I agree with you there mate, they do 👍🏻

The weather (and the drone) made for a scenic feast...and there's that lucky timing again with the photo bombers!

Very lucky! Hopefully the weather keeps improving so we can get the drone up more, have a steamer for the first time in a long time tomorrow so praying it stays nice for that 🤞

Thank you for the shout out, we’ve just subscribed so 5001! We have a very happy Theo 😊

Aw thanks guys, glad to hear he’s enjoying the vids. It’s a great cheap harmless hobby to grow up with lol.

Loved the arty 'blue sky and passing wagons' shot Luke....!! 🤣Another great episode with a cracking variety of workings - the DRAX 60's will be missed though. Glad you're adventerous enough to go out in the middle of the night, as the after dark clips are wonderfully atmospheric!

Very different mate, I’m glad they at least kept the old clock tower. Great to be able to use the drone to really show off the landscape.

Thanks mate! Yeah super lucky, hate it when you hear something coming up behind you as soon as what you’re filming comes into view.

One of the trains u were filming ur camera tilted I saw a a train will oil wagons ur camera went upside down, I missed seeing that before the end. I’m a train fanatic.on Friday I saw the Nigel grestley at Newcastle on April 5th at 250in the afternoon. I live in the cramlington. In the 1980s I used to live in Oldham near Clegg street railway shed . Those were good days for the railways. When I have seen trains at Diggle on the camera it’s always quite. During the day, I would like to see Diggle station open and new line’s open at the back were they have fence over at the back of Diggle .

Another good video Luke, with all the Hope Valley diverts it would make logical sense to reinstate the curve at Guide Bridge towards Hyde. I would imagine that trains for Peak Forest are running via Stockport and Hazel Grove.
