This is one of my favorite Steam videos that I've been watching since I was 8 and 9 years old, in 2013 and 2014. Thanks for sharing my friend and greetings. 👋 LIKE. 👍
An amazing film - thanks for editing and sharing this compilation. Rather than the nuts and bolts close up of many films, you have kept a distance and under different lighting and weather conditions have really shown the power and "life" of the steam locomotive in the context of its natural surroundings. Fantastic! and a BIG thank you!
Excellent compilation. The fantastic scenary, steam engines working hard and the lovely time of year make for brilliant viewing. Thanks for putting this together - Hayden.
Don't thank us for watching - it was our pleasure!! Honestly, I was rapt and lost there for the show. Thankyou so much for all your work and for enduring the weather... I shall add this to my favorites, just to evoke times gone by. Having been brought up with GWR and rolling Devon coombes I was quite astounded by the bleakness and the stark beauty of the countryside. But most of all by the magnificent machines (I hadn't realised just how fast they could go). I could even smell the steam! Thanks.
The pans from high vantage points looking down are very good, given the relative difficulty of panning anything other than pretty much level. You have taken the trouble to seek out very fine viewpoints and have braved pretty much all weathers to accrue some special footage. Many thanks.
Superb scenery, classic composition and sound coverage. Absolutely super studies of mainline steam. Many thanks from a septuagenarian chap that knows very little about our Steam Heritage. Glorious!!
A pleasure to see all the clips again Phil. Thanks as always for going out to film the loco's in that lovely landscape you have up there. All the best...Tim.
What an amazing experience - as an Aussie with many fond childhood memories of steam trains I was just blown away by the content & quality of this film. I've been trawling RUclips steam train videos for years, and this is the best I've seen. Well done, & keep them coming!
Wow! What a great video,especially at 1:05...that even felt cold ,and, 1:25 with 70013 snaking over the small rise. Super stuff,well put together,and,a joy to watch.
Awesome compilation of winter steam with some very atmospheric scenes that are first class. I enjoyed watching this very much and am pleased that you took the time to piece it all together in this video. Cheers, Phil. Rich :D
Just found this after posting my very basic video of The Princess. Brilliant video I sometimes think winter is the best time for this as low sun, when it's out, and less people plus more atmospheric smoke and occasional snow. Thank You
an enjoyable interlude to while the time waiting for Ollie to get down here from Edinburgh today, very nice, cheers Phil, may see an effort from you later.
Best steam compilation I've seen this year. Great composition. 2.42 is a masterpiece. Terrific sound - love the "bark" of a Black 5. Funny how we never appreciated them fully before 1968!
Great video... love the double heading engines. Can believe you caught only a couple of time some other railfans shooting the trains (it is always hard to capture a steam train in the wild). Cheers to you 981smithy!
Hi Phil. Superb compilation. There's been some great steam runs this winter and you captured them superb. Hope one day to get up to this standard. Regards Joseph and Mark
Cracking compilation Phil. A memorable winter season without a doubt, though it would be nice if we got a bit more sun next year, oh and the snow as well of course!
awesome - you must have been Freezing your nuts in some shots - but great camera work & sound - !!! Takes me back ! Well Done Keep it up - love your shots !!! - you are strictly my 'favourite' xxxxxx
the next best thing to see is a pair of WD Austerity 2-8-0s Working Hard on a long Coal drag with 2200 tons on this you never see again But I have seen them I fired them And driven them Good Locos Worked hard good steamers
