This video was taken at Lock Lane signalbox near Sawley on the Castle Donnington Freight Line. Bang on time, the Castle coasts through at about 15 mph, as there is a big junction up ahead.

The locomotives featured in this video are (in order): LNER A4 4-6-2 60019 'Bittern' BR ...

This video was meant to be uploaded tomorrow (22nd November) but seeing as I am away I thought I'd upload it early. November 22 2009 marks exactly one year since RSH Ugly 0-6-0ST 56 passed her steam test, the final barrier between her and running again. She moved under her own power for the first time and hauled her first trains for 7 years just 4 weeks later. To commemorate this I have compiled a selection of my favourite clips of this magnificent Industrial Stalwart, the locomotive who has ...
