14 жыл бұрынAfter much hard work and planning, Tyseley based immaculate Ex GWR Castle 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe re-enacted the famous 1950's 'Bristolian' Non-Stop from London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads and return. We see the train arrive 10 minutes early at Temple Meads, before it departs to Bristol St Phillip's Marsh for servicing The maroon vehicle behind the loco has been converted as a water carrier, which means that long runs can be made without a second tender. Finally being towed in by Tyseley owned 47480 County Of Essex, the train is seen departing Dead on Time from Platform 1. Not much action, but a detailed look at this superbly turned out locomotive...enjoy.

Lovely compilation from Bristol, of a special occasion. The Earl looks immaculate! The GUV looks to be a useful item for future runs. Thanks for sharing Brian

Raised many happy memories - I was the NR rep on the train ringing our control and signal boxes - especially on return to London, for a good run - signallers and loco crew did well. Driver Poole saying he'd never had every signal green Bristol to Padd! Many thanks for posting P

So far as train videos go, You have that magnificent entrance to the station, an absolutely mint looking engine complete with coaches plus the sun is shining making it a gorgeous day, and to cap it all off, we have a very experienced filmmaker with an eye for detail in charge of the camera...!! What more can I say. This film ticks all the boxes Bob, you did it proud. Absolutely superb camera work from start to finish... 10* from me :-)) Oh well Thumbs up then. :-))

Great footage of the superb Earl of Mount Edgcumbe Bob! I have to admit I go a bit goggle eyed when this loco is around! Well captured as always but when compared to your recent work it just shows what a superb piece of kit the x920 is, and that's no detriment to this video. Thanks. Ken

Looks like another good day out! Excellent and very enjoyable video of a great loco. Bags of steam and atmosphere. You seemed to be joined by a great many fellow enthusiasts. One thing that struck me was that, unlike yourself, so many of them got so close to the loco that they couldn't see it properly! Nice one again Bob.

@GreatWestern175 Thanks Ry, not the best day I've had filming, the train arrived at plat 10 which isn't the most photogenic, it came in 10 mins early and caught many on the hop, and there was very little excitement at the arrival or departure, with just one brief blow on the whistle and gently away, so it left me with the only option of capturing all parts of the loco....Bob

Didn't need to guess where you were going Saturday! LOL! I sense from some of your other comments that you were a bit disappointed with the way events turned out. I think this video is one of your best where you have attempted to squeeze every last ounce of creativity out of difficult circumstances. A definite "Favourite" and the last award of 5* I'm ever making! These weather conditions have lead to stunning imagery over the past few weeks. Jet aircraft screw up the atmosphere!! - LOL! Mike

Nicely filmed record of the days events Bob ,Sometimes its nice to just watch the station activity and close shots of a well turned out loco and crew. The Castle is a credit to Tysley along with their imaginative thinking with the GUV. Certainly looks better than the infrequently used water carrier for the King. Mike

@acw71000 I'd travelled up from West Wales by train Austin, which restricted my movements, and I was hoping for an arrival under Brunel's overall roof, but it came in on Plat 10, it arrived at platform 1 for the departure, but again they didn't start from under the canopy, so I was disappointed in that respect.....so all that was left was to film detailed shots...Thanks as always...Bob

@@robmasterman I'm a lifelong model engineer having built 6 passenger hauling steam locos. My father was a driver on the LMS for 47 years. My step daughter is Cambodian and in 2017 when visiting UK we had a day out on the Shakespeare Express with 5043 and Ray as the driver. Ray invited my step Daughter, Ying 26 and myself onto the footplate. Ying was so happy, it gave her such a lot street cred when she went back to Cambodia!
