Notoriously sure footed GWR loco's doing what they do best. 56xx Taffy tanks along with 42xx , 5205 and 72xx were built for slogging it out up welsh valley lines with coal wagons and spoil hoppers. No surprise with a good fire in that 5619 just thumped its way up the hill like its just another day.
+acw71000 Thanks Austin, great sounds always guaranteed on the Cauldron section. An S160 on the mainline would be a great sight ! I think the Jacobite route would be an ideal place at first.
Very nice footage Liam, and really good performances by the locos! the S160 is a handy Loco have around for those steep banks, although 5619 put in a typically plucky show for a relatively small Loco. Nicely captured and edited as always! Best wishes. Ken
+Ken Browne Thanks Ken. Good to hear from you. The S160 does a good job on the hillier sections. It's amazing to think that 5619 has the same power output as a Black Five. Thanks for watching & commenting. Regards, Liam
+Jim Young Believe it or not Jim but 5619 is a class 5 loco, putting it on par with a Black Five. The S160 is in a lot better shape than it was 18 months ago. Thanks for the comment.
Last time I saw this line some track was missing! Has it been put back in now right through to Caldon Low? It was quite a shock seeing an empty trackbed!

Raw power from them both and impressive smoke shots! I must go there sometime.
+Whitemoorkid A good little line ! Best to go when there running up to Ipstones.
A Lovely little line for great shots and sounds, and you got them all. Grand to see,
Thank you both. your films are always appreciated,
+Ernest Johnson Thanks as always Ernest. The line is very scenic & quaint ! The Cauldron section is in need of some serious work.
+Marsh Steam Videos™ you can say that again!
A superb compilation of all actions clips Liam, never been to this Railway....May get round to it one day!...Best wishes...Bob
I was on the first train out on the Saturday, it was a fantastic day. Glad you have made a good video of the gala as I never got chance.
+dsr150 Glad to hear you had a good day. Thanks for watching & commenting.
Good stuff Liam, terrific sounds from the locos. It'd be great to see an S160 on the mainline one day, great locos

Hi Liam, very good , like the chime of the USA. Also not too cold for filming I hope....Dave
+locomotive67 Was a bit chilly in the Staffordshire Moorlands Dave ! The S160 Does look & sound the part. Tyseley have done a good job on her.
Great stuff Liam.. Thanks for reply...Dave
An LNER A4 Pacific never visited the Churnet Valley Railway. Why is that?
I see the smaller engine ie 5619 took the same load up the hill as the much larger yank engine surprise surprise, loved the sounds though

+Marsh Steam Videos™ no wonder, they were used to hauling coal trains in Wales most of their Lives, but still a good effort up those slopes
Last time I saw this line some track was missing! Has it been put back in now right through to Caldon Low? It was quite a shock seeing an empty trackbed!
No, I don't think so. That section of line is owned by the Moorlands Railway, I think.
Locations on the climb are they near a road?
The main one at Bradnop is. It's located on a T Junction.
did u go on the Saturday or Sunday m8?
+nathan oconnor Saturday.
+Marsh Steam Videos™ thought I'd seen you at Consall
+nathan oconnor You might of have, I was there for the first trip on Saturday morning.
+Marsh Steam Videos™ aye I'm sticking head out of the window while try to take a picture of 5619
Very good video shame to see yet another industrial wasteland though.wonder how many people lost their jobs?
