Good Afternoon! I can´t say I am having a good time lately, so I am not much of a social person these days. Just dropping by to say hello to my friends and enjoy some of the virtual food my doc tells me not to eat any more. Here is today´s riddle! What´s better than a Black Five? Why, of course, two of them - filmed in the Scottish Highlands 4 years ago to this date! <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Nl0EspIEW9k" width="425" height="350"></iframe> Designed by William Stanier for service on the former London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the class 5MT 4-6-0 proved to be one of the most successful design in British steam engine development. Over 840 were built, but only 18 survived of this highly popular steamer. It´s role on UK rails during the steam era is quite similar to the of the former Royal Prussian Railway Administration´s class P8 4-6-0 of 1906 design, which saw over 3,800 built and became the best known steam engine in Germany, pulling express trains, commuter trains and freight trains. The P8 saw service until the very end of steam service in 1977. Enjoy the video! Ray - congrats on your well-deserved achievement!
