The only thing missing which would have knocked the nostalgia up a few more notches is the sound of fish-plate joints under the wheels... Lovely vid. Thanks

A truly beautiful engine but please restore her back to her original number 4472 and give her back the apple green livery. Because that is her original garb!!!!!!!

Oh… well, if it was someone’s ashes……. who ever scattered them over the flying Scotsman…. Obviously didn’t know there was going to be a camera placed on the front of the train. If that’s the case… i take back what i commented earlier. Thanks.

What do the numbers behind some of the station's names mean? For example, Worthing - 1 in 754?
@Shoddy127 4 ай бұрын
Hi lolookie1682, that is the gradient of the track, basically saying how steep the railway climbs. The bigger the number, the less steep it is.

Fantastic video mate! Shame this technology wasn’t available before modernized stations, electronic signaling etc. Would’ve been great to see nothing but the older stations, all the loads of signal boxes, signalmen waving, and semaphore signals galore! It was great in the 1980s before modernization a real Time Machine.

Hi mate, got some great videos on your channel, I’m looking at achieving similar footage when I’m out and about driving. I’d like to know how you set up your GoPro to get such long/high quality footage and how you mount it to the loco if that is something you would be happy to share? Many thanks!
@Shoddy127 5 ай бұрын
Hi KC, thanks for the comment! The GoPro is mounted onto the running board via a magnet. I also have an external battery & microphone which are all connected together which allows the better sound (in theory) & longer recording time. The battery is placed into a box to protect it from the weather & “grime” that comes from the engine. Like the camera, the microphone & battery box are held in place with magnets. It’s taken some time to get right but I think I’ve finally got there!

If it’s the tapping sound you’re referring too then that will be the snifting valves working when the driver has closed the regulator.

Are you sure it is wind noise? I take it you are thinking of the rumble at speed. I suspect it is wheel noise and I don't think any box will get rid of it. Anyway, it is not obtrusive and is a natural noise of an engine at speed. So, don't worry about it, as we aren't worried by it.

@Shoddy127 6 ай бұрын
Hi LazerJet, I’ve been involved with mainline support crew duties for nearly 20 years now & had a railway background through my family so I’ve been lucky in a sense to be able to carry the tradition on. Unfortunately riding on an engine on the mainline isn’t an easy task as you need a PTS certificate which allows cab access & a sponsor for the PTS itself. The PTS is also renewed every 2/3 years too.

Hi & thanks for the kind comments! Thats something to potentially consider in the future but what must be remembered is that monitoring the cut off etc would be extremely difficult as this would interfere with the driver carrying out his work so unless I got another 3 or 4 cameras, it would be quite difficult to do unfortunately.

Fabulous video, aboard such a fabulous, iconic, beautiful steam locomotive, but WHY oh WHY does she have to carry those ghastly German-style (of ALL things), smoke deflectors?? YUK! I think that, if Sir Nigel could see his so-perfectly designed and proportioned masterpiece disfigured in this way, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. I feel that it's comparable to some "bright" spark taking an A4, and chopping off everything around the smokebox, replacing it all with right-angled designs/box shapes, and proclaiming that it then looked perfect. Hmmmmmm. 75 m.p.h.?? 😉
@Shoddy127 7 ай бұрын
Hi Roger, Thanks for the kind comment. The smoke deflectors are required to assist with the crews vision for keeping a look out & signals. This was how Scotsman looked back in the days of its BR reign so it’s not completely unauthentic, even more so as it has its double chimney.
