third engineer
Приєднався 13 гру 2014
I use third engineer as a brand because from March 1969 till march 1985 I was a marine engineer in the merchant Navy and sailed for a number of years as third engineer which was my rank which I enjoyed very much.During that time I visited 70 or more countries from North/Central and South America,Middle East, Far East India Pacific Islands Briefly Australia, Medi, Europe and Africa including seeing steam in South Africa.

Good video, like .
Thanks, glad you liked it Brian
Great stuff Brian, all the angles of the climb, always nice when you get a whistle. David
Thanks 👍David SNG was very impressive and a whistle at the right spot ,just what the doctor ordered.Cheers. Brian
Well captured Brian, a tricky approach uphill, on a curve on wet rails and a heavy train but with no diesel. We were on it and obviously don't get to see any action. Thanks, David
Hi David thanks for the response Not done any mainline trips this year but some of my friends who did did not enjoy it as much as when the mark one stock was in service owing to the fact the windows were sealed and it was too warm in the coaches? Hope you enjoyed the trip however Brian
@@thirdengineer Thanks Brian, we had a great trip (in a mk1 coach). We did a Dalesman a few weeks back in the Riveria mk 2s, it wasn't a hot day and the aircon was working fine. David
Nice catch! Shame I was in Ayrshire on holiday - a bit too far for a day trip to carlisle
Thanks Tristan ,lovely evening south of the border hope weather was nice for you.We will no doubt be seeing S.N.G in the future. Cheers Brian
Spot on Brian, well covered climb through Ramsgreave and Wilpshire, cheers nige👍
Thanks Nige nice evening the rain cleared and the sun came out at the right time.S.N.G. did not dissapoint. Cheers Brian
Nicely captured arrival Brian, makes for a pleasant change from Tangmere although not an ideal morning weather wise, cheers nige👍
Welcome change of power but I was dry and the other options where to get soaked in the open. Cheers Brian
Excellent location footage at Hellifield Brian, I filmed Sir Nigel at Garsdale & Ribblehead I was lucky weather was dry. Regards Michael
Many thanks Michael ,l enjoyed your footage of S.N.G. well done Brian
Excellent footage recorded Sir Nigel Gresley passing Ramsgreave and Wilpshire, Regards Michael. P.S. I was filming at Garsdale & Ribblehead take a look at the video

Much appreciated great station with character with a few drips on your head here and there and a fantastic cafe with nice staff and old fashioned service what more do you want? Plus I can get there inside 30 mins MAGIC! Brian
Splendid piece of filming Brian, A4 SNG looking the part in it's smart livery and nice to see it back again at Hellifield, nice one Stephen .
Thanks Stephen not a good morning and the A4 stopped for a couple of mins and I did not have enough time to film the departure although there were a lot of people surrounding it!
Great work Brian, good to see the A4.👍
Thanks for responding it was wet but along with my cameras I was under cover and celebrated with a bacon and egg sani!
Nice collection of photographs there Brian. May I have a copy of the pictures of the Stolt Stuart? Many thanks and regards, Tony

Thanks Nige poor day but chuffed with the result. All the best Brian
Well done Brian for braving the awful weather ☔️☔️☔️Tangmere on fine form even though she lost her feet a few times on the departure 👍
Thanks Steve ,yes the weather was challenging however l was undercover at Hellifield and had to scrap plans to go to Gargrave after arrival.Sorry for the delay in answering, Brian
Nicely filmed with wheel slips. Good exhaust.👍
Cheers, not the best of days but Hellifield seemed the only option and only 20 minutes away.Thanks for responding
Good video Brian, well done for turning out on a dismal day, I always enjoy a bit of slipping. David 👍☔️
Thanks David, well Bulleids are renowned for slipping on starting from being static.However Tangmere is a smart looking loco and I wanted some pics of the RAF badges and nameplate. Cheers Brian
Very nice video of Tangmere from a damp Hellifield Brian, train looked quiet but hard to see through the windows . 👍
Thanks 👍Steve not a good morning but I was under cover at Hellifield . Cheers Brian

Some very nice locos from Porhtmadog Brian, nicely filmed , cheers Steve 👍
Thanks Steve ,i love the little trains of Wales and the Garrats bring back memories of the 1970s in South Africa, Cheers Brian
🏆
Great filming Brian. Unusual locos.😀
Thanks for the feedback ,cheers Brian
Great footage Brian, an excellent place to visit and a lot of imagination went into building this village by Clough Williams-Ellis made famous like you said in The Prisoner, it’s a few years since we were there but we will visit again, cheers nige👍
Thanks for the response Nige nice place and unusual,Cheers Brian
Lovely place Brian. Reminds me of Tobermory on Isle of Mull with its colourful buildings.👍
Very unusual and very different but nice and colourful, Brian
Nicely captured Brian, putting a decent amount of clag out by the bridge on a hot and windy early evening and a nice backdrop with Pendle Hill at a great location, cheers nige👍
@@nige7577 thanks Nige lovely evening with blue sky and nice scenery with the loco to set the scene pity over the sound distortion, you cant win em all! Cheers Brian
Good footage again Brian. A good spot at Newsholme with pendle hill.
Thanks for the response sorry over the noise distortion a nice evening but breezy. Cheers Brian
Very nice Brian, one of my favorite locations, not been for a while there for a while, cheers Steve . 🌝
Glad you enjoyed it Steve its a good view in both directions more so wth Pendle in the background.l saw the realtime schedule but it did not ring a bell at lunchtime,l was slow on the uptake as it woud have been nice to see the not so modern traction! Thanks for the response. Brian
Excellent Footage Brian, Tangmere Leeds Carlisle, Regards Michael
Cheers Michael nice location the Bulleid did not seem to be working too much but still a smart looking loco,thanks for the reply BRIAN
That's a good long straight there Brian. Tangmere looking and sounding good in the late afternoon sun. Take care - Chris
Thanks Chris lovely evening and nice views,shame the wind was a bit blustery. I missed out on the vintage diesels which is a pity ,cheers Brian
Definitely caught my wife's better side there, Brian .....fantastic work, Mike
I try to please. Been in Wales since last Thursday l have some NG steam shots from Porthmadog to put on you tube after l get home after Thursday. Thanks for responding. Brian
Nice footage Brian thanks for posting
Posslbly the Sulzer engine had been replaced by a GM ? Brian
Maybe not on reflection……
That class 47 on the tail had a suspiciously “American” sound about it…..
Good video Brian….
Glad you enjoyed it Brian

Thanks Nige hoping to see the black 5 tomorrow Tuesday. Cheers Brian
Nice shots Brian, the trees are getting very close, David
Thanks David did not realise it as the black 5, my fault for not being on the ball usually there are early you tube videos from the northbound run which I should have picked up on! Just had a 5 min walk from my girlfriends at Chatburn expecting to see the Spam can. Thanks for the response Brian
@@thirdengineer I was surprised when I saw it in the morning, apparently it moved up from Crewe sometime on Friday.
2 nice shots Brian. Another spot to try.👍
Thanks David .Thats the norm these days the embankments are so overgrown. Cheers Brian
Great video
@@JoshHemingwayMetcalfe96 thanks Josh glad you enjoyed it Brian
I was in Lagos when the Royston Grange was lost, very sad time. R I P......
@@tonyjones99 remember it well I was on the Shaftesbury on a Liverpool River Plate run when we got the news. I knew a few of the crew on the Royston Grange having done relief work on board in London a couple of times for around 2 to 3 weeks whilst the regular crew went home but no one ever wanted to leave the ship as it was a good run and steady number with a round trip of around 3 months with a short visit ti Rotterdam en route. Thanks for the response. Brian
Spot on Brian, you’ve got Sir Nigel well covered there, the low down shots bring out the best in Gresley’s streamline design, cheers nige 👍
