    Black 5s the most beautiful locos ever, and great footage of a busy day, thanks.

    Back in May 2012 44871 headed a Settle to Carlisle West Coast Special which my wife treated us to for my 65th birthday. Caught the train at Lancaster, enjoyed breakfast before Settle then dinner out of Carlisle on return journey. Fabulous day with the added bonus of Vintage Buses at Appleby. Between Preston and Lancaster a ticket guide sat with us and told us sadly her top speed was limited but she used to reach 90mpg along this stretch of irons which for years was her stamping ground! Happy days 😊

    I'm a Black 5 fanatic, (from my long ago childhood in Liverpool) 212 is my absolute favourite, but the Riley Twins come very close! Thanks for the great video - I enjoyed the taking on water, not often you get to see that close up.

    Happy memories of many visits to Hellifield to witness similar movemants, and also to join steam specials there to go over the S&C to Carlisle. No longer possible as we moved to the West Midlands. Nice video, well executed and edited - well done indeed.

    I've only been to Hellifield once back in the mid 90s. Saw Flying Scotsman and one of the Merchant Navy's on opposite railtours. Great day out. I like your style of presentation as well as the content. Brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍

    great video, and aren't black fives very versatile. keep up the great videos.
  • Nice sequences. If this was in the USA there would be the additional clanking bell throughout the coverage.
  • The Black 5 is looking very nice, odd to see that the rear of the tender was lined out, but if it's your locomotive you can have done it anyway you like. Thanks very much for video the posting

    What are the two sheds on the left in a few shots. Some have coaches in and wagons? Also track going to them
