On January 6th 2012, the very first episode of 'Steam Locos In Profile', about the LMS Black 5s, was published on UA-cam.
Join us to commemorate 10 years of SLIPs, by re-watching the original episode and learning more about the making of it.
This is an original documentary produced by me and my friends, starring my creations and myself.
Congratulations on ten years on UA-cam, Chris! As someone who has also just celebrated ten years on the platform, its a great achievement mate, keep up the good work!
Having all the black fives “all black” is unique that’s part of why they are my favourite steam loco
Have you seen American engines
@@CoalChrome off course, love them
Nah, black is WAY too boring. I really liked when a Black 5 was once put in Furness Railway Red, we need more uniqueness like that with those engines
Ye like having them all black is unique
Well, you have the green stuck-up from Sodor
As someone who's been watching since this episodes debut, it's been a pleasure to be along for the ride, this show has gone from strength to strength, that pink black five makes me laugh every time!
Happy 10 years SLIPS!
agreed, I love the Pink 5!
We love them and our Daughter when 6 belted out "ITS A BLACK FIVE!!" Which got us an invite into the cab at Cheltenham. I have many parts for one and several parts for a second in 5 inch gauge. Plus hundreds of photos of them in bits having overhauls. Superb 10 years Chris and the way things have worked out for you, superb. Love David and Lily who feature in the IMLEC 2021 Special.
This was a fantastic walk down Memory Lane. Gods, this really takes me back. Can I just say that as much as you may cringe at it now, I really think that some of those earlier foibles, like the shaky camerawork and even the Nostalgia Critic-y gaff were some of the things that may have most helped your show take off in its early days. Speaking for myself, I was a huge NC/Channel Awesome fan at that time, so I was really drawn to your presentation style; clearly trying your level best to be professional while still having that familiar handmade feel to it. While of course I'm glad the series has grown and you and your crew have improved since then, I think that homespun style is what helped you out the most getting started. Seeing something that looked like a couple of blokes just like me trying their best to look professional with the limited tools on hand was a big part of what made me think "Yes, this is something special."
And yes, I'd love to see more reactions to early episodes. Heck, there's an idea for a monthly/bi-weekly thing for this year, make it a whole year's celebration. Plus cheap content and awareness of the USA Tour campaign, wehey!
Quite the business milestone! Here’s to ten incredible years and (hopefully) many more!
It’s quite fitting that your SLIP career began with the extremely common Black 5s (so common that I’ve seen two in the past 6 months in the form of Eric Treacy and 5000) and now you’ve covered all sorts of unique and obscure locomotives. Well done for a solid decade worth of content.
And I love that your friend gave you a model of the pink black 5 with the face as a prank. That’ll probably be worth something in the future I imagine.
Happy 10 anniversary of steam locos in profile there a brilliant set of videos
Great stuff, looking forward to another ten years.
Congrats on 10 years of SLIPS, here's to whatever the future holds for all aspects of E G Media (maybe you will go to USA and be tempted by the bright lights of Hollywood)
Dude he's going to America!
@@ThatCoalSoul oh yes check out the link in the description for more info.
Still enjoyable after 10 years, and good to have the insight commentary.
Happy 10th Anniversary Chris. The Black Fives are my favorite LMS steam engines and 18 preserved examples seems a very healthy amount. I guess in reality, Henry might’ve suffered the same faults these engines had when he was rebuilt into a Black Five. Now I can see you’ve put lots more effort than I thought into these videos. Despite being a real comedian at times, you’re a very smart guy.
Congrats on 10 years! Here’s for another 10!
Congrats on 10 years of SLIPS Chris. I think I had the rare misfortune of going to see 45407 and the loco breaking down about 20 years ago when it was doing some trips on the Brighton Line.
two LMS black 5s is Under restoration (in poor/scrapyard condition). They are LMS BLACK 5s no.5491(LMS) /45491 (BR) and no. 4901 (LMS)/ 44901(BR).
and LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 painted BR green - LMS black 5 no. 4932. for a while. it still paint black even today or preservation.
sadly BR Caprotti Black Fives not survived in preservation .
happy now!
you doing good job. I enjoyed history about black 5. thank you.
I remember a good story about the black 5s looking like the 8fs. I was at The great central railway and the gala schedule had an 8f (48305) hauling the vans, and black 5 (45305) on the tpo. I saw an lms style smokebox and number approaching along with a lot of smoke. I asummed this was the black 5 doing 40 and accelerating hard to get to the speed in time.I pankied and dragged my dad's hand to watch the demo.after running hard towards the pick up and drop off point I knew wouldn't make it in time. Then when we were running along, and the engine bearing down on us. It passed us halfway just beyond the signal box and you can imagine my surprise when an 8f clanked past at 15 miles an hour. Thankfully we did see 45305 on the tpo in the end.
I'm so glad that I finally get to see this! I bought a copy of Volume 1 last year, but I don't have a DVD player of the proper vintage to play it. Working on that, but I'm just so happy to see the Black Five video after so long! Being from the other side of the Atlantic, I just find it so charming, like a British PRR Class M1. A great way to end the night, cheers from Ohio!
Congratulations on 10 Years Chris: I only wish I’d found this series so much sooner than just a few years ago, but better late than never I suppose haha.
But seriously, this has to be one of my absolute favourite series - not just on UA-cam, but full stop. I love the editing, the music, the PTCs, the amazing visuals and the rich history shown in such an entertaining way. I can see why parts of this may not have aged well in your eyes, it’s still a phenomenal series and comparing this with your most recent SLIP on the 56xxs, it’s amazing to see how much you’ve improved on something that was already pretty amazing.
Here’s to many more years of your incredible work Chris: have a pint of Spitfire and don’t ever stop being awesome!
Congratulations and happy anniversary Chris Eden-Green
I very much enjoyed this upload Chris, just as I'e enjoyed your camera work, and your narration, most of all your passion.
congratulations on 10 years and here's to the next 10+. XXX
Happy 10th Anniversary Chris!
I've been watching for about, 6-8 years now? I remember stumbling on your channel with the free 2800 and 8F SLIPs. And I've stayed ever since. Its been a ride, and I'll stay on till the end. Cheers Chris, don't ever stop being awesome!
Brilliant video Chris. Here’s to another successful ten years for you, onwards and upwards! Cheers 🍺
Congrats! Such a wholesome video, I love this channel so much...greets from Slovenia 🇸🇮
Happy 10 years Chris
yes my favorite loco, superb video chris thank you.
I remember watching the original 2012 cut around the time the series debuted on UA-cam, and speaking of Volume 1 DVD, I did kind of regret not informing you sooner of a skipping error I had in my copy during one of the final episodes on that DVD. (I was very preoccupied with other bits and bobs in my life around the time)
Other than that, congratulations on celebrating 10 years for SLiPs and I will be wishing you and your crew the very best for the big trip to the USA later this year.
Personally, I find the pink black 5 section of the video amusing. It's a decent episode. It's great you're still going. 😊
Happy 10th Chris your shows grown in those 10 years and that’s something to take pride in Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wonderful video, and a very personal account of your experiences, which isn’t always easy to share so thank you Chris, all the best
Happy 10th anniversary.this Chanel brought me back to the train community. Well keep up the good work
I honestly love these types of videos, the producers/directors look back at old videos and tells the story of what happened when filming them.
I'd love to see these more than the full SLIP episodes
Being an American, I love the black paint scheme, there were very few american steam locomotives that differed from the almost all black paint scheme.
Ten years, what a ride its been....i found your channel while the first few episodes of volume 2 were coming out on youtube....heres to more slips in the future....i just ordered the latest dvd, and cant wait to go narrow and miniature lol
Congratulations!
For a video from 2011 UA-cam, I’d say this aged fairly well, Chris. Sure, your camera work is way better now, but the editing was pretty crisp and the whole thing looked reasonably professional, which was new in those days (when half the stuff on the platform was shaky vertical cell phone videos!). The humor being dated definitely makes it an artifact of 2011... I feel like comedy is one of those things that ages quickly.
I really enjoyed listening to you share all the incidents and challenges that went into making that episode. I think it’s quite easy to forget how much work goes into your videos, even for locomotives like the Black Fives that are reasonably common. I’m constantly in awe of it! Good luck on another ten years, I’ll be watching!
Nicely done Chris. I have always enjoyed your videos.
Chris - I've been loving SLIPS for 10 years now. Keep making them! Greetings from the Antipodes!
Congrats on 10 years Chris. I may be from the states, and be biased towards North American equipment, but you've helped me realize something. I always thought European locomotives we're odd looking and not very powerful given the size of their trains, but you helped me grow an appreciation to these engines, and I always look forward to your next video and what I'll learn next.
Since I live in America, I have far too few opportunities to enjoy British stem which I first encountered whilst visiting relatives in Brighton in the late 60s and volunteering at the Bluebell. I far prefer British to American steam..especially the Great Western...and visit when I can. Thank you, Chris, for your wonderful series...keep up the good work. Ad multos annos!
Dan Cronin,

Congrats on ten years! Found your channel through GTI and I couldn’t get of slips when I first watched it !
Happy Anniversary Chris! One of the best reaction videos EVEEEERRRRRR! Your face is a picture, you look terrified in places. You poor thing! Good luck with the next 10 years.
Thank you for 10 years of SLIPS it's been a real inspiration and a joy to watch each episode. Looking forward to the next one and hope you're having a great day.
Bit of a random question Chris, but didn't you say you had some models lying around on your Q&A last year? You're probably way too busy for this, but would you ever get the chance to go through them and show them here? If you don't want to or don't have the time that's fine, I'm just wondering.
Well done on 10 years by the way, here's a glass of Spitfire to another 10 years! 🍺
I feel a review on the BR Standard 5's should be next. Cause there was some good skits in it and it's one of my favorite episodes. It's also the episode that I discovered when I was searching up videos of British steam and how I discovered your channel. And in a way I'm glad I did, cause your content is excellent.
Congratulations on 10 years
I know you said that you didn't like this episode but if you didn't do this as your first and learned from the experience where would you be now?!
Personally I enjoyed the episode and can't wait to see what you do when you come to Australia 1 day
Cheers for your hard work and effort
Safe travels mate
I remember coming across this in the early 2010s, and I’m glad I’ve stuck around. I’d like to see more rewatches, it’s fun to see your hindsight.
Congratulations on ten years, Chris. These old episodes - much like the Black 5 - do the job required pretty well!
Congratulations on reaching your 10 year milestone Chris. Granted that the last decade of SLIPs has had its ups and downs, it is through your focus, energy, commitment and good humour, that we are blessed to enjoy such a documentary serial like this. It's also been a privilege to have met and talked to you in person, at least three times so far. Here's hoping that the next time our paths cross, a few pints will be involved! 😄
Keep up the grand work, and good luck with your forthcoming State-side ambitions. Thumbs up!
Happy 10th Anniversary Chris. Looking forward to seeing your future contents.
Congratulations on 10 years Chris! Long may SLIPS continue, they're always a good watch. Regards, Dan
This has been very interesting to say the least, looking back on your own work 10 years later, and I think it’s a good thing to do,
Congrats on 10 years of Slips Chris, and here’s to another 10 years
Some great shots, my dear chap!! Happy New Year!!
Congrats on ten years, Chris! Thanks for sharing this show with us. It's only made me more interested in steam locomotives. Personally, I think that this episode still holds up well, but I understand being your own worse critic. Again, thanks for all you do!
Happy Belated Tenth Anniversary. It is a pleasure indeed that you've never removed me off your coat-tails, S.O.S.A.G.E (5yrs old this year) would not exist without SLIPs. Have a great time in the USA.
M=
Ah well, you'll have to renew your boiler ticket now!!
Congratulations Chris. 👍
I just love all of your videos. Your attention to detail and insight when comparing the different classes is fascinating! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to your American tour!
A full decade is quite an achievement, and you can celebrate anyway you like, so cheers 🍻
Happy 10th Anniversary Steam Locos in Profile!
I’m glad to say I have only just managed to own and watch every SLIPS DVD before the 10th anniversary! Every single episode has been brilliant, my favourite being the Baldwin 10-12-Ds due to the slight change in the format of the episode, as well as the class being my favourite locomotive design. Here’s to many more years of SLIPS, or whatever your next venture brings!
(Also my beverage of choice today was tea)
Congrats on 10 years
I slept in my car once it's better than the bed of a friends truck
One of the better tripods that Jessop’s sold!! I had one myself!!
I mean, to be fair, Chris. Last year I saw a photo of a locomotive in Japan painted stem to stern in bright pink. The REAL scary part is that it didn't look half-bad in that color.
Congrats on 10 years! I found this enjoyable to watch, especially the sorta behind the scenes info you add aswell!
If possible I think it would be cool to see this done through out the year
Happy 10 years, Chris! Here's to another ten years!
25:23 at least recently there’s been efforts here in the states to install positive train control on steam locomotives so they can roam the high iron again. Looking at you, orhf
Like your Britannia commentary, so interesting to listen to what happened behind the scenes
My favorite class of locomotive
Well done on a whole decade of great British steam content 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
Happy 10 years! Here's to 10 more!
Hey Chris! I loved the video! I'd love to see more of these types, the stories and anecdotes are always really fun to hear
That was a good re-watch Chris I enjoyed it I filmed 44871 loads of times even passing my house too but then again I have travelled on 2 Black Fives so that goes to show its fantastic to rewatch old videos hope to see more in the series too
There were around five LMS Crimson Lake Standard Fives, and about half a dozen green.
Always enjoyable. Many thanks and all the best for the next ten years.
Congratulations on 10 years, here's to the next 10.
Keep on rolling down the tracks with your material, here's to9 another 10 years, and a few pints of Spitfire on the way.
Congrats on the anniversary! I still remember when I first found SLIPs, I think it was the GWR Castle video a few months after it came out. There are some of the older episodes that I still go back to fairly regularly, mostly on a Western theme. It’s always hard to watch back old projects and performances, but I would argue that, in this case, the quality of content, information, and delivery far outweighs any cringe or iffy editing choices (at least, from an audience’s perspective). Since you’ve suffered through one of your least favourite videos for your audience, you could indulge yourself and do a similar re-watch with the one you’re most proud of…. Anyway, here’s to the continued success of SLIPs! 🍻 🚂
I think it’s an all right episode
mass congrats on 10 years of SLIPS great series to watch and the pink black5 was pretty funny hopefully we see another 10 years of slips or gauge the issue hope your keeping safe and well and have a pint on me mate
I remember first seeing SLIPs on Simon A.C. Martin's channel (remember him?)
Hard to believe it has been 10 years, but they have been good to watch over that time.
It does feel the steam out of Euston is not as prolific as it was around 10 years ago, from off the top of my head I recall 45305, 6201, 60019, 70000, 60163 and most memorably 5043 visiting the station around that time. I also have a feeling that 6233, 70013 and 34046 also visited too, although I'd have to check to confirm.
10 years of amazing education on locos and entertainment from Chris! Well Done!
DId you remove the joke Diesel reviews? Those were so funny can't find them anywere :/
An interesting review! Re the occasional use of handheld around 10:30 or so, a lot depends on what’s in use and the conditions. I often do use handheld, with an ‘optical image stabiliser (OIS)’ lens attached to the cam, or just occasionally a monopod, masquerading as a walking pole when I want it to (and sometimes really use it as such on rough ground). A bit of processing during editing can help as well for some short shots.
I like the Ivatt engines with the experimental modifications especially 44686 and 44687
When Christ said “I thought they both looked the same.”
I realised that a lot of stanier designs look identical apart from either the engine have a name or a different wheel configuration (and people say western all look the same)
Well Stanier was a Western man. I'm sure he carried some GWR principles over to the LMS.
Including the we have no differences club
He's not the messiah!!!
He is the messiah
Count me in as someone who'd like to see more of these.
I'm minded to raise a petition to get Hornby to make a special edition pink 'Black 5' now...
Always good to watch and I loved the recap.
Bravo to 10 years of SLIPS. We do of Eps can be done Once Every is cover (in other word It's great work and Don't mess width it )
Great job as always Chris. Love your work!
P.s. "Adding a bit of stubble to the moustache and tickler will make you look super handsome." - Quote from my Mrs.
Even tho it's your first episode, it's still really good
I love how you refuse to put down your drink as if somebody is going to steal it for the first few minutes. My brother does that aswell. Great video mate. 🤣🤣🤣
P.S. I think the Black 5's episode is quite good personally. You did a really good job with wjat you had. :)
What a coincidence! January 6th is also my birthday too!
Happy Anniversary steam locos in profile!
The most recent stream loco I travel behind was a black five. 24:29 that the one!
Great Video Chris Happy 10TH Anniversary to You and SLIPS. Also back on that ago old Debt about a different Color for the LMS Black 5 how about seeing one in BR Exxpress Blue...
I know what it's like having to sleep in a car as a few years back when driving back to Southport from York it was pitch black and I was worn out from traveling on that days "Scarborough Spa Express" with Galatea and after a scare on the M62 from tiredness I ended up stopping outside Manchester and slept all night in my car until the following morning. Parents weren't too pleased about what I did but better alive than dead.
16:02 Oh God, I've just remembered what's coming...
Take a look at The Green Train from the East Hampshire Railway!! That is either hauled by a Standard Five in green, or the same in black!!
Hi Chris,
I've enjoyed SLIPS for quite a long time now - I vaguely recall seeing the initial episodes on Simon Martin's channel when they first aired, but after they went down, and with my schoolwrok at the time, I didn't find myself returning to the series until sometime around 2015/2016, IIRC. I quite liked this episode, and seeing your reaction to it. It's a product of its time in many ways, such as you commented on your attempt at doing humour like the Nostalgia Critic, things like the colour balancing, and some of the shots being a bit - I wouldn't go as far as to say "naff" as you did - but the cinematography has improved much since then. And the audio cut was a bit jarring with the differing quality mid-sentence. However, from the sentence editing I've done for personal projects, I must say, you did a good job of matching your own tone, as it stays mostly consistent throughout.
It's definitely eclipsed by your more recent work, but it still holds up fairly well. I think there's also some charm to see in seeing how good the first episode was, in spite of the fact that you've improved greatly since then (though the Black Five in pink - both photoshopped and painted Hornby-Triang model - made me laugh). In saying that, it's no surprise to me that you have difficulty rewatching this episode, I understand as a filmmaker, and to about any creative, it's incredibly difficult to re-watch/re-read/re-view in any way, your old work. But with that said, I think SLIPS to your abilities as a filmmaker, both then and now, and I'm happy to have seen so much of the journey unfold - and I look forward to seeing where it goes from here. Oh, and also, more videos like this would be a nice treat, in my opinion, but I understand if you'd rather not go on with them.
Happy 10 years to SLIPS!
Eden-Green, YOU'RE A PRAT ! Listen, Lad. Anyone doing something like that as a "first attempt" should be bloody proud ! I don't see anything too wrong with any of it - even captions over the end Euston shot.. You weren't the first-and you won't be the last... The Alton sequence was masterful (or bloody lucky ! ) given how you did it. Risked an idea, total gamble, and it paid off. Yes, it DID . Even the pink Thomas 5 ? YES it could have been worse - I thought it would be the SOLVITE wallpaper fiasco ! (Love the fact your mate Steve "hit you" with that oo abortion - you deserved that...) Apart from the subject matter, I've got to say, this has been like sitting there with you, or on "Zoom" . Thinking "for god's sake Chris , finish that and get another bottle of Spitfire cracked.. NOW ! and stop bloody whinging.............Super. Love ya mate. Great work - even if you can't see it yourself... you prat..... XXX (Happy New Year)
This is pretty good and I actually like it
Please do more reaction videos, there’re interesting to watch
