It's a mighty fine piece of film, that and No. 9 has always had the reputation of going like a rocket. The chap driving the car must know how fast she was going and from the way he cuts through the traffic it must be over 70.... I think it might be best to appreciate the film and leave it at that, unless anyone who was there or involved is prepared to make a definitive statement?

Very much like the recent film of Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, only better subject matter! 
Don't tell my colleagues at Tyseley!

Filmed by (I believe) the same people over the same stretch of line more recently. You ought to find it on YouTube in fairly short order.
Someone did post a link on here IIRC.

Ay up!
She's certainly giving it big licks, that's for sure. Always a nice sight, a loco working hard.

Don't forget the up-to-10% leeway allowed in speedo calibration.jwealleans wrote:...The chap driving the car must know how fast she was going and from the way he cuts through the traffic it must be over 70....
