- 4771 on steam test after what many though was the end, We arrived to find the fire almost out and in need of attention from the rake, When the needle began to rise attempted to cook brekkie, Afterwards brought the loco gently upto working pressure to set the valves before dropping the fire. Hopefully the V2 will go out in style with a final run

I hope she'll come back soon. I miss seeing her in action.
I was too busy to film the whole of the steam test but also took a few stills which are in the NYMR April 2008 gallery on my fotopic site
Well The fire would have been lit around 6am, We arrived on shed and I started filming around 10:30am when things had warmed through but the fire was pretty dead, We were kept pretty busy livening up the fire and actually had breakfast at dinnertime, We had to bring things round slowly and the valves finally lifted about 4pm and the loco was disposed of about an hour later, As you know 4771 passed it's exam and performed the following weekend on its farewell run.
Tasted superb and luckily the V2 did get to make a final run, No news on a return to service yet though
Bloody hell, Adrian still with hair on his head! And Borough were in the Premiership, must have a while ago...
AmAZING.................gOOD OLD DAYS..............
That is one way to pass the time when your engine is steaming up. haha XD
what a breggie, but you know that the spade was also the toilet back in the day.
man, where is your blower at, more smoke coming out the fire door that the stack
magnifique et bravo,merci a++++
I bet barbecues is one of the greatest advantages about steam engines. LOL!
I nearly ate my laptop when i saw the bacon :-)
No, they're a different class of locomotive, Green arow is smaller.
so what exactly did breakfast consist of that morning.
when will it be back on the mainline
When was Green Arrow fitted with TPWS ?
They're frying bacon on that shovel. Where are the eggs?.
I would imagine the heat from the fire would kill all the bacteria on it :) Could you imagine being trackside years ago and getting hit with a turd going 80 miles per hour. hahaha
Will she return to steam?
why is it so smokey in the cab? no blower?
yep that would be me sounding like john lennon.
ah coal dust and meat, great combination !
cousin perhaps? builder ect.
ok with me being from america and not understanding your guys rules You did an Steam test for a last run over here we do a 15 year tear down and a 90 day inspection and after 15 years are up you do a tear down and get resertified so why did you guys have to do a test for a final run?
Sounds more like Middlesborough tin tin to me, Look him up on youtube
At 7:17 Adam is taking the baffle plate out to inspect the tubeplate, That's why he needs the torch to see what's above the brickarch and in the shadows
so mark, how was the breakfast on 4771. was it good?
If you 'crack' the blower on a touch you wouldn't fill the cab with smoke....
How dare you forget eggs! lol
really, i could of sworn i saw one guy cook chicken breasts on the shovel.
Now I have seen everything cooking bacon in a fire box what about the eggs and a bit of tomato sauce on the bread and give me a feed too please
The steamer I work on in the US we have cooked steak and corn on for dinner. even made breakfast steak and eggs one morning
Bacon, Mushrooms and Tomato in a bun with Black fingerprints all over it

Adam Webb yep relly exspensive bacon cooker
is 4771 cheaper than british gas for breakfast lol.
