Wow! That's the sound of a loco working hard! The sound on the footplate would be tremendous

What an amazing display of power from the 8! Superb effort from the fireman and quality driving to. Be great when 48151 is back soon. JG.

What a joy to see and hear an engine working so energetically. Filmed with your usual skill. Thanks for sharing - Chris

Superb sound from such an extreme workhorse. You can't ask for anything more. Thanks for sharing. Jeff

What A Sound!!!! I love these locos just because of the power... it immense!

I travelled behind her in 1989, and the run is on mainline 89. On that occasion, she reached 72 mph, it was the drivers last day on the footplate, and he wanted to go out in style. He was presented with a plaque on Garsdale station. There is one clip near Lazonby i think it is, and you cannot believe how fast the wheels are turning. An amazing engine in the right hands.

Cheers Steffan - indeed, the strength of the engine and steam more generally is exemplified no more so than on climbs like this.

Awesome...black 8 power. Wish trains would pull in stations like this again Thanks for posting

Cracking bit of film of a great Loco. You are right up there with ACW71000 and Slatgrille as being one of the best filmers of UK steam on KZfaq. Well done.

thats has to be one of the best videos iv seen of a loco been worked how it should be worked i love it steam is king 5 stars

5 stars from me too: great long shot, fab sound and shows just what the 8F can do on big valve.

this really is a brilliant video,captured the essence of what the s and c is all about,shows the 1 in 100 gradient superbly alan sattenstall+

Some kid falls off his skateboard on you tube and it gets 2 million hits, while this beauty gets 58,000. It's a crime really. Beautiful video, shot expertly, with high quality audio to boot. Well done Linesider.

Keep coming back to this clip. That sound. Wow!

As an ardent diesel fan I really must say that this video was little short of incredible! Thank you for posting

1 in 100, which is the most severe gradient on the S&C. A route built with expresses in mind, even if the climbs did last for 15 miles.

Really good video. Good to see the other train going by.

Thanks very much for the comments everyone - they're all greatly appreciated, even 12 months on from this epic spectacle.

Cant beat a Black 8! Superb. Rosegrove shed RIP.

That's absolutely stunning, top marks to the driver aswell! Wonderful video, thanks for sharing :-)

Great video. 48151 seemed to be storming up the bank and risk breaking her 50mph speed limit.

Hey linesider I'm a bit late with my comments but this is such a wonderful video that I must congratulate you on your positioning and quality of photography! That loco is a little fighter and makes short work of a 12 coach train. Pretty spectacular. Great work!

not a fan of steam videos usually but this is the best steam vid i've seen on youtube

Excellent video! The sound and the picture are great aswell as the train. 5* + Favorite

Supperb effort! I remember that loco at Dai Woodhams in Barry and look at it now. This was shot from a good lineside location and caught the moment well.

Thank you very much Alan (and everyone else for the continued kind comments).

YARRRR likeing this loco working hard GREAT STUFF AND WHAT A SOUND 5 STARS

This is a priceless piece of footage! 5* Well Done!

Wonderful, just wonderful. Thanks for posting Tom

This just shows you the true power of steam. Great shot!!!

Blitzes is the word! Five stars all the way.

Cheers - that's all thanks to a brilliant crew and a gentle northerly wind.

She hardly notices the climb! great video.

one of the best videos on youtube. fantastic

Never thought that a shunting engine that my grandad talks about could be so magnificent and powerful.

Wow, that's some footage. I'm much more a fan of American steam, but this was really something, especiall without single slip on the way up, and the throttle wide open! 5/5

I just love this footage of the 8F. Brilliant, as is the rest of your material. I was about to subscribe to your videos when I received an e-mail saying you were subscribing to mine!! Thanks

That was absolutely awesome!

Great filming.

Thats fantastic, long live stanier

Ah right - I've never fully understood these steam loco's! Thanks for enlightening me.

Wow! Awesome pic! Thanks for sharing!

awesome video

lovely sound, lovely place.

Thanks very much. Aye we seem to have found each others videos at the same time - I'm enjoying your 80s/90s shots very much.

Very nice video!

Holy moly! Superb!

thanks..some of our mainlines over the ranges here are 1 in 35 !

Very, very good video, would have loved to have been there!

Simply awesome! 5* without a doubt

@bolendoc Thank you very much. There must be some some really historic moments in your footage. There are so many runs from those times that I wish I could have captured; 46229 on its Blue Riband runs, 1000 and 5690 double heading... There is some super 8mm footage up on KZfaq from acw71000 which is so valuable.

Usual cracking shot David.

This is great!

That is one helluva climb,,,

Thank you. I was alone, which looking back seems bizzare!

An awesome video, 5 out of 5.

that was amazing!

one word - awesome

Awesome video. I can practically smell the smoke just watching it. 5*

I've just noticed that this carries straight on from "48151 on the Settle and Carlisle with "The Dalesman" 190807 From: sfaadaa", which you'll probably find in the 'related viedos' box. Quite neat,that. (no, it's not a plug, I just thought it was neat.)

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. I'm not sure what speed, I'm guessing about 35 at best?

Thanks you - quite a noise she makes isn't it!

Amazing !

I used to drive the 43's out of Kings X up the ECML... With 4500 hp under the bonnet ( 2250 hp ) one up front and one up the botty there was plenty of power on tap... Pulling out of the station on notch five with the Paxman Valenta turbo's screaming their little heads off and clouds of exhaust smoke ( sorry Greta Thunberg ) was something to behold with more excitement to enjoy... 125 mph here we come although they would top 148 mph... Now there is food for thought but as I did not fancy tea and biscuits with the Boss well need I say more...

Brilliant, pitty about the 158!

what is the peak gradient here please?..awesome clip..the poor DMU looks very wimpy !

Magnificent!!!

Bueno...sin nieve tambien se ve muy bien...realmente viene haciendo fuerza...!!! good...!!!

That gradient is absolutely cruel to a steam engine! It's mind boggling!

I was watching Marsden Rail 27 (the one about the S&C, great DVD btw) and it showed quite a few 8F's double heading freight trains. Would the 8F normally need double heading on the S&C up this part?

Yeah, although I think she was only doing 30 as there is a 30mph slack over the top at the moment. I think the 2 cylinder beat makes it sound faster than other engines at this speed.

great!

Lovely work, great sound. Eerily similar sound to our much more powerful and bigger wheeled NSW Australian 38 class, comments anyone ? Of course in Australia we don't call 1 in 100 a bank ... 1 in 75s are normal, 1 in 40s rate a mention

Powerful

Haha, I don't know, if we all knew how loco's would perform beforehand, it'd be a lot easier to decide what to go and see!

great shot, so cool and professional but definately too much wide angle as she passes..a very common mistake

@scotty21h How??

Its not so much the 2-cylinder beat as the small driving wheels. You've got 4 beats per revolution on 4'8 1/2'' wheels there, as opposed to, say, 4 beats per revolution on a 6' driving-wheeled Black Five. That's an absolutely cracking shot you've got there nonetheless!

You're welcome - hope you had a good birthday!

Fantastisch.

To gainsbourg66: I like the wide angle. I want to actually see the scene as in real life. It is zooming too close that is the mistake in my opinion.

Gorgeous.......

420 by my reckoning!

@theredraven Depends on what the 8F had to pull up there of course. There's the better part of 500 tons behind the drawbar of this one, & it doesn't look like it's struggling. A single engine should certainly handle 650 tons.

Ta very much. I'll PM you details of my camera...

Brilliant! BTW, I've got some 8F parts off 48364 if anyone wants to buy them.

Fanbloodytastic.

joyful

thats wot i call power pulling at least 300 tonnes

i bet that dmu driver was green with envy

A pity about that DMU! I bet there were a few people swearing as it spoilt a great shot.

What is going on, I get a autominus request from youtube instigated by your company that states that there is a copyright problem, as I was sent the video and told that it was taken by a friend minus any copyright and the music composed by a good friend minus any copyright I would like to know what is the problem. I have emailed Julian on the email address provided and am told by that person that he is not lineside video despite your name showing up on the bottom of his email. This is far from being professional.

1:08 a train is coming he’d on

The bobby should have had the decency to hold the DMU at his distant signal so as not to spoil the shot!

Who says a heavy freight engine can’t put up a turn of speed and a grand show. Long time ago but still dramatic. August is supposed to be warm and nice.... oh yes this is the UK I nearly said Scotland. --Amacf

@Nigel16032009 Bet he got a lesson on how railways should be!
