i would suggest the the 33 was pushing up upwey bank, it seemed to me the steam loco was getting a little bit of a push from the 33. Upwey bank however it incredibly steep, so, as 33's are part of Weymouths rail history, to me a 33 is welcome even if i was a 33/2!
Superb sounds from the steam loco. An excellent video of the rail tour.

Steaming hot man!
No pushing up the bank I was in the support coach.
In winter this would have been a still greater view.
Sorry, but the Crompton is quite clearly taking some of the load on Upwey bank as indicated by both its sound and plume of diesel smoke.
The 33 certainly had power on up the bank and with 34052's leak, it would probably have needed it.
