LMS 46233 The Duchess of Sutherland was at the helm of 2nd The Railway Touring Companies railtour The Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express from Manchester Victoria to Carlisle via Shap summit and back again over the Settle and Carlisle line . The tour started at Euston with two class 47's taking the train to Carnforth with 46233 taking over from there .The first shot sees the 46233 attacking the 1 in 75 gradient at a very snowy scenic Shap Wells with driver Peter Kirk on the regulator. The return would see a snowy Birkett Common as 46233 attacks the climb towards Aisgill summit . I decided to do Birkett again as with the snow being around and its not often the Duchess is out in the snow .Not my best pan at Shap wells so sorry for any wobbles .

Superb quality video, I must upscale it to 4K and see if it's any better.

Well done!
