i make up quizzes for couple of pubs and just stumbled on this, great to see it running, used to climb all over her way back when, used to keep her in a shed next to Markinch station in Fife, I lived a couple of mile away and me along with my kid brother and the two lads next door used to make that our day out, through woods and across fields to get to the shed, wasnt a big train follower but this 'thing' was a monster to behold, especially when you're 10 ! great to see her running. Thanks

Great video I saw 60009 pass Chester-le-street

[@allan5919]

Thanks very much Jock for watching the video and commenting and its really nice to see that it has stirred your memories of when you were a child. These classic steam locos finished their working life on British Railways in your neck of the wood in the 60s and have a great connection with that area of Scotland. Iconic steam locomotives. Best wishes - Allan.

Stations can be difficult I agree, when filming.

Only just watched this and remembered I was on it from Dewsbury, down for 9 hours Northbound from there, not sure how far off we were.

I remember that rail tour well Alan. I just wish we would get a few more through Newcastle these days. I think we do have one coming up soon however. Thanks for viewing.
