Join us in Cardiff Canton Depot when SR 34052 Lord Dowding arrives and departs on Saturday, May 4th 2019. Departing the mainline she climbs into the shed before leaving her coaches before the run round to Newport. Prior to the move, the support coach is detached before she takes on coal and water. The run to Maindee takes an hour. Later she backs onto the stock and departs to pick up her passengers at Central. Thanks to Alun and the team at Canton for their assistance in this video

Brilliant production and a wonderful insight into the background of the workings and preparation of a beautifully fully functioning preserved and restored steam locomotive. It's great that you had access to see and record the event and I really appreciate the effort of the people behind the scenes who keep up their work and also, least not forgetting a great job of the coaching stock. I really enjoyed this one.

Excellent Video - Thanks for sharing it. I'm in the US... and of course the Big focus right now for all of us Steam/rail fans is the UP 4014 leading a double header with the UP 844, now on their way to Ogden, Utah for the 150th Anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory Summit, Utah on May 10th, 1869 - which was the meeting of the Central Pacific RR and the UPRR and the completion of the first US transcontinental railroad. Anyway... I have a question for you over there in the UK.... how do you manage to run such "clean stacks" on your coal fired locomotives? Also, in regards to this particular locomotive, the "Lord Dowding"... what is the tractive effort and rated horsepower?

So there is no way of turning a loco these days i take it ? nice vid btw

@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways 5 жыл бұрын

Many depots haven't kept their turntables in working order. No need to turn new locos. Also, I believe, that steam is not allowed to rum at high sped tender first on the mainline
