GWR 7029 Thunders Up All Stretton & Hatton Bank + Flying Scotsman !

- 7029 Clun Castle makes its first appearance of the year and it will go down as one to remember. A Great Western southbound run over the Welsh Marches line is very rare these days and the highlight would be the climb from Dorrington to Church Stretton. With 10 coaches in tow and a dead class 47, it would mean 7029 would have a near equivalent weight of 13 or 14 coaches to pull, so no half measures would be acceptable. I'll let the two opening sequences do all the talking, or shall I say barking !
After the early dramatics up Stretton, it was onto Llanfihangel Bank, where we capture Clun powering along at Pandy on the lower part of the bank, she was going well considering the load. A shame we just missed the sun on this occasion. Having covered the Marches we would finally capture the Castle Class near to home, where Clun made a thunderous night time climb of Hatton Bank to bring the curtain down on a fantastic day for passengers and linesiders. While we're no fan of seeing a diesel on the back, there's no way we would of witnessed the added effort that 7029 had to produce if it was just 10 coaches.
So, after the exploits of a GWR firm favourite, there was also another steam tour running close by and it just happened to be 60103 'Flying Scotsman' on its rearranged Cotswold Venturer excursion from London Paddington to Worcester. This is the kind of the bonus we like and I hope you like it too as the so called peoples engine was let out with 12 coaches and no diesel, you just love to see it, oh and she was going well !
I hope you enjoy the action from a very good day at the linesdide.

Lovely locations, beautifully steady camerwork, gloriously powerful locomotives.
Great video👍
All shots were superb but the first two were stunning.
Absolutely stunning photography, very well done!
Fantastic video. Simply magical the rhythm of steam locomotive. Thank you!
Glorious scenes of 7029 and Flying Scotsman in some beautiful locations :-)
Great video, wonderful shots with fabulous sound.

that first shot , what a black smoke , look at those birds flying!
nice vid touch and go with the sun at one point, had it not been out it would have been galling!!
Great smoke, any idea the kind of coal and from where I'm the UK? In Queensland Aust I understand coal from our Blair Athol field is favovoured for it's low ash . thanks jeff
We have been using Russian and stuff from Kazakhstan, not sure about the contents in this video.
Was the 47 completely dead then if so why was it there awesome sounds great video
Great to see scotsman unleashed on its own that's how she should run as all steam should
Hey David, the diesel at the back is to supply electricity for the coaches for anything such as nighttime or any other electric item.
Great footage - I think the first shot was not very climate friendly but great viewing ! Something about steam at night that quickens the blood - thanks for adding that clip. Your day makes me wish I was still linesiding 😢
Not climate friendly! Go back to the 50s and 60s and before the clear air act.
@@loco42041 I'm well aware of that being brought up in the 50s and linesiding in the 80s and 90s but we now are all aware of the effects of black smoke that can work against our steam railway heritage
There's no way to stop all smoke to the satisfaction of the extremist moaners. The public are fine with steam trains, only the obsessed and fanatical are not.
Very smoky. Bad coal or bad firing ?
Nice film BUT having just watched 48151 accelerating up top of Ais Gill unaided with THIRTEEN on.. I know which is a better prrformance. Castles look good with 7/8/9 on but seldom to they drag 10/11/12+ even with a diesel on the back..
Duchess/ Brit or Scot anytime.
Short supply at the moment so thanks you for showing CLUN
Sorry.. just mho!!!
I don't think the 47 was doing anything for most of this video, so that's GUV+POB+8+47 = load 13 roughly. Crappy comment from you I have to say.
48151 was built for freight with smaller driving wheels giving it a higher tractive effort for heavy, slower speed goods workings. The castles are express passenger engines. Lower tractive effort but higher speeds. They still had the guts to climb the south west banks unaided though but had the luxury of having South Wales steam coal in previous times!!
Very black sooty smoke - poor coal?
No, just hard working loco & crew.
Ironically, Scotsman failed at Slough on its return for that very reason
@@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf ironically Scotsman failed at Slough on its return for that very reason.
The diesel's pushing
Not sure why you put Flying Scotsman in the title as neither the loco nor the train bear that name. Clickbait? FYI the Flying Scotsman train operates between Kings Cross and Edinburgh; it doesn't run through Wales and it doesn't have GWR Caste class ;locos pulling it.
WTF are you talking about ? Yes, The Flying Scotsman does not feature in this video, correct ! Flying Scotsman, however, does ! The locomotive is known as 'Flying Scotsman' the train service is known as 'The Flying Scotsman'
Pause the video @10:07 and the google the locomotive number.
We'll wait for you......
@@davidknowles2491 I paused the video at 8:00 as I've no time for that over-hyped Flying Money Pit thing!
