Many thanks for your kind comments. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video

Merci Philippe. Ils sont l'une de mes classes préférées de locomotive

Many thanks Bob, I was surprised at how much material I had especially when the pair of them don't do too much of their work up north. Certainly made me realise how much mainline steam is being missed

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I do like the sound of a Brit working hard

Arsenal ,lose to many matche,s to lower sides .Good run needed .

Always been amongst my favourite locos. Glad you enjoyed the video and many thanks for watching

Thanks for your kind comments. Really glad you enjoyed the video

Thank you very much Geoff, glad you enjoyed the video

Thank you very much, I enjoy putting these compilations together and seeing the clips in a different light

Thanks John, not too many things can beat the sound of a Brit in full cry for me.

Thanks Gavin, I enjoy making the compilations so it never seems like hard work. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Steve, as you say it is surprising how much footage we gather, I never thought I had this much on Brits and there was quite a bit left out too! You must have enough for a noisy Scot compilation. It keeps us happy during the ban anyhow!

Thanks very much Julian, glad you enjoyed the compilation

Thanks for watching. They are superb locos with such a wonderful sound. We're very fortunate that we have two of them preserved

Thanks for your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed the video

Thanks for your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed the video

Many thanks, the Britannia's are certainly one of my favourite locomotives, such a wonderful sound

Cheers Dave, at least you're not too bad in the south with Clan Lines outings to give you the steam fix. I bet Steam Dreams wish they'd stayed with DBS!

acw71000 Hehe. Clan Line is out next Friday and I suspect that every location will be crammed with photographers trying to get their steam fix! Cheers, Dave.

Indeed. We are very fortunate to be able to enjoy so much steam action

Thanks very much Bob. I've always had a soft spot for the Brits especially after having been on a few excursions hauled by 70013 around 1967-8. Now where did all those years go and how did I get old!

They are favourites of mine as well. I saw 70013 a number of times in the early 60s at Stratford on trains from Liverpool Street. My liking for Britannia stems from a double-page cutaway drawing in a childrens' encyclopedia - a birthday present in the late 50s, which I still have. I suppose the fact that we still remember that far back is a good thing!

Thanks Steve, I'd had this compilation in mind for a while and seeing 70000 again at the WSR spurred me on! They are great locos

Thank you. I do hope Britannia is back in action soon especially with 70013 retiring for a while

Thanks very much, like you I really thought when putting this together how much we would miss scenes like these if there was less steam in the future. Hopefully it'll eventually be sorted

Cheers Liam, I have to say they are one of my favourite classes of loco

Many thanks Mike, how are things with you

Makasih jgaa

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video. Be good if that exhaust smell could be bottled!

Thank you, glad you liked it

Thanks Alan, putting it together made me realise how much we need mainline steam and how lucky we have been to have had so much over the years

Merci Martine. Je suis content que vous ayez aimé la vidéo

Thank you, the Brits always seem to put on a good show, one of my favourite classes of engine

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

Hi Sam, thanks very much. My wife and I are coming up for Friday and Saturday so we'll probably see you about in all the usual spots. I was looking forward to hearing Kinlet barking up the gradients but hopefully she may make it some other time

Many thanks Alan, it gives me the shivers just thinking about it but no, there wasn't a fence, the bullocks chased me out of the field, never ran so fast in all my life! I wouldn't mind but it was a public footpath too

Many thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it

No problem mate😀

Thanks, I don't think there's a lot to beat the sound of a hard working Britannia

There's a look of determination about them too!

Thanks Noel, I have done one or two featuring the mighty Duke a few years ago but they were in VHS so not the best quality, here's the link to one on the S & C kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLF3nqWh3NXVkZs.html

Hi Dane and thanks for your kind comments. The shot you mention is the Cefn Mawr Viaduct near Chirk in Wales.

Thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed it

Hi Austin ,Great.....Dave

Thanks John, that is the fine Roman city of Chester

Thanks, most of these shots were captured on a Panasonic X920. I'm currently using a Panasonic X870

That's correct Jeff, southbound

Thank you!

Cheers, I wouldn't say bored as the ban offers new opportunities to visit more preserved lines and film a bit more modern freight that I've never got round to

Thank you

So true! Many people comment on the sights but it’s the sound that stirs the emotions!

Yes, Britannias are noisy locos!

Quite true, many thanks

Thanks

They do indeed, thanks for watching

Definitely, and not always appreciated just how much steam we can still enjoy

Wow, that must have been wonderful, hard work though for the fireman

You've summed up the Britannias perfectly. I do think they are quite an attractive design though

Yes, useful locos able to go pretty well everywhere
