Very nice. We got a good soaking for the return in absolutely foul conditions at Ais Gill.

[@nige7577]

Thanks Alan, had thought of Aisgill but glad I didn’t go after hearing you got a good soaking, think that must have been the wettest area in the afternoon, cheers 👍

@@nige7577 I'm just putting up the video now. It was damp! I went there to get a nice long scenic shot of it coming through Mallerstang. It turned out rather different.

Good stuff Nige (if you like streaks!)

Thanks Allan, yes I do like a streak, cheers 👍

Hi Nige,
Where are 'our' Stanier 5MT's?
Loaned out, perhaps?🤭
However, lovely footage of a 'Streak', and 'she' sounds well too. Was never a fan of them, I had a 'soft spot' for the LNE 'workhorses' namely their V2's!

[@nige7577]

Thanks George, unfortunately Carnforth only have Tangmere and Ian Rileys 44871 which are air braked as Riley’s other 5 45407 is at Fort William, 44871 has been working down south so that’s why we have Tangmere hauling just about everything else for West Coast, nice to see SNG for a change and sounding very nice indeed, still miss Green Arrow though and would be great to see her come out again so one can only hope, cheers nige👍

[@Geo46115]

@nige7577 Sincere thanks Nige for the update... Black 5's once so ubiquitous, eh?
