in 1975 i had the good fortune to live at oldfield just a mile past oakworth , i had a yamaha moped and rode many times into haworth to buy petrol and buy food, riding over the crossing at oakworth station, life was good back then a much simpler life compaired to today, ill allways remember living in the part of the country . lovely video.
Very nice to see the KWV looking so good and doing so well since the reopening which I witnessed, now a long time ago. Nicely filmed too. Best regards from Bill Blacks (aka “the flying Scotsman”) son 🇨🇦.
The beauty of the KWVR is that, altough it's one of the oldest established lines and very much "premier league" in status, it still very much has the flavour of the smaller, "friendly" lines.
Many thanks. I enjoy your videos and only came across this one recently. I enjoyed the narration - it helped me to place everything in order. The closest we have to such a railway here in Melbourne, Australia is the Puffing Billy railway, a narrow gauge line running through the Dandenong Ranges, where I live.Cheers
Always a pleasure to watch your video's. I'm gonna try and visit the East Lancs for their autumn gala next Sunday. The Worth valley is an amazing railway to visit and I hope to visit there again next year.
Hopefully one day soon in the not to distant future, but sadly it looks like it will be a year or two, stay safe and we will all look forward to the day.
That was a nice video the narrating really makes it too, how do you get the camera to hang so far from the train? Ha i bet Penny loves the walk back I know my Toby would, just say the word walk and his ears go up. Nice video.
An excellent video, as always, and similar to the one I have of the railway (but I filmed most at night as I went just after Christmas). I always find that the narrator sounds bored all the time in this sort of video though! If you are enthusiastic and passionate then let that come through on the narration, it makes it much more interesting for those who are not familiar with the footage.
@pennysteam Hahaha! Maybe not go that far; we should all leave the whistling to the locos. It's just the inflection in the voice, but it's probably really hard to do when you're in front of a computer (or wherever you record the narration) and you don't have it there in front of you or a direct audience. I find it hard enough on Crich's trams to do a presentation/talk on the tram, but the inflection comes easier with the audience in front of me as you can see the response. Great content though
@pennysteam Next time I go I may have to take my dog along that walk, which I didn't know was there until watching this! This has also given me ideas for videos for my channel, and maybe attempt some narration myself...
@CrichConductor700 Hmm, soft of see your point, I think most narrations on films I have heard tend to go for the documentry style, but then again as you say there is no direct ordiance unlike yourself. Usualy can take several takes as well, as I keep wondering of the planned script, well sort of planned. The walkies bit's at the end was unscripted but fitted in nice.
@CrichConductor700 If you check this film I made a few weeks ago now you will see more of the walk. "Keighley & Worth Valley Railway 17th of April 2011 part 1"

Great video and great engine. She managed great with 5 on up that gradient. Power for her size!

Nice memory for me. I only wonder when will we cross the Channel again. Probably not this year...

One characteristic of pennysteam videos is Penny additional appears one or more time/s somewhere in the film. Maybe one of Penny's early videos?

Is it a struggle for the engines to keep to the timetable with the gradients?
Watermillfilms , baring the unforeseen the time table allows for this, and the train has around 20 minutes to run round before departing
@CrichConductor700 should I add a few whuppeee's, and wolf wistle's?
@TrainMadJames Good friday, so it was a bank holoday, also during school holidays and peak periods they run steam all week.
my second best railway in the world
you should have been there saturday or sunday because it was the haworth1940s weekend

you should have been there saturday or sunday because it was the haworth1940s weekend by the way i live in keighley
i thought they didn't run trains in the week.
A long, long 'SW' for Penny.
@robog9 did last year and year before, but couldn't make it this year due to work related issues.
Great video as per usual. Checkout my vids. Have Tornado on my channel.
@ShaurntheSheep screen flips over and around and then hold my arm out of the window, you have to know the track well to avoid loosing the camcorder.
