Steam in 2023

Hi All,
Here's a great video of 45699 Galatea (in the guise of 45562 and 45627), on 30 July, attacking the Devon Banks with 9 on and WITHOUT the assistance of a Class 47!!

If you don't want to see all the video (although the cows were very interested in the cameraman at 4mins 50secs!), scroll forward to about 11 minutes in.  I was willing the old girl not to stop!  What a magnificent performance - I hope you agree

Hi Ged,

Thanks for posting this video, as you said a magnificent performance especially considering the atrocious weather - I was reminded of "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" from my childhood books!!

Regards,

Stephen

Hi All,
45699 is certainly earning her keep!!

Here she is, yesterday, in the guise of 45627 Sierra Leone with The Dalesman with 11 on and no helper, AGAIN!!.
I just love the sound those Jubilees make!!
