- Covering for the still out-of-action A1 60163 'Tornado', and after months of running in the West and South for the duration of the Summer on various excursions, No.9 returns to its old stomping ground for a run to the north! Ex-LNER Pacific A4 No. 60009 'Union of South Africa' on September 15th 2018, would take up the duty of working UKRailtours' 'The Talisman' from London Kings Cross to Newcastle via the famous East Coast Mainline in place of the poorly Peppercorn Pacific.
In this video, 'Union of South Africa' is captured on its voyage north at 4 locations, including a dominating display at 70mph, of pure LNER action through Doncaster, on the Down Fast as it heads it's train north. Also seen in this video is the A4 passing through Huntingdon, a passenger pickup at Peterborough, and it's 'splash and dash' waterstop at York. Also note, the locomotive displaying a "The Bon Accord" during it's trip, a steam service that used to originally run between Glasgow and Aberdeen in LNER and British Railways' days.
All shots filmed in Stunning 4K on a Panasonic VX980, with a Takstar SGC-598 Microphone.
EDIT: Thanks everybody for 100,000 views!
FURTHER EDIT: I never thought a video of mine would reach this stage... a heartfelt thank you to everyone for 200,00 views!

That thing was flying at Doncaster. Holy crap!!!
Love that steam pump noise makes it sound like it has a heart beat
Ace coverage of this workaday A4 lomotive & train of carriages. Lovely compilation. Thank you.
Excellent! Nice footage and lots of chime whistles to make the joy complete.
Fantastic! I miss those corridor coaches so much. The last one I was on was from Glasgow to Oban in the 1980s.
I took the boys to Darlington train station to see it steam past and what a sight to behold. We'd seen Mallard previously on the main line a few years ago being pulled by Tornado and had a day out with Bitern at the wensleydale railway but never seen a A4 flat out on the mainline . Least to say we were all impressed and the boys even more so with the crew waving back😉
Super shots ! 👍🏻
A pale shadow of its former self Donny,as we called it,was our sometimes weekly trespass,after the plant and sheds,we'd lounge on the platform trolleys watching the procession of steam locomotives,'Streak!' somebody would shout,we'd glance up from our fish paste sandwiches and flask tea to see Miles Beevor or Walter K Whigham thunder through.Playing on the WW2 tanks in the scrapyard overlooking the station limit was also a must,we fought Rommel most weekends...
Hi Jack , great compilation well filmed ..Dave
She was going really well through Doncaster. Great video.
Fantastic shots there jack. Enjoyed the video very much.
Excellent video. Well maintained machine ✌
Superb video.
good old 60009 keeping the king of the railways alive steam that is .
I used to watch Talisman and others from the allotments at the end of my garden in the late 1940', and 50's I neve thought I would be watching them as restored items. :-)
Saw these two amazing engines on the day cracking and saw them as a kid still think it's amazing the power is raw. Terry @leeds.
Excellent filming there some great shots of her accelerating through Huntingdon and Doncaster, and also leaving York. Union does know how to put on a good show!
An absolutely brilliant chase Jack! Think the Doncaster shot can be classed as one of the best shots caught of an A4! Well filmed, Thomas
Great vid by the way.
Superb and thankyou Sir
