    Like a recurring dream
    Power in coal, oil and steam"!
    Thanks for these well-caught scenes of a favourite locomotive.

      You can't really go wrong with a Brit. Good solid engines! I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.

    Brilliant shots. Although I would hasten to add, Has Britannia ever blown a whistle which isn't almighty? 😅

      Thank you very much Callum. You do raise an excellent point about 70000's ability to whistle. The toots at Marston Jabbett were a bit lacklustre, but she certainly made up for it later! I hope you enjoyed the video.

    Nice ,where’s the clip after Hemel from please ?

    • @Milepost90.25
      @Milepost90.25  2 года назад

      The clip after Hemel is a couple of miles north from Northampton station. These are the co-ordinates for the foot crossing (52.268295,-0.923506).
      I was approx. 200m south west of the crossing. I drove up the track from the entrance to Nene Way, off Mill Lane, for about a mile to reach the spot. I hope this answers your question and I hope you enjoyed the video.

      They run most weekends throughout the year in varying locations around the country. I hope this answers your question and I hope you enjoyed the video.
