Steam Trains at Speed On The Mainline - Volume 1

With plenty of spare time at the moment, I have finally had a moment to put together a steam at speed compilation, so sit back and enjoy these mainline monsters let off the leash in Southern England, operating upto the current permitted 75mph limit. Featuring 9 Locomotives: SR West Country ’Braunton’ SR Battle of Britain ’Tangmere’ SR Merchant Navy ’British India Line’ SR Merchant Navy ’Clan Line’ LNER A4 ’Union of South Africa’ LMS Royal Scot ’Scots Guardsman’ LMS Jubilee No. 45699 ’Galatea’ LMS Black 5 BR 7MT ’Oliver Cromwell’ Footage taken between 2009 - 2019 Foot note: Diesel locomotives “Tail Gunner“ The use of Diesel locomotives on some tours is because of operational reasons. Some of the tours run to destinations with no turning facilities, so the diesel hauls the train to a location where the steam loco can take over again. They are also used for train heating, assistance on steep gradients(especially during leaf fall season)
