If you want the real thing...

'Sister ship' Duchess of Sutherland operates mainline steam specials.
I think that it is the only one of its class remaining but am willing to stand corrected.

It is not long since it emerged from a major overhaul.
In all honesty this video will not set the pulse racing but at least you can get a good view of the Duchess.

I've always been puzzled why they built locomotives so difficult for the engineer to see ahead, except for a couple of front cab specials. It wasn't until the modern diesel-electrics that they put the engineer up front. Maybe they wanted the engineer to keep the fireman company.
