Thanks Allan. It was quite remarkable how well we could see both the tours, it would've been even better if we'd also got 44871 at Newark as planned, as its very rare you can overtake two tours at once.
Saw them at Claypole level crossing, though the A4 almost gave me a heart attack as to begin with it was reported to be 40 mins early at Werrington Jn north of Peterborough, but nek minnit and to some relief it was 12 mins late!
Even though they're neither nasty looking nor characterless and you're being ridiculous. They spend most of the day not doing anything, blend in perfectly with the train and are necessary for train heating and shunting purposes. It's been the accepted norm for decades now.
More than anything because it lets them use steam locos they can't use otherwise. 61306 would be useless to LSL without the ability to run it on 12 coaches.

Excellent footage of 44871 thanks Tony Simpson
Great video of 2 iconic locos, the long chime was the stuff of dreams👍
Thanks David. Absolutely, that made the shot!
@@themodster amazing sight and sound, the whistle almost drowned out the platform Bert bellowing at everybody! but what was that announcer saying? 🤣🤣
That shot through Doncaster! Wonderful sight and sound :)
Thanks! That was certainly a winner.
@@themodsterreally shows it wobbling about over the points!
A4 saying Hi to her birthplace
Great to see Black 5 and Sir Nigel Gresley running out and about! Thanks for the vid!
Glad you enjoyed it
Now that was a proper day out!! Very enjoyable and many thanks for sharing, cheerz, Alan
Thanks Alan. It was a grand day out indeed.

Cracking video, many thanks for posting it 👍
Thanks Paul!
Great video of Sir Nigel Gresley and the black five running.
Thanks Josh!
Very good video content and nice to see you get to all those locations to see the two steam rail tours. Very enjoyable viewing. 🙂

A double steam run past at Doncaster is super awesome. Excellent video 👍
Cheers Joe

Brillaint video Thomas!
Thanks Henry
Fantastic stuff mate, great to see you yesterday and some great set of shots here! Regards, Dan
Cheers Dan, good to see you too
Excellent footage Thomas.
There is something poignant about an A4 passing through their birth place of Doncaster.
Thanks Callum. Hoped for a fast run through there and it certainly delivered.
6ooo7 first class thanks Tony Simpson
Nicely captured. Regards, John

Magnifique! Both of the Machines!
Anybody clocked the speeds of those passing?
WOW GREAT !!!!!!!!
Lovely collection Tom!
Looks like you had a busy day mate :)
Regards, Liam
Thanks Liam. Was a very busy day but rewarding in the end
It went past me on Friday, it was a nice surprise from the normal
Saw them at Claypole level crossing, though the A4 almost gave me a heart attack as to begin with it was reported to be 40 mins early at Werrington Jn north of Peterborough, but nek minnit and to some relief it was 12 mins late!
Saw myself in video thanks
Nice video Thomas :)
Cheers Simon
Anyone notice the Scottish Saltire on the Doncaster station Sign?
Can I use a bit of this footage in a video? You will be credited.
Yes that's fine
@@themodster Thank You!
Really wish they would stop ruining the image of these glorious beasts with those nasty looking, characterless diesels on the back
They're needed for train heating and such
Even though they're neither nasty looking nor characterless and you're being ridiculous. They spend most of the day not doing anything, blend in perfectly with the train and are necessary for train heating and shunting purposes. It's been the accepted norm for decades now.
Totally agree
Also used for banking as well. For example when LSL send trains down to Plymouth the diesel would help the steam up Hemerdon bank
More than anything because it lets them use steam locos they can't use otherwise. 61306 would be useless to LSL without the ability to run it on 12 coaches.
