Re: Smoothest riding class of NG power?

I got to ride in a SAR class 25NC twice. The second time in 1984 I remember the most and I was in the second engine of a doubleheader. Only time I ever sat in the engineers seat while running. I shot some video out the front window catching the first engine. What an experience. It was in 3405 and it was later shipped to Glasgow, Scotland where it was built, so at least it didn't get scrapped.
Here is a link to my combined previews for the South African material. There are a few clips in "Bloemfontein Steam" portion. Just watched the whole segment and reminds me this was probably the best steam I ever photographed in Regular service!!! Wish I was there back in the 80's again!!!.
