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.
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!
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
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 )
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
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 video! Great Locomotives! Finally a videographer who knows how to properly film a photo runby- and deftly done! I love when they run so fast that the exhausts blend in and sound almost like an internal combustion engine. Hoo-aaah! Great steam fix. Black Fives rule!
I grew up in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. It was a large railroad hub in the 50s. We used to ride our bikes track side to wave and holler as these steel dragons rushed past, all noise, smoke and fury. Then one day we watched the first diesel go by. The engineer was all waves and smiles, obviously proud of the new generation of locomotives. We didn't wave back, we felt a bit sad. We seldom went to the tracks again.
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
lots of great comments below, but the most awesome thing about these trains is to be there, while they pass, feeling the ground move, hearing the power, smelling the smoke and steam and just feeling a wonder when they pass...awesome...
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?
complimenti cari per questo stupendo video e per le riprese favolosi bellissimo convoglio in transito in doppia trazione in testa grazie di cuore un caro saluto dalla sicilia giuseppe
You're standing at the plow as generations of your people have. It's raining and the mud is heavy on your grandfather's boots.Then, from the distance of God knows where, comes a pounding rave of black heat and steam that tears your world in two. Your side of the track and and t'other. The storm passes and takes the present with it, but it leaves the question... You are worthy of this, will you stand there?

These guys are cruisin. Absolutely perfect. Big thanks for NOT adding music. I do remember seeing these when I was little.
This video make me to remember my childhood,what the beautiful days wear.
Fitting tribute to one of the most successful, versatile and sheer hardworking designs in British Steam engine history. Lovely to see them in tandem.
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. 👍
Living, breathing machines. Couldn't have said it better myself.
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
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.
the opening scenes were a piece of art.
fridgid and beautiful.
Superb rhythm I loved the acoustic of 2 five S loco, thanks for sharing David
Fantastic video. Very well filmed. Thank you.
What a pleasure to watch, David! Thank you. Bob K.
Many thanks Bob - much appreciated!
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
Just beautiful! The locomotives and the filming and editing talent. Thank you.
I've spent a few early mornings at Manchester Victoria watching these two Black Fives do their stuff, always worth turning up for. Great footage.

Perhaps one of the best videos on steam locos.
these steam driven trains give me the feeling of many years ago, beatifull!!

Thanks very much Chris - I quite agree, especially as I was some way off in '68!

Incredible capture, great music.
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.
Great filming, thank you.
No problem and thanks very much!
Amazing!! Loved every second. Just wish I could be on it.
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
from Chile, thank you very much.
Wonderful video.
You are welcome - thank you very much.
Probably the best video on UA-cam

Don Sinclair our equivalent would be an Ab double thunder in the NIMT possibly 608 and 663
This is very wonderful.Most steam locomotives were disappeared in my country long before I was born...

Thank you very much, much appreciated and apologies for the slow reply. Can't beat a black five!
O ho superb, we can not believe.this ,but mechanical engineering shows us, the perfection ....
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!
Excellent video! You have a great eye for photography. Perfect angles.
I came here after watching "BIG BOY". At 3:01 they're rollin'! How fast? Gorgeous! Thx for sharing!💖
Superb compilation David. Great performance from the 2 Black 5s. They are so reliable . Kind regards C&A
Many thanks C&A - I quite agree, and can't remember either failing.
*Nice video. Thanks For Sharing. Great footage! Best regards from Vietnam*

Lovely to see these majestic steam beasts even on electrified tracts.

The most beautifull You Tube video i have ever seen.
What an enormous, imposing, impressive, and mesmerizing presence these engines have!

What a joyous five minutes!
Nice compilation! Congratulations!!!
Thanks for sharing this best video on Trains ever.
Fabulous footage - thanks indeed.
lots of great comments below, but the most awesome thing about these trains is to be there, while they pass, feeling the ground move, hearing the power, smelling the smoke and steam and just feeling a wonder when they pass...awesome...
Emkay 4Q2 I think people appreciate that but a video recording such events is perhaps worthwhile?
Very good,,superb Shooting, clear views showing,power of steam. ,
Many thanks Hemant, glad you enjoyed it.
Must be amazing to watch live. Hearing this sound is priceless.
WoW ! I grew up with steam trains invthe hunter Valley, NSW Australia. No matter which country they are in,they always provoke lovely memories.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
I love the sounds of a train or trains its so relaxing and calming too !!
Oh my gosh, this is wonderful!
Thanks this video took me in the past
Despite daunting gradients, those two locos looked and sounded supremely confident with their load.

Awesome videos and trains ! :)
The title of the filming shows that you made a very good point.
Great video and sound. Thanks Mike
Many thanks Mike - nothing like a single chimney bark!
Thanks for sharing an excellent video.
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..
Nostalgia of the years gone by . Putaruru to Rotorua New Zealand. Amazing.
Amazing sights and sounds from the two 'Black Fives'. A most enjoyable video!
