Nice video. I’ve seen 2 black 5s running the Jacobite recently on my Scotland holiday. Numbers 45407 ‘The Lancashire Fusilier’ and 45212. Still haven’t seen 44871 to this day😂
'Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noon day sun'! Lovely W Country show, thank you for showing us! How does the 'clagger' at the stern know when to open up the throttles and assist the monster up front please?
I believe they communicate via radio, and the steam crew asks for assistance if they feel it's necessary, whether it's going over a gradient that's too steep to climb unassisted, or getting back up to speed after a station stop or signal check.
If you mean the actual figure, depends on the diesel but in this case, 2,580 horsepower. If you mean how much assistance it provides, that depends. Sometimes it might only push its own weight, sometimes it's full throttle to help get over otherwise impassable gradients or recover from signal checks.
They sure were not hanging around on this tour! Very dramatic footage. Great👍
Beautiful countryside, weather and Black 5. What more could one ask for!
Cleaner exhaust!

Very nice, thank you for showing them.🎉
Wonderful stuff, thank you & even the geese & the dog wanted a better view !!
I saw both runs at Newton Abbot, however I got some stunning footage of it on its return run
Great video! Here’s a question u probably don’t hear too much as people are more interested in the camera but what tripod do you use?

How much power comes from the locomotive at the back?

I just wish they would not push with the diesel….
