An outstanding video, never boring, a wonderful record of Bulleid’s magnificent steam locomotives. With the help of the Swanage Railway and the various locomotive preservation societies, you have captured a piece of Britains glorious railway history.
Footnote: This video is very far removed from what was originally hoped for. Things quickly fell apart behind the camera, with various tripod problems among other issues plaguing the weekend. The video has still been uploaded for record sake, but the experience has certainly provided some lessons to learn. That said, here's hoping that the event was a major success for the railway.
A superb record of a wonderful weekend, Matt. You did well to cover so many different locations on what was a very busy weekend. An event that will live along in the memory - hats off to all the organisers and volunteers who made it such a success!
My congratulations Sir that was awesome, with or without your technical issues, well worth the wait. Many thanks for filming, editing and uploading. I watched what I could on Railcam but in glorious silence (!) it ain't the same. Thanks again. 👍🖖
The video I've been waiting for to see the most out of anyone's over the weekend. It's a fantastic watch as per usual. Best hour I've spent watching a video. Might have seen you once or twice over the weekend .
Thank you Though it looks like evening light, it's actually very early morning - somewhen before 6am (the previous clip at Haycrafts Lane was taken at 5am).
Top video! Perfect record of the weekend, a shame 92 failed given its vibrant Malachite but hey these things happen. Thanks for putting together such a brilliant film of the event.
Oh hello, that's me with the thumbs up at 11:09! xD Marvellous footage of an amazing weekend, I was only there for the Friday but it was just incredible ^_^
That was worth the wait Matthew, so glad I didn't go over to the datk side and watch some of the other offerings. What a sight, especially the headboards and Fleche D'or, they stirred up a few grey cells!!! A couple of new locations?? One thing missing - Q1, that would have made a proper Bulleid extravaganza, but don't think that'll happen again?? Thanks as usual for your dedication, hope the pollen count stayed low and the tripod behaved itself.
Thank you very much, Bob! The kind words are always appreciated! Having missed out on the titled trains 7 years ago, and feeling quite regretful about it, it made sense to take full advantage this time around. A couple of lesser used locations, especially those between Norden and Wareham. The Q1 would make a wonderful addition. Fingers crossed for one of the future editions. Since filming the West Hill clips for "Strictly D-Day", the tripod simply hasn't worked smoothly. The legs suffering torsion during panning, while the tilt axis of the head has kept jamming mid-shot. It's resulted in a lot of frustration and second-guessing while filming, which ultimately has led to quite a few mistakes in this video. As for the hayfever, it was awful all weekend.
Two MN s banking with a BB up front? A bit extravagant on 7 coaches. Congratulations to Swanage. Hope they had enough visitors to cover the coal bill. Great video. Great fun
All trains to and from Bridge 4 at the River Frome have to be top and tailed and the instruction is that the loco on the back does not provide any assistance, all the work is done by the loco on the front.
Far removed from what was hoped for? I think it's one of the best of the weekend. We'll done for recognising that the most important thing is that the locos are working hard, and not eschewing tender-first shots if the sound's good. 8:45Now that's quite a challenge; 6 coaches plus two locos on the other end! 😂
Because 8 Bulleids is already a mega achievement, and resulted in a saturated timetable. There is a balance point between getting another loco in, vs any extra bums on seats it could bring in. In any case, 35028 was tied up with its contract with Belmond.
What a fantastic cinematic video of the amazing Strictly Bulleid gala. I’m absolutely gutted I missed it as it seemed to give Swanage railway a lot of fame especially with 8 bulleids, the biggest gathering since 1967. I really hope they do this again and maybe not during my dreaded GCSEs. Be proud of yourself because this is quality😎👍🚂. Also, how do you find all these amazing positions to see them from? Is there a map
Thank you. The kind words really do mean a lot, and are greatly appreciated. With any luck, in years to come, we may get "Strictly Bulleid III". Who knows which ones will be steaming when that rolls around. For the locations, a lot of it comes from experience, having been to and filmed at all the locations previously. Your best bet is check on maps, and any available map of public footpaths. That said, there is no public parking at a few of these locations, and always respect the land owners.

You can’t beat a nice soft chuff. That’s what I say. Something Bullied Pacific’s are good at. As always outstanding photography.
Wonderful. As usual, yours is the most accomplished and watchable compilation I’ve seen (despite the issues you mention).

Thank you, it's appreciated

Thank you very much for the kind words, Jules!
Was very relieved once it was all put together.

Thanks very much
The two MN's were just idling. So 257 was lifting all the weight at that point - over 500 tons worth.

Love the video, thank you. I'm guessing you have a more then one person doing the shooting for you?
Thank you
All the filming and editing is done by one person.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel Well done.

Why wasn’t 35028 here? It was just finished with its overhaul
