No matter which locomotive you pursue to film nor the location of where you are able to capture them, the quality of the cinematography is always spectacular. The sound just envelops your audience, and the angles of the shoots are always so immersive, placing your audience alongside the action itself. Never has my time been better spent revisiting a wondrous country with such a rich heritage to its history of railways. Thank you for this incredible catalog of what was once a bygone era.
Reminds me of around 1956 at East Hyde viaduct near Harpenden when I got a scoop of a Midland Compound double heading a Scot on the up fast line, the only time I ever saw a Compound running. These two look and sound fantastic.
Fabulous boys I caught them at bowling green lane overbridge and it’s been 8 years since they last did a railtour together down through bromsgrove area
Everytime I watch these videos, I think of Thomas the Tank Engine and the voices of George Carlin and Ringo Starr as Mr. Conductor come into my head, but there's nothing wrong with that at all.
Fantastic stuff Liam & Phil! You certainly did well to get all of those vantage points even as a 2 man team! Great to see you both as always, sorry I didn't have too much time to catch up properly though lol. Regards, Dan
Well done Liam and Phil good camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on RUclips bye for now Philip
So you were trying not to show us how hard the diesel was working, but it was still obvious from its black smoke. Shame it had to be there, those two could have taken 12 up the Lickey unassisted, but 12 plus that diesel would have been just too much. Good filming even so, really enjoyed that.
3:12 conveniently cut out the fact that a chugging diesel on the back was far more than idle... steam spectators yet again with the derv doing all the work
@@TBone-bz9mp peole who pay a lot of money for what is supposedly a steam tour. a hideous pile of scrap on the bck may not bother you, but even standdard tickets for day trips cost 120 quid now plus getting to and from start point plus hotel etc, gb tours cost about 3k. wonder why there would be any surprise that a steam enthusiast parting with 3 grand for a steam tour might object to the work being down by diesel, a form of traction available for rather cheaper every single day...
@@lazerjet899overshoots8it's also to help the special charter fit into modern schedules. Steam engines often can't maintain the necessary diagrams to allow regular traffic to flow as normal so get a little help from the diesel at the back to keep to time if required.
@@Decrepit_biker whats the evidence on that and why has it only exploded as a thing in the past 5 years then? dont buy it, the train is presumably timed into a slot that is compatible with the speed allowed for the given loco...
@@lazerjet899overshoots8 helps steams up hills -so in other words destroying the whole point of steam on the mainline ie to see/experience them working hard as for break downs, the loco are maintained to required standards, either those standards are good enough or they are not, if not they shouldn't be on the network anyway diesel or not. is a 60 year old rust bucket 47 really all that much more reliable anyway...

Outstanding work as always Liam and Phil, what a performance from both the Black 5's...Bob
Excellent footage there Liam and Phil of the Riley Fives attacking the Lickey, both sounding superb.
OMG !!! Thank you so much for sharing ,Not only the video but the awesome sound too !! Black 5's forever :)
A beautiful sight and sound in the sun!
Fantastically covered lads!
Great catching up with you again, the lighting was perfect this morning
Regards, Liam
I saw these 2 at Lancaster train station along with Britannia yesterday
Pure joy! Thanks so much for this stunning video.
Absolute brilliant video just love the sound of the stream locomotives and the site of them keep up the great videos Bernard
Fabulous boys I caught them at bowling green lane overbridge and it’s been 8 years since they last did a railtour together down through bromsgrove area
Beautiful footage and great sound.
Saw them at Barnt Green, somehow they found 2 mins going up the bank
Liam & Phil, Great captures from the dynamic duo !! Regards, John
Great shots, I saw them at Twyford when they were just accelerating after a line change and the sound was terrific
Excellent video Liam and Phil. Great spectacular of them up the incline. Plenty of exhaust from 2 locos and the diesel on the rear. Kind regards C&A
As usual excellent smooth clear shots, thanks. As an aside only, the overhead in the first location is positively hideous!
Great clip ,really caught the drama
Two Mickeys ( yeah, that's what we called them) absolutely flat out up the Lickey! What a wonderful memory.
Brilliant capture :D
Excellent footage
Fantastic collection of clips!
Everytime I watch these videos, I think of Thomas the Tank Engine and the voices of George Carlin and Ringo Starr as Mr. Conductor come into my head, but there's nothing wrong with that at all.
A pair of fives barking like dogs excellent video
Gorgeous!

Cheers Dan, no worries. We'll catch up at some point.
Well done Liam and Phil good camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on RUclips bye for now Philip
Michael, Thanks as always. A new video should arrive this evening.
Super well done video :)
Great footage great sounds but even double headed a diesel is found on the back smoking.
What a marvellous video from all angles. Thank you!
Full thrash, brilliant.
Looks like being pushed?
Yeah the 47 is definitely helping out, you can tell by the amount of exhaust being thrown up from it
Ahhh I love steam engines
Not the biggest, not the most powerful, not the fastest. But if a single locomotive were to represent british steam it is the black 5.
The final sequence was especially good. Great locos: my favourite. LMS also had the best livery, and SR the worst of the pre-1948 companies.

Wonderful photography..orrible beaurocracy. Why do they insist on the 47 when two up...ruins it.

It not like two black fives on the head is gonna do nothing, besides who minds the odd Duff?
@@TBone-bz9mp they'll do about as much as they would on a preserved line. Me, I mind all duffs on steam tours

The spoon at the back is acting as a generator providing power for the coaches
That diesel on the back screws up an otherwise nice looking train.
Yeah, why do they put them?
If the steam breaks down there’s is something to tow it,sometimes to power the coaches and also helps steams up hills
