Another of my Footplate videos at the GCR but this is the BIG one quite literally. Despite this being a Gala Weekend, this video unashamedly concentrates entirely on the BIG 2100 9F 92214 and was filmed over two complete runs on Friday 2nd October.
As a former BR Fireman I have done many miles on 9F's so the opportunity to do a few more with two other former BR men, ex collegues & friends (fully authorised I might add) was impossible to miss & it was a real pleasure to get my hands dirty once again.
Although rather long at 40 minutes, (and maybe a little repetetive, as working a steam loco is!)which was never intended but I hope that those who love the 9F's or just want to see a little of the work of Driver & Fireman will enjoy it nevertheless.
My thanks to both Alan's & the GCR for making this video possible.

Note: Further footage taken of 92214 in 2012 when she was 'Cock O The North' on the NYMR prior to moving to the GCR can be seen at    • 92214 Meanders Down The NYM on A Sunn...
