34046 Braunton with the Golden Arrow 4 March 2023
A couple of shots of Braunton on the return leg of the Golden Arrow trip from Birmingham to Canterbury. The light was poor as it was such a cloudy day and darkness fell earlier than I had hoped, so quality is not the best.
Filmed at Headcorn and Hildenborough.

Coronation Class Duchess of Sutherland put on a great performance on the SWML as she hurried through Brookwood on a pre-Christmas tour to Bristol. Perfect conditions for billowing exhaust.
45231 The Sherwood Forester passing through Byfleet & New Haw Station 9 December 2022
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
Black Five 45231 The Sherwood Forester en route to Chichester in Sussex. Byfleet and New Haw station is always a tricky place to film as the risk of getting bowled is pretty high if you get in the best position to see the loco emerge onto the main line, so I played it safe and stayed on the down platform.
34067 Tangmere in the Medway Valley November 2022

On a day of nationwide rail strikes and a very quiet network, it was great to see unrebuilt Battle of Britain Class locomotive, Tangmere, heading the Medway Valley Pullman rail tour from London Victoria to Kent. A fine sight to see a "spam can" out on the main line after a long wait whilst she was in overhaul, especially as on this occasion she was sporting full Golden Arrow regalia. Filmed bet...
Unedited phone footage of very long American freight train

A departure from the usual stuff..... a very long CSX freight train, filmed at L'Enfant station, Washington DC on 26th July 2022. Despite this being a time of day when all the passenger trains stopping at this station had finished for the day, I still got caught out by someone walking along the platform, right across the shot.
45231 Sherwood Forester - Sunset Steam Express 12 July 2022 (NB: high pitched sound interference)

Its been a long time since I've seen any Black Fives out on the main line, so this certainly made a pleasant change. Sherwood Forester was on duty to take the Sunset Steam Express trip around the Surrey Hills. This was filmed from the footbridge at Gomshall station. Unfortunately, my microphone protested - I can only think it had something to do with the chunky metal footbridge causing the soun...
Clan Line with the End of Southern Steam 9 July 2022
Просмотров 9842 года назад
Clan Line was chosen this year to pull RTC's End of Southern Steam tour, marking the 55th anniversary of the day the last steam service ran on Southern metals. The trip ran outward from Victoria to Yeovil, with passengers being diesel-hauled the rest of the way down to Weymouth. After servicing at the Yeovil Railway Centre, Clan Line ran down to Weymouth to bring the tour back up to London Wate...
Clan Line with the Atlantic Coast Express 2 July 2022
Просмотров 4932 года назад
Clan Line was strutting her stuff along the Southwestern Mainline on Saturday with RTC's Atlantic Coast Express from London Waterloo to Exeter. Other commitments meant I was unable to chase along the route, but saw her on the outward journey just South of Wimbledon, and then at West Byfleet on the return. The second camera shot at Wimbledon isn't the best, but I decided to include it anyway!
Clan Line with the first Belmond Pullman Surrey Hills trip of the year

Clan Line in tip-top condition as always, pulling the Belmond British Pullman lunchtime dining trip from London to London via the Surrey Hills. The route was slightly amended from the norm, and the train joined the main line at Wimbledon, giving me the opportunity to film her Esher, a station that certainly doesn't see steam very often. I've used the footage from both cameras for this location,...

With Christmas rail tours still operating, today was a chance to visit three locations and see three different locomotives.

The second vantage point was just outside Shrivenham, where C...
A quick bit of 44871

On the fringes of Storm Barra, I had the opportunity to see 44871 joining the Southwestern mainline at Byfleet & New Haw, as she headed off on RTC's Christmas trip to Bath and Bristol.

Clan Line with the Rail Aid Pullman Special 21 Nov 2021

Clan Line had originally been scheduled to double head this special tour with Tornado, but unfortunately, Tornado had to be withdrawn at short notice, replaced by a Belmond liveried 67. Cold and bright autumn weather added to the magnificent sight of Clan Line powering along the straight line between Redhill and Tonbridge, seen here at Nutfield. Even a local squirrel found a good vantage point ...
Clan Line with the Hampshire Pullman 6 Nov 2021
Просмотров 8 тыс.2 года назад
It was great to see Clan Line following a route that rarely sees steam excursions. UK Rail Tours' Hampshire Pullman trip was, I believe, on a slightly different route from the one originally planned, following a rail accident earlier in the week outside Salisbury, which meant a part of the main line was still out of use. My first shot was at Godalming. Having been able to overtake while Clan Li...
35028 Clan Line in the Surrey Hills 29 October 2021

Clan Line on a lunchtime circular trip from London Victoria to to the Surrey Hills and back round to Victoria, pulling the Belmond British Pullman dining train. Saw her at Virginia Water and Gomshall Bank. Apologies for the lack of focus near the beginning - I think my camera kept trying to focus on the falling leaves instead of the main attraction!

(Although I have done it in the past and just got away with it).?The line from Staines, Addlestone etc loops round under the mainline, so the loco is generally putting in some effort coming up the incline onto the main line, which is always good to see. 😊 Hilary
