Some of the most famous steam locomotives in the world working hard on some of the most spectacular scenery in the world! What more could you ask for? The sounds alone are worth a king's ransom!

I must admit autumn and winter are my favourite filming times Steve and looking at these great shots of yours again only reinforces that view with some great light and tremendous exhausts. A very enjoyable compilation.

A wonderful compilation Steve, and I recognised many of my favourite clips! There's an amazing variety of weather conditions most of which I'm sure were pretty challenging for you personally and for shooting the clips. It says a lot for your dedication to the task that you braved the atrocious conditions on some clips, and managed to get there and home again. Well done for a great viewing. Cheers. Ken

My Mum's dad Maurice Vaughan wrote a little mechanical book about trains ~100 years ago and I think she said he drove the Cornish Riviera but I might just be remembering he was from Cornwall so I'm unsure on that bit. He was a train driver (engineer).

Great video! Almost like being there! Except for one thing - when you don't follow the engine with the camera as it steams past you, is it not possible to do so? That's what you'd do with your eyes if you were there. A lot of USA cameramen do the same - always puzzled me....

Thanks for the kind comment . Most of the locations are ones that mean I just set the camera up and leave it running as a wall or a tree would get in the shot if I followed the train with the camera . Regards Steve

Sorry, but I'm not tuned in where you shot your video. I'm confused between Britain & S. Aftican, although I believe many S. African Trains esp. engines where made in England... Also, what type of camera were you using, sound mic, lens, and the film settings for your great shots...curious?

+IAWA Images Scotland and perhaps northern England. LNER London North Eastern Region. Union of South Africa was an A4 streak locomotive probably out of Liverpool Street Station. I saw one, Thane of Fyfe I think. A4 streak locomotive Mallard holds world steam record (likely for ever) of 128 mph.

+IAWA Images Its in the North West of England mainly . I use a JVC Everio HD 5 and also a Panasonic tm900 with Rode stereo video mic inside a Rode blimp for cutting the wind noise .
Mainline steam the lost footage a blast from the past .
