Cannot believe I haven't managed to ride behind this locomotive since 2008 when it first ran at the GCR in grey primer. Well, it was worth the wait! Managed to get some really good shots in amongst the crowds at Nene Valley Railway. Look out for the photo gallery at the end. Enjoy!

My second 'Top 10' video, and it is a cracker! A selection of moments that I have recorded between August 2023 - August 2024. My No.1 moment of '44806' was the most recent out of the 10, recorded on 10.08.2024... it inspired me to create this video as it gave me goosebumps. Enjoy!

My first visit to the West Somerset Railway for their Grange, Manor and Hall Weekend! They had four operational locomotives running, including newly built 6880 'Betton Grange' which I videoed being manually rotated on the turntable at Minehead - one of the railways unique bits of theatre. Enjoy!

My third year in a row visiting the GWR's 'Festival of Steam' gala, and what a lovely day for it. The first time I have managed to plan to ride behind all 8 operating locomotives, including newly built GWR Class 6880 'Betton Grange'. Took a trip on the 'break' van trip as well later on in the video. Enjoy!

My first time visiting the Churnet Valley Railway and what better time to go than a gala. Some big names including GWR 4079 'Pendennis Castle' and 75014 'Braveheart' (without nameplates), along with the USA S160s who double headed later on in the afternoon. Enjoy!

Finally, I got to ride behind one of my favourite steam locomotives. After boiler repairs, '92 Squadron' is back on the rails at Nene Valley Railway. Videos from different timings, stations and angles, this train really is close to my heart (if you couldn't tell from my channel image)! Enjoy!

For my first trip in 2024, I visited the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway for the first time. Quaint little line with fantastic scenery and a fascinating history. Also my first ride behind a GWR small prairie - the railways only steam locomotive. Favourite moment was capturing it travel across Horsenden Lane level crossing near Thame Junction. Enjoy!

I took my last opportunity of the season to visit the GCRs 'Last Hurrah' Gala, featuring their home fleet of British Rail Locomotives. I didn't get as many clips as I would have liked simply because I wanted to enjoy my final steam day of 2023, but here is what I managed to get. Enjoy!

A trip to one of the best heritage railways for English scenery - seaside views and beautiful countryside. This video is split into two days, one as a train spotting day and the other as a day rover on the line. I spotted the tender of BR Standard 4MT 76084 so I integrated a little flashback section to some videos I took of the train the last time I rode behind it in July 2023, before its overh...

A visit to the Didcot Railway Centre for their annual steam gala proved a very different experience. Being able to get up close and personal to the breathing hearts of GWR 4079 'Pendennis Castle' and 2999 'Lady Of Legend' made for unique viewing of steam locomotion. Enjoy!

I made the trip to the wonderful Yorkshire Moors to visit the NYMR for their 50th Celebrations. I captured some great shots over the weekend, most of them coming on Saturday, including Gresley's safety valve being so powerful that it made my audio go crackly on one occasion! Was an incredible event. Enjoy!

The GWSR traditionally offer incredible steam galas each year for enthusiasts old and young. A special visit from 9F 92203 'Black Prince' in June 2022, along with impressive home fleet locomotives. In May 2023, I took the opportunity to explore Gotherington Station where I was able to capture the rare site of a GWR Hall and Castle Class double-header, as seen in my Top 10 series: ruclips.net/vi...

I timed my visit to the KWVR this year with a Ride the Legend trip on the 'Flying Scotsman'. I filmed one of my favourite scenes of the people's train flying through a stunning Oakworth at 10:42am - also featured in my first Top 10 video here: ruclips.net/video/CPV7DWaPRi4/видео.html. Clips of the heritage railways home fleet in action were also captured throughout my time there. Enjoy!

This video shows some clips and pics I took during steam galas hosted by the Great Central Railway! The first selection comes from the Autumn 2021 gala featuring a double-headed 9F demonstration, and the second from the Winter 2023 gala featuring a double-headed Standard 5MT demonstration. Enjoy!
