- Well folks, it's that time again. With 2015 now under way, we take a look back at some of my favourite shots, moments and events of 2014. Particular highlights include 35028's first visit to a heritage line, Didcot's 'Once in a Blue Moon' event, which saw three BR Express Blue liveried locomotives together for the first time in over 60 years; 5029 and 5043's Z48 anniversary runs, 45407's stunning solo performances over the South Devon Banks, 62712 Morayshire's visit south of the border to the Great Central Railway, and 4464's run up the Lickey Incline.
A number of locomotives made their return in 2014; these include, 5541, 7820 'Dinmore Manor', 45690 'Leander', 4270, 5199 and 46447. As well as the returnees, 2014 also saw a number of locos bow out of service; including 5164, 34028, 5029, 4464 and 7F 88. We also saw the departure of A4s 60008 'Dwight D Eisenhower' and 4489 'Dominion of Canada' from the UK, as they made their epic voyage back to the USA, returning to their respective homes in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Montreal, Canada.
I would like to thank all the wonderful people, who worked so hard to make these events happen. I would also like to thank everyone who watched my videos, commented on them, favourited them, and subscribed to my channel in 2014; and I hope you all have a great 2015.
Enjoy.

As a small boy in the 1950s I was often put on a steam train at Taunton and told to get off when the train got to Paddington where my grandmother would meet me.The driver and fireman seemed to me to be very big men to little me.The train guard would always keep a eye on us lone travellers.They were happy journeys in more civilized times.You have brought back many good memories. Thank you.
Two hours of railway history filmed in stunning light and finished with this significant shot of two centuries of transport! Amazing camerawork and hours of patience result in a feast to the eye. Thank you very much, Kristian.
Thank you so much for sharing this and all of your videos! My ex-husband from 9/11/2001 and I just got remarried last Sunday 8/23/2020 after being in lockdown together since March 16th. We have so much in common, and a love of trains is one. After Covid, we've decided to make some of these rides our honeymoon adventure. ❤
A remarkable journey and thank you so much for sharing. Absolutely wonderful engines with their accompaniment.
Splendid film, as always. I love your choices of film angles and the landscape scenes are so beautiful. Thank you so very much for all your efforts and sharing the result with us. Please keep up the good work and take care.
38:47 WOOOOW!!!!!!!! Didn't expect to see that!
Wow! This is absolutely fabulous! I have always bemoaned the fact that camcorders came along only after steam locomotives disappeared. Thanks to RUclips, I can view these beauties again.
Thank you so much for sharing this outstanding video ! Superb.
One extra thing to enjoy with your videos - the views of the ‘green and pleasant land’. This compilation is outstanding. Thanks 👍.
I love train travel. The Steam trains were so special.
thank you! well done on all measures.
A tremendous line-up of shots, all put together very neatly and what excellent engines there has been (mainline or persevered) in 2014.
Thanks very much :) It was a good year, and 2015 looks set to be quite an interesting one as well.
Excellent content as always.
Hi speed to the West
Tu as fait un travail exceptionnel, cette vidéo est digne de la BBC, et d'être utilisée par les télévisons du monde entier.
C'est superbement bien filmé, je dirais même "mis en scène". Je pense entre autres à cette prise de vue depuis un poste d'aiguillage au Payse de Galles (vu les noms imprononçables pour nous, pauvres frenchies) et à la dernière séquence, dans coucher de ce soleil de Décembre. C'est tout simplement prodigieux.
Merci au Roaume Uni pour avoir su protéger autant de matériel et l'avoir maintenu en parfait état de marche, et merci à toi pour ce travail d'anthologie.
Sorry my frenglish could not pass my enthousiasm, I hope you'll get it in French.
Thanks for sharing this amazing video.
Great dedication, great locations, great camera control - a wonderful compilation to complement the work of those "up north". Thanks for sharing with us.
What a wonderful compilation - excellent quality too. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Many beautifully-chosen locations and some superb photography - a work of real dedication.
There are some really great shots there, you had a busy year. Thank you for taking the time to edit them all into a two hour video, most impressive.
Ta very much :)

Train with black and white smoke and water spray what a beutiful scene
The best train in the world at 55:32
I do like that more of you are beginning to use 1080P's resolution to great advantage for distant tracking shots. But, for good story telling, IF in the scene the train is passing a semaphore, do allow the signal to go to "red" before cutting or fading out, thus providing a "railway sense" of closure, (ie: at 3:40.)
I love the sound they make :D
Very nice, what video recorder do you use? and what video recorder would you recomend thats under 400 pounds as i could do with a new one?
cheers
Joe
GREAT VID WHAT ARE YOU SHOOTING WITH AND HOW MANY FRAMES PER SEC
Isn't 60008 supposed to be at the US National Railway Museum in Green Bay?. Excellent videos. Thanks.
J Stringer 6008 and 4489 both came over in 2013 for the Great Gathering at the NRM. They went home to their respective museums in 2014, as shown here.
What...Castle struggles in a hill...with decent train. How's that?
Mooi
It would be cool of they still diesel trains but the same design as these steam locomotives.
