Perfect Conditions 38

Continuing the Perfect Conditions series we see 60009 Union of South Africa approaching a snowy Shap Summit on a Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express back in 2013.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Glad you enjoyed it Allan 👍

[@deauvilledad07]

Nice one Steve. Nice little video of the A47 in the snow. 🤓

[@TheStephengthompson]

Glad you enjoyed it Anthony, can’t go wrong with steam and snow 👍

[@acw71000]

Nice clip Steve, it's odd how snowy conditions make it look like it was filmed in black and white until it comes closer

[@TheStephengthompson]

Cheers Austin, yes it’s always strange how it looks B&W when snowing 🤷😂👍

[@davesteel550]

Haven't seen that before, brilliant sound and vision despite the snow. Add a Streak for perfection.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Dave , luckily the snow that day was from behind and not into the lens 👍

[@tattoo1084]

Great shot and no assistance.👍

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks David, hopefully West Coast will get sorted soon enough to get unassisted tours running again 👍

[@user-cw9qn1nb2n]

Ah, those were the days, when a Pacific could be trusted to take 12 unassisted over Shap, in less than ideal conditions. I like the way the driver was very aware of the potential for slipping on that curve, and caught it almost before it happened, twice. An excellent piece of film.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Derek, must admit I do miss tours without a diesel but hopefully West Coast will be back soon enough unassisted 🤞

[@SimonTog]
