly". It was chuufing cold, the train was going to be an hour or more, and it was going to start getting dark by then and I can't have Tornado staying out all hours of the night!.
Think yourself lucky and run the video backwards. If you can ignore the smoke going into the chimney, then it looks great! (It was nice to watch it go through though!)

It's nice she survived into preservation. Diesels can be fun too!

Steam train whistles at Tornado would have been nice...
