Loosing grip

6201 Princess Elizabeth looses her feet (much to the delight of the photographers) as she makes an enthusiastic start from St Helens this morning with the Cumbrian Mountain Express.

Excellent capture of the excitement of a restart. In a moment, the exhaust can change.

Makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Shocking driving though!

Scarey when a big steam loco starts to skid, all that power unleashed. You caught the moment well Cliff. I captured this train later today on its way back south on the Settle and Carlisle Railway.

Remember what happened to Blue Peter?
