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?
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.
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
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
Bloody hell, Adrian still with hair on his head! And Borough were in the Premiership, must have a while ago...
I hope she'll come back soon. I miss seeing her in action.
man, where is your blower at, more smoke coming out the fire door that the stack

Tasted superb and luckily the V2 did get to make a final run, No news on a return to service yet though

so what exactly did breakfast consist of that morning.
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
When was Green Arrow fitted with TPWS ?
why is it so smokey in the cab? no blower?
when will it be back on the mainline
Will she return to steam?
No, they're a different class of locomotive, Green arow is smaller.
so mark, how was the breakfast on 4771. was it good?
what a breggie, but you know that the spade was also the toilet back in the day.
magnifique et bravo,merci a++++
I bet barbecues is one of the greatest advantages about steam engines. LOL!
That is one way to pass the time when your engine is steaming up. haha XD

I nearly ate my laptop when i saw the bacon :-)

If you 'crack' the blower on a touch you wouldn't fill the cab with smoke....
cousin perhaps? builder ect.
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
