Description
Following completion of winter maintenance, LMS Black Five 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' runs a whirlwind tour of the North West, culminating with a visit to the Derbyshire Spa Town of Buxton with "The Buxton Spa Express", with plenty of steep gradients to test the Stanier 4-6-0 en-route.

We start our day catching the 'Five' past Holme Chapel, tackling the 1 in 68 gradient to Copy Pit, where the train's progress is slowed following adverse signals. A quick dash down into the Peak District, where we catch 45407 once more on the final leg of the 1 in 58 climb towards Buxton, passing through Barmoor Clough Tunnel.

During the tour's pause in the Spa Town, the train is stabled by the site of former Buxton Shed 9D, now Hogshaw Nature Reserve. Following departure from Buxton, the tour returns north via the freight line towards Chinley, climbing the 1 in 90 Gradient through Peak Forrest, paired nicely with a range of semaphore signals surrounding the local area.
