Jubilee and rake of Staniers

A certain someone on here seemed to get a little dewey eyed reminiscing about the rake of Staniers he sold to me.

So whilst test running a second-hand "Hong Kong" that I bought for a very reasonable price I thought I'd make a little video for him.

@newportnobby this Jube's for you.

taken a few seconds before the cat attacked?

Sorry about that, the station cat was getting a bit yampy. He's pretty good, he leaves the train alone when it's moving, it's only when it's stationary it's at risk.

Thanks for the vid but, yes, my cat would have taken the lot off with one blow of a paw!

Yes, saw puss in the video.... a CATastrophy avoided!

I'm starting to understand why you're in Australia!

It's good to see Nobby's rake has gone to a good home.

Crimson and cream is my favourite livery.

Great loco, too.

I seem to have developed a fetish for Jubilees (five and counting). I picked up this one "Hong Kong" on ebay for £62. It's a little grubby and the name plates have been put on badly, but it runs like a dream. It'll be getting a repaint into something non BR hopefully, that should sort the grime and the plates. I've got Rodney in BR green and may have another Hong Kong coming.
