Not being a technical man on these issues , I would just guess that the 57 was providing about 25/30 % of the traction on the climb to Shap . Somone might be able to elaborate on that . Still a fine show from the 5 .

Excellent video, thanks for posting. Brilliant Stanier action! I used to be a regular on steam tours, but no more as I don't want to be shut in with no opening windows and would not enjoy the current trend of being "shoved" by a banking diesel. There is no way that a "5" could attack Shap on its own with 11 on at this speed. Not sure what the modern answer might be apart from lighten the load or double head, but this of course would mean less punters with the associated additional cost.

😅s.Well said there 12 Crepello . Some good points . The crews certainly doing their very best to put up a good show for the punters . Unfortunatley the 57 is needed to power the air conditioning / air braking / and CDL its not just the question of the ability of the Class 5 . This is all due to the ORR ,s directive not allowing non CDL fitted Mark 1,s on the main line anymore . All very unfortunate ,lets hope things can be resolved in some way .

@@edmundbrain456 Yes I agree. I know the diesel is there for electrical power but this can be solved by providing a generator car. This has been done in some cases. As for air braking surely the locos hauling this stock are air brake fitted? Or are the brakes operated by the diesel? How many main line registered steam locos are air brake fitted? I'm sure it's quite a few?
@edmundbrain456

@@12crepello You could be right about the air braking Crepello 44871 has air brakes so could look after that side of things but the other 2 issues need the diesel . Yes regarding generator coaches that i understand can be a solution ,but not certain how many if any apart from LSL have a generator coach. LSL themselves prefer a diesel in their consists because they say its more efficient than a generator coach and the diesel is useful for shunting and reversing the coaching stock at many of the destinations they go to . Good to talk about the situation anyway . Cheers for now Edmund .

Sorry forgot to answer your query about which locos are airbraked .Only 34067 in the West Coast fleet are air- braked at present but the Ian Riley 5 ,s are so fitted hence her use yesturday . Most if not all of LSL,s fleet are now air braked as far as I know . Vintage Trains locos at Tyseley are vacummed braked only .
@AndreiTupolev

Well, the air con coaches had to be used because they're fitted with door locking, and West Coast have famously argued the toss for years about that, and a diesel would always be needed to provide train supply. And so an air braked loco is needed, and apart from 34067 the only ones Carnforth can call on are Riley's Black 5s. Thus it's a combination of circumstances

Going great guns and very well filmed. Sadly, these days I rarely get to see steam working out properly on the main line. Carlisle and its environs are great for close-up but with a 20 mph limit in all directions - - - !

Some fantastic footage here, she sounded absolutely fantastic. I saw this tour at Crewe and although at first I was somewhat disappointed that it wasn't the 86, the amount of thrash 47815 was giving off made up for it, she was in fine form
