Thanks for braving the elements, Kris, to bring us a super record of this special event. Looking forward to seeing, and hearing, more of the Blue King - this is a real appetiser. Your customary excellent result, but given the conditions, you must have worked really hard to bring us the quality finish. Kind regards, Bob
It might not look or sound it, but, that wind was absolutely unforgiving, at times. I couldn't feel my fingers by the end of it, haha! Thanks for watching and commenting, as always, Andrei :)
Is it just me, or are there a lot of steam leaks? It looks as if the relief valves are opening on every stroke in the first long sequence. GWR engines with Stephenson gear used to do that at short cut-offa, but the King shouldn't as it has Walschaerts gear and is obviously working at a long cut-off , from the noise and gradient.
A dribbling cock. As Kieth Appleton would call it. ~ laughs ~ Some times cylinder cocks do not close properly after the condensed steam of the initial few strokes has been dealt with.
It seemed to be coming from the level of the cylinders rather than the cocks beneath them from what I could tell. Either way, a dribbling cock is a much more amusing explanation!

Love the sound of the whistle, love the sound of the carriages. Great work 👍🐨🇦🇺.
Muito bom.
Até é esta a versão de comboio que mais adoro.
Também este comboio King Edward II de 4 cilindros.
Looking & sounding good. Wonder if we'll ever see her on the main line. Would certainly look the part on the Torbay Express!
Hopefully someday, but, I doubt we'll see her on the main line during her current boiler ticket. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
Very good nice to see the King running. Adelaide south Australia

Great video. Nice to see the Blue King stretching his legs a bit. Sounds very nice!
Very fortunate with the weather, it looked nowhere near as windy as it was down here, and made for some quite superb shots through Eardington.

Doesn't steam come into its own when the temperature is low? Marvellous smoke effects and this clip has them in abundance! A Like no question!
Excellent Footage of King 6023 slogging away on the SVR!!
Thanks!
Great Video, very well captured...Regards Tom
Cheers, Tom :)
Good to see her back working on a real train...although it looks like there is still work to do.....Bob
I really wish I could see some locomotives like this in the United States. Our equipment is beautiful, but we have nothing so magnificent as this.
Beautiful Capture !!
Thanks very much! :D

Fantastic filming!
Thank you! :)
at 2:42 onwards, did you have to get special permission to go that close?
Fantastic set of clips. Could you enlighten me on how to reach the location at 3:18 please? Any info would be appreciated. Kind Regards.
Im guessing ill see you at the gala
Someone needs to sort out that leaking cylinder (if that’s what it is)!!

Must be running away from Robert the Bruce!!!
