I don't care what anyone says, or what figures anyone can produce about efficiency, reliability, pollution or anything else, the day we stopped employing these iron behemoths to move people round the country was the day the heart and soul went out of our nation!
Perhaps the very heavy train would not have been so heavy if it had not been quite so full of fish , chips and Yorkshire pies! Compare and contrast the typical tripper in the seventies and nowadays. The point was made to me at a Pendle Beer Festival in Colne a few years back. They played a rolling video loop for most of the day on Nelson and Colne back in the seventies. No dodgy knees or zimmers then. Great film of NYMR though, my wife and l have just joined, looking to help recommission Dame Vera Lynn.
Ha! I saw the thumbnail image on RUclips and instantly recognised Grosmont station. My wife and I did a 9 week UK/Ireland tour 6 years ago and did the tourist steam run from Whitby to Pickering return. That was a great day. I have a canvas print of a photo I took of Grosmont station hanging on the wall of my train room here at home 16,000km away. We did Elizabeth the steam traction bus too in Whitby. What a hoot.
Yeah the stations on the NYMR are so iconic, and so easily recognizable. Or is that just because i like to spend as much time there as i can? Hmmm. I would always recommend at least 1 trip to any visitor, always a great day out, glad to hear you enjoyed it.
I dunno who SO many drivers just WON'T use the sanders, but would rather risk buckling a con rod - the way that happened on one of Gresley's Pacifics a few years ago. Why do they think that loco engineers fitted the damn things? (and yes, I HAVE worked on the footplate - okay?)
Is it just me or is the driver being really clever. He couldn't get any adhesion coming away from the platform. But then he looked out. Was he judging when the wheels would go over the crossing and then apply more power as they did. Was his thinking there would be dirt and grit on that bit of rail and therefore more friction ???
Yes, she has carried a couple of names during preservation, sure she was also named Aldcroft for a while. Must admit to being a fan of 45407 (despite being a Gresley man), been behind her on railtours all over.
Lovely scenes and sounds, well filmed. Disappointed to see a modern electric tail lamp on an otherwise authentic steam era train. Why not use a lamp from the same period?
Thanks! As for the lamps, i would've assumed that it would be for greater visibility, although DS Rail mentioned that they are also used for mainline as well

LOL....Tool...
They all look and sound the same. Give me a diesel any day.
@@aureol40012 You have no soul sir! How can you say "they all look the same" and suggest that those diesel-electric bricks don't?
Diesels all sound the same!!

Can't really mistake it for anywhere else can you? It's so easily recognised..

These machines have souls!
Wonderful film. You could almost smell it!
Thanks, glad you liked it
Electric Locomotives: I'm fast and smooth
Steam Locomotives: Fast and Strong
nah steam is : im mechanical and cooler and older
Old is gold brother
Only eight coaches! Not heavy at all. Just the rails were a little moist that's all.
Thanks for sharing
Lovely footage
Glad you enjoyed it
i just love nymr, you just cant beat steam, nice filming mate.
Yeah, the NYMR is my go to railway, always enjoy every visit. Can't wait for lockdown to end so i can go back.
@@Daniel-go4ux you and me both, keep up the good filming.
I looked inside the Saloon and was like "Huh... so that's what it's for."
Never been in it myself. Hopefully will be soon though!
I’ve been in before, it’s so nice
Guy handing something to the engine driver at the start of the video, looks looks Prince William :)
It's Magpie!!! Glad to see she's running again!!
Unfortunately she is awaiting overhaul, this was taken prior to her being taken out of service
@@Daniel-go4ux well thats not good news now is it..........
@@Daniel-go4ux she is now
Henry takes the express and other stories
44806 is the only black 5 i have in train sim 2021 and didnt even know that it still runs!
Surely you should have more than that? Unfortunately 806 is out of commission at the moment, as she is undergoing overhaul.
@@Daniel-go4ux i do not have a lot of DLC i just have the 44806 from purchasing the east coast mainline
Ah i see, sorry, i thought you meant that you only had 44806 specifically, not that you meant the Black 5 in general.
Is it just me or is the driver being really clever. He couldn't get any adhesion coming away from the platform. But then he looked out. Was he judging when the wheels would go over the crossing and then apply more power as they did. Was his thinking there would be dirt and grit on that bit of rail and therefore more friction ???
There's a bit of a ramp just before the crossing that affects the weitgh distribution, once you're up it things improve.
Very well done
Very good video .Enjoy it
Glad you enjoyed it
@@Daniel-go4ux love the video .take care
44806 sure it was called "magpie" when she was a llangollen railway she is 1 off my favourite loco's
Yes, she has carried a couple of names during preservation, sure she was also named Aldcroft for a while. Must admit to being a fan of 45407 (despite being a Gresley man), been behind her on railtours all over.
@@Daniel-go4ux yes "keneth aldcroft" was also another she is a beautiful loco
A bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a " heavy train"
those people at 3.15 should be looking at the train going through tunnel not yaking to each other.
Was that on purpouse?
Solid! Cheers.

Probably come from Whitby so needs a big railway compliant tail lamp.
Nice,
Nice
yes ok
We Americans love our steam engine trains ❤️❤️❤️❤️
