I first copped 60009 at Gateshead in October 1964 on Silver jubilee requiem ,been a trainspotter for previous 5 years, I then needed one more A4 to complete the class,the illusive 60004 Sir William whitelaw was the bane of my trainspotting days ,now 71!
Fantastic sequence of the "Queen of steam" many thanks for putting this together.Personally I have seen her since the late 50's and I am glad she put on a brilliant show at York to say goodbye.
Marvoulous vid of number 9. The most popular loco on the mainline over the years even at 1 point even more popular than Scotsman. Shame though the farewell trip of number 9 on the mainline won't happen now as the 28th's Winter CME could have been it's last if Railway Touring Co had convinced West Coast to let number 9 have a farewell send off in the northern fells. Anyway great video as ever. Richard
A lovely tribute to UoSA, thanks Liam and Phil, and very imaginatively presented. All brilliant captures, Lichfield TV came over as special and the Tamworth finale could not have benefitted from better timing with both cameras. Kind regards, Bob. p.s. Thanks for explaining the Doppler Effect - I knew the term but now I know what it means too!
There are some compilation videos of mine on my channel, but none of them are anywhere near as exciting as this. If I had a favourite No. 9 moment out of all the A4 videos I've seen on RUclips, it would be where No. 9 uncannily stalled on Goodrington Bank on the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway. She was lucky help was at hand in the shape of 7827 Lydham Manor, who is a much smaller GWR 4-6-0 Tender Engine. Despite slipping somewhat heavily, Lydham Manor put up a valiant fight and got the train going. OK, Lydham Manor is a lot smaller than No. 9, but never knock a Great Western Engine's efforts I say.
Brilliant engine i wander if any of the other A4s will take her place on the main line once she has been retired, Sir Nigel Greasley or Bittern Perhaps. Great video 😀

A brilliant # 9 doing her stuff. Not to forget the excellent footage taken by Marsh Steam Videos 👍👍👏👏

Great set of videos of No.9. Well put together
Great video . Fantastic tribute to outstanding locomotive. 009 will surely be missed. Enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A
Well done - lovely compilation of clips of No 9.

Many thanks Bob, the doppler effect is always high on list when it comes to expectations, unfortunately it's all down to luck and timing.

Not to worry 60007 is comeback this time it’s working with saphos trains based at Crewe where she will be staying for the next 10 years
Excellent Liam ... Not looking forward to this year!! So sad ....
You and me both! Thanks as always.
🚂👍
Hard to believe now that the NYM line used to be all double track.
Super nice video :)
VREAU să fie și in Romania o locomotivî ca acestea . O D din Comănești- Bacău - Rominia .
Are any enthusiasts out this weekend filming by the trackside??
3:33 I'm fast.
