Great footage!

Thank you!

[@maxwellwalcher6420]

I love the shots of GWR 7029 and i got an idea for the locomotive.

[@WestCountrySteamVideos]

Thank you!

[@AverySpidell]

Now that's what I call an excursion 8:15

[@sukeribachik2853]

So powerful the engine,with speed roughly 100 kph

[@GabeVeasey]

Express coming through!

[@schutendohkji548]

I guess Brits have these weird Caboose at the end of
ea. steam train.

[@DavidPhilp-l3o]

Do you mean the standby diesel?

[@schutendohkji548]

@@DavidPhilp-l3o Yes. I was just joking.
The US RRs do the same for their vintage
steam engines. They have funny looking caboose or two. I guess in Britain, they call
dem 'Brake Vans'? These funnies sure promote confidence in steam power!

[@ronaldgreen5292]

What country are these trains in?🤔

[@mortimp]

Counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Bristol England UK

[@WestCountrySteamVideos]

This was filmed in the UK :)

[@adoremuslimahbeautycouture1302]

Uk

[@exratical]

no american locomotives :( good video either way.

[@tiger_h1]

Very true ❤😊

[@tamlamotownmagic2646]

These are all filmed in the UK, that's why there are no American locomotives.

[@exratical]

well yea...@@tamlamotownmagic2646

[@WestCountrySteamVideos]

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm from the UK so all my footage is from there, apologies, Tom

[@SSSVergil]

We actually have a few American locomotives in the UK to be honest, we have a few S160s and S100s

[@All_Good_Things]

Why do most of them have a locomotive attached to the back? It ruins the look

[@WestCountrySteamVideos]

Unfortunately a couple tour operators in the UK have a diesel at the back to provide assistance to the steam loco if needed and also to help out with turning moves etc. It's quite a shame but still good we've got some steam running on the mainline!

[@SouthWalesTrainSpotter]

@@WestCountrySteamVideosjust to add to that it is also incase the steam engine fails, not only on steam but also on diesel tours they have a backup diesel incase of it, because otherwise it will delay other normal operating trains, therefore getting a FAT fine. This isn’t always the case but I have heard about this of many of people

[@JTAlphaone]

The diesel is often required to provide electrical power for carriages with electric heating and for catering carriages that have electrically powered galley equipment.

[@cedriclynch]

Be thankful it is not the USA. You see videos of preserved steam locomotives there and not only is there a diesel locomotive also included in the train but you can clearly hear that that is what is doing most of the work.

[@paintergirl5933]

where's the flying Scotsman?
