Perfect Conditions 22

Continuing the Perfect Conditions series we see 35018 British India Line on a Lune Rivers Trust Special early doors at Starrick's Farm shortly after restarting from slipping to a stand . The weather was perfect with no wind to speak of and sunny conditions.

Good stuff Steve, excellent work by the crew that day after the slipping

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Austin, did think at the time that 35018 might not get going without help .

[@johncamp2567]

A lot of anticipation in this video.

BIL was made to work just there!!
Typical wheelslip but well controlled!
Thanks for sharing.
Al.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Alan, did think at the time 35018 might not get going again without assistance but a great display from all concerned 👍

Forward movement was almost non-existant at the start, but watching the shadow of the plume of smoke move over the adjacent field showed that things were coming along nicely, gaining a few feet at each exhaust stroke. A very different 'Perfect Conditions'.

Reminds me of the struggling freight trains of the 50's and early 60's!! 🤔

Steve, this collection of "Perfect Conditions" videos is literally Oscar-winning. I love how the singing Robin is trying to upstage BIL in the above.!! I can't get out much now, so these are a special treat. Regards, Nic (NJHvideo).

[@TheStephengthompson]

Cheers Nige , right place that day as the conditions were totally different at Clapham 🤷

[@deauvilledad07]

Thank you very much Daniel, pleased you enjoyed the video.

[@1959thornhill]

Certainly one of the best. Sounds like the barnyard was really enjoying the view as well. And love how the moving shadows paint the hillside. Terrific work Steve.....Dave

@@TheStephengthompson ,Hi Steve, Yes indeed, Thanks for reply...Dave 🚂🚂😀👍👍👍

[@FeckHallBahn]

Fantastic capture. The exhaust beat sounds like a particular horn students of mine whose sound is wonderful but only the sketchiest grasp of rhythm!!

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks for the very kind words as they are much appreciated. Regards Steve

After further reviewing of #22 and #10.....10 is still top dog.

[@tattoo1084]

Super sound and clag. Remember the video well.👍

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thank you very much David, right place that morning I must admit 👍

[@ezekielesquivel6936]

Perfect conditions 10 just may have been lost its #1 spot. I will have to study them both closely.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Ezekiel, glad you enjoyed the video 👍

[@SimonTog]

Very well done Steve, super sound :)

[@TheStephengthompson]

[@eaglesfield102]

Another great video Steve, how are you managing with the lack of steam at the moment?

[@TheStephengthompson]

Cheers Alistair, bit boring although I suppose I could always do Haverthwaite 😀
