It's very relevant as it's how the building team remembers it before it was scrapped in 1958. It also has the mods done by the SR to the cab, tender and other areas so it can't carry LBSC livery. It was always going to be BR black but in later boiler tickets it will carry other liveries.

Thanks Dave, they've certainly done a good job with it. Yes I have an ND filter attached to the camera lens.

@@themodster ,Hi Thomas , UV is recorded by your camera, UV might be better ,worth a try........Dave 👍👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂🚂

The description states that some parts of the engine are original, some of which are from the original 32424, but not all, nor saying which specifc parts. I'm aware some parts of the new engine are not from 32424 as you say.

Thank you Paul

Ivatt’s original is here in Doncaster museum to gaze at. Think of it in black!

It's unlikely to be out at weekends due to the more public and dining trains running.

It might have been wet in the tunnel where the slip occurred.

She certainly makes a fine sight and sound.

Sounding on top form.

According to the Bluebell website the boiler is from a GNR atlantic.

It's an Ex GNR C1 Atlantic boiler which is almost identical to the LBSC one the tender frames and wheels are original LBSC and the whistle and regulator handle are apparently from Beachy Head

I agree, she sounds very good compared to 563 which I think is the blandest sounding loco ever made

Thanks!

​@@Northerner_Transport_HubThose old Z port slide valves, coupled with lowish boiler pressures on Victorian era machines, are the most efficient sound baffles ever fitted to steam locos. TBF, comparing the T3, which wasn't the most cutting edge design when built, with the H2, effectively a modified edition of an up to date express loco, would be like comparing an N15x with a West Country Class. Looks like 32424, which sounds as good as it's appearance suggests, isn't going to have too much trouble with standard 6 carrige rakes!

Been interesting?

Cheers Luke, she certainly does. Looking forward to seeing her in action on public services.

Cheers

Cheers Simon

Thanks Dave. Good timing one might say

@@themodster Hi Thomas,Yes indeed,Thanks for reply .....Dave 😀👍👍👍👍🚂🚃

Cheers Dan, good to see you. It was certainly a grand show at Upwey.

Thanks Henry

Thanks!

Thank you Burnie.

Cheers Luke

Thank you Malcolm

Thanks Callum. I'd never seen her at all up until this point, apart from the 2019 Crewe Open day when she was just a bunch of frames, it's great to see her back.

Thank you, definitely so

Thanks Luke. A pity you couldn't get out for it. Compared to the rest of the shots, Bincombe hardly stands out given the performance Clan Line gave throughout the day. Getting it working at speed was certainly a highlight.

Thank you Simon

Cheers Henry

Cheers Malcolm. It's ironic how we've been waiting for rain, and then the one time we don't want it we get it. But it wasn't too bad in the end and resulted in a grand performance from Clan Line.

It was great to witness it passing at speed.
