  • So as the steam season here in the Southwest comes to yet another close, I've decided to change the format and instead give you a compilation of all my best shots of British Steam locomotives at full speed across the UK network, as collected over the past 3 years between 2013 and 2015. We've got all manner of classes in all manner of locations, including climbing and descending Shap Bank in Cumbria, racing across the flats of the South Devon Mainline, and negotiating the turns of the magnificent Sea Wall between Dawlish and Teignmouth.
    Classes range from a myriad of engines, including LMS Jubilee 45699 'Galatea', BR Standard 7 70000 'Britannia', LNER A4 Pacific's 60009 'Union of South Africa' and 4464 'Bittern', GWR Castle 5029 'Nunney Castle', and my personal favoruite, rebuilt LNER A1 Pacific 60163 'Tornado'! Power from all of the former pre-nationalisation companies, as well as the regions of British Railways are turned out and perform what they do best, going and speed!
    Apologies for some of the inconsistent sound and video quality in some shots, I changed camera's during this period.
    Enjoy!

    I personally love the fact that the british know how to run steam trains and are not afraid to do it. so many of these beautiful engines sit in museums, cold and lifeless. to see a steam train in all its glory is a real thing of beauty. long may they ever live in steam.

    8.35 to 8.53 is the moment,its just mesmerising,the second time she whistles at about 8.48 is me as a small boy at Preston station with a steam train racing through and whistling.
    Im in tears as i write this.
    thanks for this beautiful moment and these metal creatures that really have souls.

    1. Where's the Flying Scotsman?
    2. What is the point of the diesel at the end?
    3. How come Mallard isn't allowed for rail service anymore?

    • @marcogentile3392
      @marcogentile3392 2 года назад +2

      I can only answer the last 2 questions:
      1) the diesel at the end is used as power supply for the coaches and as possible emergency braking
      2) Mallards boiler has "expired", so they can't use it to make her run. To do that it needs to be replaced

Followed by a proper British accent on the sound for some of us who could benefit from the audio practice, more properly get into the genuine spirit of the British steam train experience and fully participate in your excellent video. Maybe the whistle sound on another video, if you think it too much? Gracias. Desde Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México, DerRobMann sends... envía...
