In wonderful 'nick' for 100 years old. Hope I'm running around like that in 25 years time.

I was on this train - my favourite part had to be going through the Severn Tunnel, but I enjoyed every minute of this day out... Sensational! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊

Exceptional and well done, the best video I've watched this year, quite and original idea. Good sound considering the wind. I hope some of my 4.4 M viewers watch it to. Mike on the platform in Cardiff

Is the camera mounted to a lamp bracket?

Hi, no it’s fixed to the running board by a magnet.

You can feel that she wants to go faster. The safety valve now and then. What was the top speed here?

@Shoddy127 Жыл бұрын

We’re registered to go up to 75mph on the national network.

@@Shoddy127 Thanks for the info! I remember now that when you drive steam train rail tours on Midland Main Line in TSW 3 you get 75 mph on the HUD though the line speeds are higher. Must be fun to let go at at least that speed.

Which camera did you use to record this.

GoPro Hero 4 Silver, it’s not a recent one but does what I want it to do comfortably.

@@Shoddy127 if I knew how plus had the correct gear I wouldn't mind trying to create films like that but the issue will be how to attach it. Plus the other issue would be getting permission off someone.
