My objective of this channel however is not to cover steam specials around the aforementioned milepost but further south down the East Coast Mainline, the Midland Mainline & the West Coast Mainline, as well as loco movements in the areas mentioned. I also try to visit various preserved railways throught the year.
Equipment used:
Cameras: Panasonic Lumix TZ30, Panasonic Lumix TZ60, Panasonic Lumix FZ82, Canon PowerShot A3500 IS

'The Geordie Duchess' Accelerates Loudly away from York - LMS 6233 - 18/06/22
I often see "sometthing that isn't right" 😅
I needed to know why they couldn’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for most of the mainline Trains so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock which will include the class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign all of them into an overhead wire line trains and also make most of them into Five carriages per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Scania N112, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 10-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into 11 carriages per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it even much more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 carriages per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 carriages per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Scania N112, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 87 Octagon and Every 48 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those 18 Tonne Boxes of Coal for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!! So please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!! And PLEASE do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

@@gordonsmith9476 Unfortunately, you can almost expect it. What was even more irritating was that he'd spoken to me whilst I was kneeling on the platform! I hope you enjoyed the video.
What a sure footed start and smooth acceleration. As one who remembers the herculean thrashings of the Gresley and Peppercorn Pacifics this was most impressive. Although to be fair I don't know how the load here compares with the Tees-Tyne Pullman or Heart of Midlothian of the early Sixties or whether the Diesel was helping. Still all credit to the driver who had no experience of lifting a Castle out of Kings X but knew his engine and knew exactly how much welly to give it.
@@andrewdarley8988 Couldn't agree with you more Andrew. With a load of the GUV+7+Diesel, that is equivalent to about 11 or 12 coaches. The diesel was only idling. Given 4079 Pendennis Castle's exploits in the 1925 loco exchanges against the LNER A1s, driver Alastair Meanley would've been pretty confident that 7029 wasn't going to struggle climbing out of the Cross! I hope you enjoyed the video.
Great engine castle class great western on the footplate with one of those shovel keeping it steamed up 😅😅😅
Is a shame that gresley is the only steam Locomotive out of the a4 family that still runs on steam on the mainline. But some day in the Future she will be retired for good and all a4s will never move again!!

Hardly deafening. You ever heard the sound of a single chimney Castle?
A diesel loco is attached in case of a breakdown, which used to happen to the steamer Al too often.It does not provide any power unless necessary.

There is always some ignorant scroat that treats us to a picture of his *r*e whenever you try to photo locos. What a shame, he obviously knew he was spoiling the video.
Good video :)
Thank you very much Simon. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Thankyou so much for that, just relived my boyhood when the country was still a lovely place to grow up in. As a lad i lived at Harmer Green just up the hill from the station and spent many happy hours and days experiencing those wonderful Deltics storming through Welwyn North. Funny its gone a bit dusty in here.
Thank you very much. Must have been awesome to see the Deltics in their prime regularly thumping up and down the ECML. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Safety valves lifting at the top of that climb. What incredible free steaming boilers the Bullied pacifics had!
A brilliant design of boiler, managed with some fine enginemanship on the day. Very impressive to be doing just over 38mph at the summit with around 500 tons behind the tender. We were all stunned! I hope you enjoyed the video.
Super views of 'Clan Line'. Great filming. 👍
Thank you very much Allan. Clan Line put on a great show! I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Great locations, spectacular camera work and a brilliant subject. Clan Line in full flow looking far better than she ever did in BR days. Excellent stuff 👏. Huge credit to the MNLPS 👍.
Thank you very much. She definitely wasn't hanging about at all! Some others at Upton Scudamore were talking about when the MNs were brown in 1967 due to the lack of cleaning. The MNLPS should be proud of the work they've done to bring 35028 back. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Marvellous footage, thank you. They've got her tuned just right, an absolute joy to behold.
Thank you very much. From a lineside perspective, she didn't put a foot wrong all day. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Marvellous video! I don't know what causes it, but I love the off beat sound of Clan line. I've compared videos of British India Line and Clan Line. The BIL does have a similar rhythm to Clan Line but its much more subtle, Whereas Clan Line's is very pronounced. A strange quirk of the beast!
Thank you very much. Both 35018 and 35028 have got three cylinders giving a syncopated exhaust beat. The difference in how the engines sound is probably due to the timing of the valves and how well they are set. The better the setting/timing of the valves, the sharper the exhaust beat. I hope this makes sense!
@@Milepost90.25 I have to admit that's the best explanation I've heard of this quirk. Most of the time I just get obtuse argumentative comments 🤣. You've restored my faith in humanity!

Thank you very much Nigel. It was nice to meet you too. She made a cracking ascent of Scudamore. Didn't realise a Merchant could make so much noise at the chimney! It was a long day but it was good fun. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Fantastic sight and sound
Certainly was Andy! Didn't realise a Merchant could make such a racket! I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
There's always a dickhead who'll stand in the way, completely oblivious to someone filming, a meter to his right would have made all the difference. DUH!!!
JUST MAGIC ❤❤❤
Thank you very much Ian. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful shot 👍🏻
Thank you very much. Got very lucky with the sun, it was dodging between the clouds whilst we were waiting. I doubt I'll ever be able to reach your high standard of filming but I'm very pleased you enjoyed the video.
Great shot! I saw her at blackburn. Glad there was no train bombing
Thank you very much. I hope she was as good at Blackburn as she was at Oxenholme and Wigan! I hope you enjoyed the video.
А сзади на всякий случай тепловоз прицеплен у каждого парового состава ))).
Да! Дизель находится сзади на случай, если паровоз сломается или его нужно будет подтолкнуть! Надеюсь, вам понравилось видео.
Why wasn't the towing diesel electric decoupled and left at King's Cross? Did they take it with them in case the Clun Castle broke down?
On the day, the Class 47 pulled the train from Tyseley to Wembley where it was put to the rear and the same on the return journey. The 47 was left coupled to the rear in order to shunt the empty coaching stock at Lincoln and in case 7029 needed any assistance on the journey. I hope this answers your question and I hope you enjoyed the video.
How much assistance is given by the 47 at the back? Or is it just there for failures?
The diesel is at the back to help with shunting the stock at each end of the run to and from depots. It's also there just in case the steam loco is struggling and needs a push. Luckily they aren't there to push the steam engine around all day!
