Ashley, three great videos you posted! Is the Brit the same one I filmed at Alan M's last September?

it is, the prototype from kingscale. p.s any owners, we were originally disapointed about the lack of a dropping grate. on the last run i spotted cut outs in the frames just behind the trailing driving wheels, it was a case of a bit of bent wire through this hole, to give the best raking out of the ash pan and cleared out the debris almost totally. on a previous run we gave her a final stoking of anthracite and she ran for 22 mins before running out of steam!!

those coaches are one ex alan marsden mk1 and three g.r.s b-sets, the one with "frosted windows" is mine and currently for sale . we do also have a rake of kingscales and they look great too-see other videos at my channel wattam100 for further britannia, 14xx and pavie loco's, as well as alan marsdens jubilee.
