I’d forgotten about the mail trains. Had to watch the very last part three times to really appreciate it. Excellent.
You have the best audio of all of the steam videos, methinks
this video has great audio, no wind noises at all !! :) Well done !!
Those mail drops are amazing arn't they. Thank you for your great work.
They are a bit! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you. You got a superb angle on the PTO demo as well as some interesting variations on the usual distance sequences - all in a very watchable timeframe. Thanks also for the prominent featuring of the Q. Bob K.
Thank you very much, Bob :)
Masterly camera work and editing. Thank you for making the trip and posting your results.
That postal pickup at thevend was very nicely done, indeed.
Really enjoyed your expert videoing put together in an excellent video. Thank you for putting it up here.
Stunning footage Kris. Nice to see the Q getting out and about away from home.
Thank ye, squire. I must admit, I wasn't too fussed about the Q, when she was first announced as a guest. Now that I've actually seen her in action, I think she's rather lovely :)
Never seen her running, but everyone seems to say good things about her!
Great video, I went on Saturday and Cromwell TPO Was much quicke compared to Sunday's!!!
Nice choice of angles. Very impressive shot of the 9F accelerating away from Quorn with the Windcutter.
Cheers, Andrei. That was one particular shot I was hoping to get. Worked out quite nicely, I reckon :)
Hi,Great stuff, well filmed ...Dave
Cheers, Dave.
Thanks for reply......Dave
Fantastic mate, thanks for sharing
Thank you :)
Very nice video. Would have liked to see a super slow motion reply of the mail pickup.
What is it about steam Locomotives ? they are a man made machine with a soul, the sound & smell makes me feel good... On track beauty,
Top Stuff!
Thanks!
Great video mate, Two question I like to ask you, have you or have you not been to the Bluebell Railway before and which weekend are you going to visit at the South Devon Railway for their winter gala next mouth?
Cheers, Joe. I have been to the Bluebell, although it took me until last year! Not sure if I'm doing the SDR yet, let alone what weekend.
That shot of the DMU passing the Hall, is it really 2017??? Fantastic!
Love you videos, just like time travel!...... actually a little bit too much like time travel!,,, Hmmmm....!
I'm saying nothing ;) Hehe, thanks Martin.
where is this place
Steam the heart throb of history... nothing can beat it...I hate electric and diesels the heart is just not there. The bashing heart throb of a steam loco says it is a living thing.
