    A superb show from 45407 with very little rear end assistance as the Five tackled the long climb to Bibbington Summit. For the return leg I witnessed an unassisted climb through Tunstead Quarry with 45407 taking the whole consist up the 1/90 to Peak Dale. Great to have both the West Coast Mick's on the regulator, as you know your going to get plenty of front end effort.
