Sadly I never had a chance to record steam over Stainmore, so with a flavour of what it may have been like, click on the sound icon for a memorable recording of BR Standard 4, 75014 with 7 coaches on the climb to Slochd on the Highland Main Line 12/10/1997. It starts on the 1:60 approaching Culloden station then over the easy grade of Culloden Viaduct (No such luxury at Belah!) then back onto the 1:60, despite the rubbish coal Bert Hitchin has her feathering shortly afterwards. I very much doubt many runs on the Stainmore line were done in this fashion, over 25 minutes almost continuously at Full and 45%! And the Western Region didn't think the Standard 4's would be a match for a Manor!
