I am not the greatest fan of GWR locos but this is a cracking video showing Clun Castle truly rising to the challenge that is the S&C. She is working hard with a heavy train and shows she is in fine fettle ready for some high speed running once she has left the Pennine challenge behind. Well done on a great and entertaining video. Absolutely brilliant!
Great work Liam & Phil for managing so many locations! All of those shots were lovely to behold and I particularly like Selside and Warrington Bank Quay. Regards, Dan
Thanks for the great footage -- she did the GWR proud -- great white steaming on wet rails !! - she even took a class 47 on a sightseeing tour too ! -- what a gorgeous lady she looks !! .
An excellent Video! All of it was great but the last one especially. A GWR Castle Screaming through the station at full speed (or rather what theyre permitted) . You must of had the hairs on the back of your neck standing on end. A brilliant video!
Wonderfull to see Clun Castle today Liam and Phill, great show I thought from the northern hills, many lovely locations, you managed to catch me a few time on your video 😅😊 cheers .
Which preserved Castle Class engine do you love watching most, Clun Castle, Nunney Castle, Earl of Mt. Edgcumbe, Defiant or Pendennis Castle? Or is it equal for all of them?
it is not called the long drag for nothing i remember going on the 10.25am from leeds to carlisle/glasgow c train in 1964 with a clan loco pulling 15 coaches un asisted up there at walking pace and commong back with a brit and still on time into leeds at 2145 at night
Congratulations to whoever was firing 7029, great job!
I second that! Maintaining the boiler at blow-off point while the loco was being thrashed for that period must have taken some doing!

Excellent footage there Liam and Phil. Nice to see Clun working over the Long Drag once again

Absolutely breathtaking videos, especially the curve, steam locomotive turning at full speed, thrilling feeling. Thanks for sharing.
Simply some of the best footage I have ever seen of a Castle loco. Brilliant, many thanks for sharing it.

Superb, thank you. Equivalent to load 13 (with the 47 attached). Loco and traincrew doing a great job at working the train in damp conditions.
Why equivalent?
Brilliant mate. Thank you.
Great video. She was certainly doing the maximum at Warrington befre shutting off. Thanks for sharing.
Super work Liam , good display I thought from the Castle especially on the S&C with the restrictions 👍
Magnificent video.
Brilliant photography of a loco well managed doing what it does best. Thank you.

just brilliant - thank you for sharing this with us much appreciated
Fantastic set of shots. Thanks guys 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent video Liam and Phil. Great sounds and plenty of exhaust. Great skill by the foot plate crew. Enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A
Top of the good work boys and the settle and Carlisle line is definitely the non GWR territory for clun
A nice video you have made Liam and Phil :)

Liam & Phil, Nicely captured and good to see the diesel idling on the climbs. The weather was the spoiler. Regards, John

Great video. Sounded nice on the s&c.

Ah - WBQ. It is amazing/annoying how many tour trains go through without stopping - so potential passengers have to go to Crewe or Lancaster.
Until the work at Carstairs is finished Carlisle is off limits to Steam Railtours due to capacity issues
