I was born and grew up in the UK. I'm old now, and I doubt I shall travel to the UK again, but well shot video like this almost makes me feel as though I am visiting. Thank you.

A lovely moody opening shot and some superb filming. Most enjoyable. I could only hear the locos but not see them. I was working across the road at Sheffield Park and garden. Thanks for the memories.

To see a Bulleid loco pulling a rake of Bulleid coaches behind the tender is site for sore eyes, the matching profile of coach and tender couldn't be better. This was an easy day out for Clan Line. The Schools pulling a rake of Southern green coaches also takes me back to the early 60's, though the cleanliness of Cheltenham is something you didn't see in the 60's! Great video.

Stunningly beautiful film of the Bluebell railways gala. I love the scene setting shots ,brilliant use of the zoom lens and (Thank goodness) not to much panning. Wonerful

Some great footage! I had a great day there! Cheltenham is one of my favourite locos, plus the chance to ride behind Clan Line! It was epic! Equally I’d not seen either of their home fleet which were operating the service trains. Whilst I had seen and been behind the H Class before - it’s a beautiful loco so I was pleased to see it out again 🙂

I must say, that tender-first panned shot of Clan Line is excellent. The light really shows it off well. And of course those against the light shots at the beginning and7:45; that latter one could be somewhere between Salisbury & Exeter

Beautiful quality of footage and sound! I didn’t know there was so much old coaching stock, it seems to be breeding! Always loved the Schools Class because I built the Meccano No. 10 set model 35 years ago. It’s so nice I never took it apart. Even though it’s a huge model, it hardly effected the stock of parts in the set! 🤣

Thanks very much! The Bluebell is a hive for vintage rolling stock - compliments their locos very well. That must be some model!

Thanks for recording and presenting this wonderful event in your unique style. The weather seems to have blessed this event, when other recent weekends have been drenched with downpours. As the seasons shift the crisp sound, crystal clear images and your careful framing will be revisited during the coming dark, dank dreary downtime. Thank you for sharing yet another of your tributes.

Very nice-only drawback is that it made me wish i was there. Great to see some classic Southern locos operating in a beautiful and very English [if you know what i mean!] kind of setting.

Should that not read "Southern Giants of Steam"?!!!! Some cracking shots of 35028 (apart from the going backwards one!!!!) and always good to see and hear a Schools . You had better weather this weekend, was that a heat haze on those track panels?!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@TheSouthernerYTChannel2 жыл бұрын
Haha, very true! Thanks very much! Clan Line really does loan herself well for video, even if I did do her a disservice by showing her in reverse. Believe it or not, that was a heat haze - probably the last one of the year.

Thank you. Don't believe so - it's understood that the MNLPS have both a black set and a red set, swapping them periodically.
