80136 was steam tested last week and made its first movements around the yard since October 2019. During this steam test and as part of its annual exam, a full brake test was carried out.
This video shows the process of lighting the locomotive up, seeing the process of testing the vacuum brake and then it’s first movement up and down the shed.

The methodical nature of the work is definitely familiar to anyone in the worlds of Aviation and Railroading. It is a pleasure to watch this.

What a wonderful video, I have really missed visiting the NYMR this year, can’t wait to visit 👍.

Good to see the Standard Tank back in steam once again

Love the Standard tanks. They look right because they are right. Perfectly proportioned. Great video and I look forward to seeing 80136 again on our next visit.

Thanks for that. 38 years firing on the Talyllyn we always got the pyramid of wood well alight before adding small quantities of coal; doing it any other way usually resulted in a slow fire and a niggle Driver! Have a good 2021. LM

Fascinating insight in what it takes to get a 'kettle' fired up and the lost skills of our railways and watch a real 'pro' at work

G'day everyone, I particularly liked the view and sound of the mechanism working at a followable speed. Most satisfying viewing. Gj Tas.

Hi. Excellent stuff. What video camera are you using? The colors are beautiful and the shadows are so clear. Am thinking of buying a camera and want to consider the camera you are using in this video, if it is within my budget. Thks.
