Love your videos, any plans to do a video from Grantham to Lincoln Central or vice versa in the near future?

Didn't manage to get this year so, nice to see the layouts.

The late John (Fingers) Fletcher, who was amongs other positions a NYMR footplate inspector and ex BR footplateman, often spoke to drivers about leaving the steam drain cocks open too long. It's used to expel water from the cylinders after a loco has been stood for a while, however it only takes a short distance to expel water.

Super 👍 Greetings from Poland

Super departure shot! 👍👍

An excellent video. Two super video shots from both location. 👍👍

What a joke! That's not how you drive a 37! Leave it on the the throttle and don't do quick bursts!

Excellent video. Nice one. 😀

I missed this at Cramlington, an hour early wasn't it..

What a fantastic class of loco the 37s are. Over 50 years of heavy haulage and still with us. Thank you for sharing.

Many thanks for sharing this with us…. I miss the type 68 starting and going through York.

It looks like a con. The crew of the Black 5 were completely unsighted when the train moved off over the level crossing with venting steam and clearly the Class 25 was operating under load as it entered the tunnel. Fantastic bit of stage craft.

Glorious sight and sound!! The 37 is my favourite diesel locomotive.

"Once an engine attached to a train was afraid of a few drops of rain He went through a tunnel and squeaked through his funnel and he never came out again"

Great footage - some of the best videos are the ones where you don't really expect much but get pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

That steam was certainly worth videoing!

There's a serious rail joint problem next to that gate!

Nice. Is that a MyLocoSounds card? Had to have words with one of my drivers about loose shunting last week...

Just how it should be !!

Thanks for recording East Road. Brilliantly captured 👌

I think that when the new platforms are opened Bank Top will become an oversized pigeon roost.

My uncle Percy, a mainline top link driver on the LMS, swore by Black Five locos. 'Gimme a Black Five any day instead of a Princess Royal Class (PRC). The Black Five can crap all over a PRC in terms of driving and firing. PRC's are the biggest heap of scrap ever devised by the LMS. Poor steaming heaps of junk that you have to work your back off to keep moving along the track.' His repertoire had included Patriot, Jubilee, Royal Scot, but mainly Princess Coronation Class (PCC) locomotives on turns out of Euston on the West Coast Mainline Route. His career had included firing PCC locomotives with full streamlining way back in the 1930's. I knew him as a lad back in 1964 in the twilight of his career. Interesting as both my grandfathers were 45 year enginemen driver veterans of the GCR/LNER/BR, one uncle became a senior instructor at BR later driving 4000 Kestrel, and three other uncles were firemen on the LNER/BR. When uncle Percy visited there always was the usual discursive rivalry between LMS and LNER enginemen concerning locomotives. The smell of steam locomotives. How I miss it. It is in my blood. The line to Shirebrook Colliery was only about 400 feet from where I lived, and there was a disused station. I was always around the steam locomotives, and they were always around me in my youth. I miss them.

Love it 😀😀😀😀😀😀

What train were you filming from?

Merlin!! Is that you!? Oh....henrys brother Horris

good video ,but i like to see were im going not were iv been

Unnecessary taps open??

Some lovely layouts there, thanks for sharing & uploading.🤓👍

As a train spotter in the 50s I used to take little notice of black fives. There were so many of them. Today they look beautiful. A former driver once told me he could get 90mph out of a black five. Excellent machines.

It is all part of the show. Give the punters a great show. Of course the need to clear water out of the cylinders, but this engine looked a little light for its train so it may be going to add a pusher for the not insignificant climb with a full train of heavy Pullmans with vans.

What on Earth is this doing at Darlington? Something to do with Locomotion at Shildon perhaps? Just a guess.

Is that Darlington Nort Road up platform ?

A familiar sound from my spotting days on Preston Station when they were always double headed.

Nice one !

I am sure they never kept the drain cocks open so long in BR days

The sound of a '50' at full throttle is English Electric music.

Hello sir, is it ok with you if I borrow your footage of the rocket for a video I’m working on?

looks like it left fast (sorry if im not using the right terms im new in this space!)

I was begining to think that pirates were going to come out of it.... .

Well I guess that's TRULY amazing ( but ... WELL before my time ! ) ... from someone who was the LAST member of the public to walk down the ( single track mining line ? ) from Tiverton to Tiverton Junction ( Devon UK ) ... before it was all ripped up .... the next day .. Thank you , Dr Beeching ( or not ? ) .... DAVE™🛑

Awesomeness!

I used to watch these double headed leaving Preston on the WCML back in the early 70s. The last one I 'copped' was D427. Great vid,thanks.

A bit of a smoky old diesel, that 50!! Perhaps she needs a service!!

The driver thought, no way will I let them video this train (and it worked lol)

These things are so gopping ugly. Sorry, not hating, just, meh.

Definiteley wasnt expecting a tank engine after all of that

Does the UK have defect detectors on its railways? Or is that strictly a US thing? If they do, can you please get a video of some of them so I can hear what a UK defect detector voice sounds like?

Why do UK diesels have two tone horns?

Great video👍
