An absolute joy Nige. The sight, the sound, the filming. Watched several times already - just makes me smile. I'll have to come back again later. Take care - Chris
Many thanks Richard and much appreciated, with the Black 5 at its best we couldn’t have asked for a better performance and soundtrack to end the steam specials on, kind regards nige👍
Another gem from 'our Nige', and just another Black 5, eh? '5407 proving yet again that this class is well at 'home' on the banks of the WCML and the S&C. 'She' sounds in top order, with 1st class handling from 'her' crew, a nice grey exhaust - and looking superb coming 'head-on' through KS. Excellent Nige and thanks for sharing.👍
Many thanks George, we’ve been spoilt again with a superb performance on Shap from 5407 with Mick Kelly driving and hardly any assistance from the rear if any, unfortunately that was the last steam over Shap this year but will post a couple of bonus shots one from Shap and one on the return soon, kind regards nige👍
A wonderfull day for steam today with a super show from 45407 and the crew Nige, fullmarks for the opening pan, with the chance of it getting dark if delayed a good choice at K/Stephen with great results, cheers Steve . 🎥👍
Thanks Steve, a superb performance from the Black 5 with the last steam special over Shap this year and luckily the light stayed long enough for the return, cheers 👍
Many thanks Louise you’re very welcome, this was the last of the steam charters over Shap this year so we couldn’t have asked for a better finale, cheers 👍
Many thanks Austin, an outstanding performance from 45407 and an excellent crew just shows what these locos are capable of and a pleasure to watch, cheers 👍
Terrific!! Particularly liked the smoke/sound capture on the final bit of the climb to Shap Summit - very evocative. Many thanks for sharing, cheerz, Alan.
Many thanks Alan and glad you enjoyed watching, I kept recording when a heard that lovely soundtrack as the train went out of the picture as the sound was wonderful, cheers 👍
Thanks Phil, great to see 45407 with the Northern Belle, does look smart with the 57s in matching livery, bet you were tempted by the luxury, cheers nige👍
Thanks Alistair, a superb ending to the steam specials without doubt and in the hands of Ian Riley’s finest couldn’t have been better, luckily the rain stayed away and the light on the return was better than expected, I wondered where you might be, cheers 👍
@@nige7577 I spoke to Bob and we agreed that Greenholme was the best option for us as he was not staying out for the return leg. I first went to Langwathby for the return leg but then decided to head closer to Carlisle to try and get the best i could out of the light so opted for the curve at Armathwaite where we were treated to some lovely evening light.
Best spot for you both I would say and the way it was looking we could have lost the light but things cleared up somewhat but that’s always a gamble and further north is always a better option.
Good stuff there Nige - I can't help but thinking the black 5s did a lot of the work this year - but of course, plus ca change (when in trouble, use a black 5 or two
Thanks Stewart, yes due to the issues with the stock and air braked locos this last year it was great to see the Black 5s step in when needed, cheers 😀
I was gutted yesterday nige because I missed it at garsdale and Hellifield so I went to Bentham but no whistle and for a last minute dash Also there's 2 ECS movements Friday and Sunday do you know what loco it is or not bye for now Philip
That’s the trouble when there’s two charters Philip as it’s a gamble whether you can catch both but luckily you were able to catch the Lancashire Fusilier heading back to Carnforth, sorry don’t know what will be on these at present Philip, cheers 👍
It must have been rather jealous of all the publicity its sister 44871 had been getting all summer while it was putting in hard work out of Fort William. Nice to see it on the mainline by itself
Thanks Andrei, well she certainly continued all the hard work on the Jacobite with a superb performance climbing Shap and with a luxury rake in tow, cheers 👍
Lovely. The evening shots were delightfully atmospheric with the lights on inside the carriages.
Many thanks Phil, we were lucky with the light on the return but just right to catch all the coaches lit up, cheers 👍
An absolute joy Nige. The sight, the sound, the filming. Watched several times already - just makes me smile. I'll have to come back again later. Take care - Chris
Many thanks Chris and glad you’re enjoying watching, a superb performance from 45407 steam at its best, cheers nige 👍
Nige, A terrific capture and what a performance from the Five. Regards, John
Thanks John, a cracking performance from the 5 and just what we wanted for the final steam over Shap this year, regards nige 👍
Spot on Nige, nice to see 45407 flying over the Northern fells again 👍
Many thanks Simon, yes it’s been a while since we last saw 45407 on Shap so a great way to finish the year, cheers 👍
Another cracking video, and the sound of the Black 5 is awesome. Well done Nige.
Many thanks Richard and much appreciated, with the Black 5 at its best we couldn’t have asked for a better performance and soundtrack to end the steam specials on, kind regards nige👍
Five star from the five and super capture at Kirkby Stephen which is one of the best viewpoints on the S&C because of the curve.👍
Many thanks Stephen, yes that curve shot does take some beating running out of the Station, cheers 👍
Great filming of the Black Five Nige. Enjoyed the video. Cheers - Allan. 🙂
Many thanks Allan, glad you enjoyed watching as the Five certainly put in a great performance, cheers nige👍

@nige7577 Thanks Nige for the info. So it was Mr Kelly eh? Well I might have known... 😉

@nige7577 Say no more, as Mick's standard of loco handling is exemplary. 👌

Great video Nige, superb camera work along with excellent sound. Enjoyed from start to finish.
Many thanks Jed, glad you enjoyed watching it as it was a superb performance from 45407 to finish the year off, cheers 👍
Wonderful shots Nige , fantastic performance from 45407 especially as it seemed to be doing 99% of the work.
Thanks Steve, yes I would say the majority of the work was from the front and a superb job from the footplate crew, cheers 👍
A wonderfull day for steam today with a super show from 45407 and the crew Nige, fullmarks for the opening pan, with the chance of it getting dark if delayed a good choice at K/Stephen with great results, cheers Steve . 🎥👍

Lovely coverage Nige great to see another black five in the nortern Fells Thanks Brian
Thanks Brian, we’ve done very well recently with Black 5s after a lean few years and it’s alway great to see them working hard, cheers nige👍
Ooh sound was spot on over shap summit - vision was perfect also - thank you for sharing this with us much appreciated
Many thanks Louise you’re very welcome, this was the last of the steam charters over Shap this year so we couldn’t have asked for a better finale, cheers 👍
Excellent footage Nige, so good to see the Five allowed to show what she can do on Shap especially with one of the best drivers at the regulator
Many thanks Austin, an outstanding performance from 45407 and an excellent crew just shows what these locos are capable of and a pleasure to watch, cheers 👍

Beautiful video Nige!!
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed watching, cheers 👍
Fine display from her on the grade working hard and in fine voice at the yard.👍
Thanks David, the Black 5s never disappoint when you get performances like this, cheers 👍
Great shots of 45407 nige. I saw it later at Crewe with matching livery 57s. Also a look in the coaches , 5 star luxury!! 😲
Thanks Phil, great to see 45407 with the Northern Belle, does look smart with the 57s in matching livery, bet you were tempted by the luxury, cheers nige👍
@nige7577 certainly was 5 star luxury!! Very tempting, although the price might put me off😄
Great video Nige in what turned out to be a great day to see a Black 5 climbing Shap, thanks for sharing. I ended up at Greenholme and at Armathwaite.
Thanks Alistair, a superb ending to the steam specials without doubt and in the hands of Ian Riley’s finest couldn’t have been better, luckily the rain stayed away and the light on the return was better than expected, I wondered where you might be, cheers 👍

Excellent footage there Nige of 45407, climbing Shap she sounded superb and a very rare mainline run, south of the border?
Thanks Andrew, we certainly saw the Fusilier at her best and singing beautifully up Shap, cheers 👍
Nice 👍
Saya melihat kepulan asap dan itu ternyata keluar dari cerobong kereta api 😊
Thanks you, glad you enjoyed watching 👍
👍
Thanks Russ, cheers 👍
I was gutted yesterday nige because I missed it at garsdale and Hellifield so I went to Bentham but no whistle and for a last minute dash
