During a recording session in one of my favourite spots on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway between Damems Loop and Oakworth I was pleased to be able to get another recording of the 'new' Austerity WD 2-8-0 90733 which, as this recording begins, has been waiting for a Keighley bound train to pass.
With the train from Oxenhope safely out of the way and the points and signal set, 90733 makes a really fine sound heading for Oakworth.
'Storming' is a word that I often see describing loco performance, often in the caption to a photograph where the loco so described clearly isn't storming. Making lots of smoke is not storming. It's a word I usually avoid using but, this time, I think it's a fair description!
Oh yes, one other thing, listen carefully as the loco drifts into Oakworth - did you detect a clank?
