[@TheBuccy]

So ,an engine built from iron and steel by British Labour, dug out of British mines powered by coal dug out of British mines whats not to like?

[@atulkumarsharma6489]

The engineer and the coalman are the real heroes. Hats off to them.

[@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge]

Incredible

[@wirksworthsrailway]

It is impossible to watch this and not think "Racehorse". Magnificent and a very good effort, especially as the A55 can be a bit busy at that spot.

[@Englishsea24]

Those trains really have some pace in them

[@johnelliott2364]

Built in the time when Britain built the world's trains. We have now shut down most of our railway industry and import locomotives from Canada and Spain!!!!!!

[@TheBuccy]

And Japan that fail due to fractures near the jacking points on their chassis.
BTW those points are usually on the srltongest parts of the chassis.

look at her go

[@gerrard1144]

how fast was she going?

[@malcolmtott]

She was travelling at just under 70mph which why she gets in front of us as we approach the A55 Colwyn Bay exit where the road speed limit is 50mph
