Living breathing machines. How anyone could fail to feel the majesty and power in these fantastic manmade beasts is beyond me. Fabulous video, thank you for sharing and reminding me of my youth again. 👍
Great video thank you. My favourite locomotive brings back memory’s from my childhood always loved the sound of the 5s good old British engineering at its finest.
Nothing beats the pure beauty, raw power and visual proof of the power generated by steam locomotives! In Duncan/North Cowichan BC they still have a running 1910 steam train that takes you on a trip through the forest museum!
Ah, the sweet sounds of well maintained 5s at work David. No comment needed about the excellent video quality. How lucky are we to still be able to watch and hear such events? Thanks for sharing. Chris
This winter double-header in England is delightful as these thirteen cars are giving these two steam locomotives a real working load to pull! With excellent skill these two engineers are able to get the train up the grade to more level track where the speed can finally get up to where the horsepower can finally achieve its superiority over the train. And especially please note that the two firemen are not over-firing (using too much coal) for the camera... what we see is primarily the steam exhaust in cold weather... as it really was back in the days of steam!

Back when I was in my late teens and early 20's I worked on both of these locos at Steamtown Carnforth. I wasn't allowed to fire or drive them, that was for the big boys. I had to clean them inside and out. I was part of the Black Hand Gang. But I was able to ride behind them on the first and very early days of them being allowed back on to BR tracks. Stunning locos. Worked their guts out. I am nearly 70 now. Great to see them still working their guts out. ( in the very early days they worked together but tender to tender to Ravenglass and back )
Which brings up some interesting (to me, anyway) questions: how did they balance the load, the pulling force, between the two locomotives? Did they try? Did it matter?
Yes it sure is a great bit of film, you guys have done a excellent job in recording it all, those two steam engine are just work great, thank you from NZ
Great footage and you can not beat the smell off a steam train as it goes past you as you look down from the bridge. It is a sight and smell that takes you right back. Once again fantastic footage of 2 steam giants
I remember these locomotives at Jamaica Station on the Long Island Railroad.....when I was a young boy.... (1943) my Father told me they were disappearing from the scene and he wanted me to remember them.....and I rode on the NY to Boston run during WWII ........Nice memories...
With all the steam & smoke and reciprocating tie rods, rhythmic cylinders pushing the wheels around, and long string of rail cars, one gets a good perception of how much work is being done by the steam engine. Powerful. With diesels and electric locomotives you don't get a sense of the enormous amount of work being performed. Steam locomotives have a heart beat, and that's why we still cherish them.
My maternal grandfather was an engine driver here in Australia, I wanted to be an engine driver too but by the time I grew up diesel locomotives had taken over and therefore I missed my chance. R.I.P. George Arnold
These guys are cruisin. Absolutely perfect. Big thanks for NOT adding music. I do remember seeing these when I was little.

Living, breathing machines. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Great video thank you. My favourite locomotive brings back memory’s from my childhood always loved the sound of the 5s good old British engineering at its finest.
Superb! I grew up in the steam era and have always missed those trains.
This was simply a fantastic video. Very well done, and what a show. Thank you
Fitting tribute to one of the most successful, versatile and sheer hardworking designs in British Steam engine history. Lovely to see them in tandem.
This video make me to remember my childhood,what the beautiful days wear.
This pair has travelled all over the UK David, and always put on a great show...reliability second to none, and a much treasured pairing....Bob

Fabulous footage - thanks indeed.
Excellent video! You have a great eye for photography. Perfect angles.
What an absolute beauty! And great work on taking those shots!
Красотааа!!! Спасибо тем людям, кто сохранил это...
Thanks for sharing this best video on Trains ever.
I'm pretty sure I couldn't pick a Five out of a lineup, but happily watched to the end for the superb shooting & editing
Lovely to see these majestic steam beasts even on electrified tracts.
Nostalgia of the years gone by . Putaruru to Rotorua New Zealand. Amazing.
Great filming, thank you.
No problem and thanks very much!

I came here after watching "BIG BOY". At 3:01 they're rollin'! How fast? Gorgeous! Thx for sharing!💖
from Chile, thank you very much.
Wonderful video.
You are welcome - thank you very much.
Amazing sights and sounds from the two 'Black Fives'. A most enjoyable video!

Great camera work!!!
Excellent video!!! thank you for the post!
Super compilation David of two of the most reliable locos in the country
Thanks very much Austin - they have put in so many memorable performances and I agree with you that 44871 seems a little louder than most!
Pure quality filming.. Excellent just had to subscribe...
Perhaps one of the best videos on steam locos.
From Chile: Thank you very much for the beautiful video.
Merry Christmas to all
Excellent video. Gorgeous machines.

I love the sounds of a train or trains its so relaxing and calming too !!
What an enormous, imposing, impressive, and mesmerizing presence these engines have!
One of the most beautiful train videos in the youtube.
Holy smokes.. These two locos are the tough old birds.. Much more than an iron man... Treat to the eyes..

mohit gupta Yes. Treat to the senses all 5 of them.
Thanks this video took me in the past
Incredible capture, great music.
fantastic footage, especially at 3:13!! - many thanks!
The most beautifull You Tube video i have ever seen.

What a sound!! Fantastic. Beautiful train.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding!
Oh what I wouldn't have given to have seen my dad get his hands on one of those.
Listen to that sound! Fabulous!!
Nice compilation! Congratulations!!!
Very nice video. Looking so awesome. Thanks to showing... Great journey...❤

Amazing shots
I feel satisfied watching this
What a joyous five minutes!
Probably the best video on UA-cam
Despite daunting gradients, those two locos looked and sounded supremely confident with their load.

Yes it sure is a great bit of film, you guys have done a excellent job in recording it all, those two steam engine are just work great, thank you from NZ
Don Sinclair our equivalent would be an Ab double thunder in the NIMT possibly 608 and 663
Stunning video. These trains are still agile!!
WoW ! I grew up with steam trains invthe hunter Valley, NSW Australia. No matter which country they are in,they always provoke lovely memories.
Great video, thanks for taking me trackside😀
Great shots & locations. Bloody marvelous. ☺
Thanks very much indeed! Much appreciated :)
Linesider Video nice my memories .goes bk to 60s most steam engine working wooden body coaches
I never imagined the 5's could run like that! I'm envious that you got to experience it.
They and the Jubilees were the mainstay of passenger work on the Midland Mainline in the 50s and 60s and they could both run like the wind.
Excellent video, thank's for sharing.
Nigel England many thanks Nigel, much appreciated!
My gracious! Such excitement!!
2 of Stanier's finest. As good as it gets!
Oh WOW.... Superb video footage.
What a photography and beautiful sound.😁🙏
Many thanks!
O ho superb, we can not believe.this ,but mechanical engineering shows us, the perfection ....
Brilliant video. Always like to see Class 10 steam locos! Well done
Great footage and you can not beat the smell off a steam train as it goes past you as you look down from
the bridge. It is a sight and smell that takes you right back.
Once again fantastic footage of 2 steam giants
Magnificent video . A joy to view
I remember these locomotives at Jamaica Station on the Long Island Railroad.....when I was a young boy.... (1943) my Father told me they were disappearing from the scene and he wanted me to remember them.....and I rode on the NY to Boston run during WWII ........Nice memories...
Iron giants sad that there ain't more of them on the tracks such a beautiful piece of engineering with a unique sound..i was born in the wrong era..
Superb footage
excellent filming
fantastic!
Great video and sound. Thanks Mike
Many thanks Mike - nothing like a single chimney bark!

This is very wonderful.Most steam locomotives were disappeared in my country long before I was born...
Outstanding video cheers
