Happy viewing,

The s15 is my favourite engine on the bluebell railway
Excellent mix of locos, trains and paraphernalia. Good sound too
Very pleased you like it, thank you for your comment. The sound is very important I think - now, if we could find a way of capturing the smell too :-)
What a beautiful video! You really are very skilled at this. Better than many so called professionals. Vey well done indeed.
You are far too kind, thank you for your comment - I do enjoy the whole process, filming and editing. So lucky to have such scenery, wildlife and excellent steam railways.
Top video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Stuart. It really is my pleasure to produce these videos of such a great subject.
That was a brilliant video and thank you for sharing it.
Thank you Graham. My pleasure indeed.
Beautifully shot,very atmospheric Although I am Brit,I usually model American O ,but I must say the British scene is very inviting.
Thank you for your kind comment John.
Amazing
Thank you for your kind comment. Nick.
Great compilation and I particularly liked the distant pan of the B12 around 12 mins. Dare I ask how large this video file is?
Thank you Mike, for your comment. The distant pan was from a location I have used before but when there were fewer leaves on the trees and I was quite pleased with that. People filming from the lineside told me that the engine was largely obscured by steam on the sunny side. The video takes up 23.7 GB approximately
23GB! Ouch, how long did that take to upload?
I'm going to have to try some better lit shots and not ones shooting straight into the winter sun.
A few hours, I left it overnight.
The loc in the works is the standard 4 tank 2-6-4T 80151.
Yes, quite. And coming on nicely. Nick.
yes thanks for sharing, but what are those things like barrels on 847's tender
Thank you for your comment Tom. Good question, I believe the cylinders on the tender are reserve tanks for the vacuum braking system.
Thank you for the reply
Some awesome work there, what camera did you film it on?
Thanks Matt.
I use a Canon XHA1 - about 9 years old I think.
