AERIAL VIEWS of Carnforth Steamtown, Sidings & Dave’s Horse behind the Loco Shed..!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 гру 2022
- See a birds-eye view of the West Coast Railways Carnforth Steamtown depot with the large sidings areas also.
A mix of traction and rolling stock is present with 46115 'Scots Guardsman' being prepared for an outing to York.
Filming conditions were not ideal - A very bright and low winter sun, with very cold temps leaving a layer of frost on the roof of most carriages and traction.
This footage was filmed in full compliance to current CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) regulations for drone usage (Dec-22)
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

Brings back memories of visiting the place over 50 years ago. I wish I could go round again, last time I was about 12.
Nice footage of our horse behind the loco shed
Nice - I’ve changed the title to include the Horse! 🤣🤣😜
An absolutely fascinating view and it''s great to see what's still there. Many thanks
considering how mi6 it is with wcrc this is one of the best views seen in years. nice vid.
edit: not saying they HAVE to share anything but y'know it's mega rare anything is heard from the place regarding locos/stock lol
Wow! Fascinating behind the scenes sights! I've been past on the train many a time, but all you can see is......!
What an interesting and so different view to have of such an iconic placel. I bet that all rail enthusiasts will be surpised by the great overview only such drone footage actually gives.
You wanna keep up the good work and offer your skills to all different potential interested people who know of such interesting places, not only railway sites.
I have seen other drone footage shot all over the world but the majority of footage isn't as smooth and flowing thus doesn't keep one's attention as well as your film has.
Well done and Thanx a million for sharing your artwork with us none drone flyers.
Have a pleasant and enjoyful Christmas
Thanks Jordo - Appreciate the kind words. You have a good Christmas also 👌👍
Wow, great footage. Been wanting to get up there for a while. When Spring comes I'm gonna point my van northwards and enjoy all that great scenery and the beer, of course.
Great Ariel footage. Didn’t realise it was that big.
I remember my childhood, many days of school holidays spent at Steam Town. I even got to drive Sir Nigel there once to the coaling stay from the shed. OK told to pull that then push it back. It was also the home to 4472 a few black fives along with other things. It was a long walk round the roads from the station but was told of a short cut from one of the staff at Carnforth. Happy days.
Thanks for this, the aerial view gives a great perspective. Stuff like this is also great inspiration for model railway building.
I remember going to Steam Town about 40 years ago when I was 10 and seeing Flying Scotsman and Sir Nigel Gresley amongst others. Shame the museum is no longer open.
It’s too busy as a proper depot now.
This could be one of your most watched Ariel films yet as WCRC are more secretive than the KGB when it comes to what goes on at Carnforth.
It’s a private sector company. Nothing wrong with the owner and employees keeping it private.
It’s not that secretive, there are six organsied tours around the site every year.
My thinking too. I went there last year on a job and was told not to take photos of anything
@@Mr85b how do you get on a tour
@@jameshardy4354 the trips are organised by various groups and societies which you have to be a member of so you are covered on their insurance, the two which spring to mind are Rail Riders and The Inter City Railway Society, try contacting either of those, Rail Riders have a visit planned early in the new year.
What a excellent video nice to see it you don't realise how big the place is untill you get a video like this I'd love to model this on my model railway 👌👌👌👌cheers Paul
Brilliant! I remember when you used to be able to walk around here publicly. Shame you can’t anymore
I dread to think how long some of that rolling stock has been there.....surely a lot of scrap amongst that lot. The drone view certainly shows how big this place actually is. Would love a visit round that depot, just to see some of the withdrawn locos and also inside the main diesel shed.
Nice one.
Lots of scrap locos as you approach on the train
They should do a open day one day only am sure the hole of England would turn up and take a look??
That looks an amazing place. Can you look round it in person
Unfortunately not - There are private tours occasionally however no public access.
Surprised David Smith doesn't have SAMs positioned to shoot down drones
That would be a lot of fun to see.
Shocking, looks like the place is falling apart. So sad I visited Steam Town in the 70’s as a teenager.
It's not falling apart, quite the opposite in fact, it's a fully working depot
@@benzinapaul7416 Big holes in the shed roof.
It’s Lovely to see depots from a angle you don’t often see, would anyone happen to know that the 2 other steam locos are along with 44932 I can make out one looks like 45699 and there’s some small tank engien
looks like 45690 leander with the poking tender and the saddle tank seems to be Andrew Barclay Works No 2230 Douglas No 1 0-4-0ST
@@Vamdua 45690 which is back to me it’s looks green
@@yorkshire_railway_photogra2631 The green loco is 46115 Scots Guardsman, not 45699 Galatea. The jubilee was withdrawn in March of this year and is undergoing it's first preservation overhaul.
Loved your presentation of Carnforth. Last round the yard 11th September 2021. Sometime next year will be revisiting through an organized group.
What do you have to do to visit carnforth west coast railways
@@jameshardy4354 I am members of ICRS and Rail Riders and both are revisiting Carnforth January and February respectively next year. The visits last over three hours as the site is so big. Was not on the last visit and over fifty locos stabled due to rail strikes
@@kennethmcintyre2847 I want to know if 34016 bodmin is under overhaul and what is happening with 76017 if its moving to carnforth getting locomotive info from the place is like fort nocks 🤣🤣🤣
@@jameshardy4354 34016 was noted 11th May 2019, but absent 11th September 2019. With regards 76017, not noted.
Real life equivalent of the Reverend Awdry's North Western Railway.
It would really be good to visit the site and see what goes on behind the scenes. First time I got got to try and visit I ended up getting taken ill so couldn't go & the 2nd got cancelled thanks to covid restrictions (not down to me but the people planning the visit). Should I do get to visit one day and film clips I wont be sharing a video to UA-cam or anywhere over social media or the web at all so no requests, will purely be for private use.
Looking at the state of the roof im surprised that nothing has been done about it as one day it's gonna reach a point where it collapses OR the building becomes unsafe. I know it's a grade listed building but something really needs to be done to the structure.
0:55The roof on the right hand road could do with the attentions of a skilled roofer
Better to just replace the whole roof, but the problem is it's a ruddy listed building.
Still hasn’t fixed the roof. Letting the place go to ruin
Where is the remains of 34073 249 squadron gone
i didnt realise carnforth had a international shunter
A new acquisition, purchased from Crossrail’s Plumstead sidings.
@@bfapple ah right
Any body know when 76017 is moving to carnforth
January 2023 and there's still been no news on if it's going to be moving north OR if it does move north how it will get there.
@@MasterMoyle no David still no news it's all gone very quiet
They hate people flying drones over you know, i used to work there
That’s usually a sign of wanting to hide something 🙃
Was the tram style centenary from the steamtown days? @1:06 is a good view
What is a centenary ?
@@stewartlancaster6155 sorry I meant catenary
Yes it is. I'm surprised it is still as complete as it is. Can't say the same about the ex-Selside signal box though.
I hope you asked David Smith for permission to film his land from this close range.
And if not???
Yes you are right regarding permission and rights but the main thing is that the footage gets out there for all to see and actually learn of the state it is now in. It's at least now up to all the viewers and enthusiasts to make their own minds up as to how to go forward with such brandnew knowledge of the site.
Who knows maybe one day and only thanks to such footage people will come together and manage to breath some life back into this precious place.
You see the other option would be to just forget about it and leave it all to its own demise.
Rather see the positive outcome which the footage may finally have triggered.
Merry Christmas
@@jordomayor5224 I was at Carnforth a few weeks ago. It’s a working industrial site that does steam and diesel overhauls. The only reason why people get emotional about it, is because of the classic steamers and diesels.
And if you have any suggestions about how WCRC should be run, I suggest you contact them directly.
assume your friends with people inside that give you gen
So mutch fore secrecy
@@bfapplewen you went to carnforth was bodmin under overhaul
