57311 FAILS!! 4 loco SWAP over!! The White Rose at Crewe & Hartford, 17th April 2024

The White Rose railtour from Hereford to York.
57311 and D1935 took the ECS to Hereford and were to work back to Crewe where steam loco, 34046 'Braunton' would then lead to York.
Unfortunately 57311 failed at Hereford, so D1935 had to get on the front and lead back to Crewe, causing the tour to be nearly an hour late leaving Hereford.
First seen is 34046 leaving the depot and also class 47, 47828, which was to attach on the rear of the train to York.
After Braunton runs through the station the tour arrives, D1935 and 57311 detach and head back to the depot.
34046 then couples on the train and with 47828 on the rear, depart for York.
Finally seen , at night , returning thrugh Hartford.

I know i love my Stanier locos but these Bullied pacifics are really special Phil, it really was special filming.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Nick . Yes I know what you mean.

[@theretrocrowe]

Absolutely brilliant video, looked like a good morning at Crewe. At least it was the snatcher that failed instead of Braunton

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks, yes a great, but cold, morning. True, that would have been disappointing

[@PhilPage227]

What beautiful loco, very well filmed Phil.

[@philclarke3203]

Lovely video Phil like tbe 57 in B.R.lined black.Shame about the battery failing.😮😢

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Rick. Me too. My own fault, it was on 6% and I had plenty time to change it, thought it would be enough, but it suddenly died. Then my hands were too cold to grip anything 😬😂

At least it was the diseasel that failed and not the steamy. Steamies have a better will to get going.

[@philclarke3203]

Yes, the steam would have been greatly missed

[@MrTudwud]

As usual, too much steam and safety valve action.

[@RedShedNick]

Yes but incredibly atmospheric, all part of the beauty of steam oh and damn goid filming!
