Black 5 No. 44871 STORMS up the Lickey Bank hauling the Worcester Steam Express

This video features the Worcester Steam Express hauled by Black Five No. 44871.
It shows two clips from the outward and return journeys which as you will see are quite different, the first being a sedate run past at Water Orton caused by an adverse signal then the return which was an assault on the Lickey Bank. Even with the banker giving plenty of assistance the Five put on a fine performance with a great exhaust and some whistles. So turn up the volume and enjoy the sight and sound of a Black Five powering up the Lickey.

Very nicely filmed John, hoping to see two 5s soon, maybe without any help from the rear, cheers Steve .

Steve, Two Fives shouldn't require any assistance but perhaps not on the Lickey. Regards, John

Fantastic John! Diesel had to step in though, seemed a decent load for a single 5, but she performed superbly Regards, Liam

@GreatBritishRailways1 4 ай бұрын

Liam, Yes quite a load and of course the diesel has to power the Electric Train Heating. Good to see you and the gang. Regards, John

Sometimes slow is good John but I bet the bridge was busy as it's a good viewpoint at WO. I suspected you'd be on the Lickey and it seems that the usual gang were on the other side.... I'm just not 'competetive' enough these days Lol. Regards, Brian.

@GreatBritishRailways1 4 ай бұрын

Brian, Not too many at WO to watch it crawl past. I was planning to video at Whitacre Jct. with the drone but the wind forecast was in excess of 40mph. The other side at Vigo was rammed but I always prefer the field side. It's two Fives up the Lickey next Sunday so here's your chance 😂 Regards, John

@@GreatBritishRailways1 the wind might have deterred a few & the overcast maybe the photographers. That's the Great Britain then but didn't know what was on it. I doubt I'll be joining the crowds. I've fired up it so many times nothing can compete lol. Regards,Brian.

There's bound to be someone saying "being pushed by a Diesel 😝" but if anyone expects a Class 5 to tackle 1 in 37 unassisted with 11 coaches then good luck to them. Certainly a fine sound there

@GreatBritishRailways1 4 ай бұрын

It was quite a load and not forgetting that the diesel engine is powering the ETH in the coaches. Thanks for watching and for your comment. Regards, John

There,s not idiots just being practical ,DL help was innevitable ,why do have to be so offensive in your language .6or 7 would have been the limit for a single Class 5 .
