  Reminded me, too, of very happy times on the TR. The most 'rural' parts of the line seem to retain every bit of the character and atmosphere from the 70s and 80s

  Thank you Andy. The West Highland Extension is THE very best place to appreciate main line steam! Away from the crowds, and on the climb to Beasdale summit is a location that will transport you back to the sixties steam you remember!

  Very envious! An A4 near the end of the platform at Kings Cross is always an iconic moment - stationary under the roof brings back memories of A4s there in the early 60s - despite the catenary and everything of the modern railway....

  Not one of my best (rain and focusing issues got in the way earlier in the day) - but the final scene is always a priceless one for me and takes me back to the 'glorious years' of everyday steam in the late 50s and early sixties - when a silent evening in the middle of nowhere could be broken by the laborious plod of a barking monster!

  @davebenjamin53804 ай бұрын

  Very pleased to hear. It's well below my usual video standards but I uploaded it mainly because of the last sequence at Woodwalton. It's a great location to remember the real days of steam - no onlookers, a black night, and the ever-increasing (and then disappearing) sound of a steam locomotive dominating the eerily quiet landscape!

  Encouraging to hear! My priorities are always sound over visuals - and after dark can have great advantages, particularly as the wind often drops and there's less traffic and people around to 'get in the way'!

  Thank you Matt. One of those rare days when everything went well. Lucky with the panning - less vegetation in winter. Grassthorpe crossing is about two miles from the water stop at Carlton loop - location chosen to capture the sound as 44871 accelerated up the 1/200. Skylarks singing, no wind, sunshine, great sounds from 44871 (as usual) and the diesel keeping a low profile. A very enjoyable day.

  Agree with the b/w comment. Helps to appreciate the steam and smoke. Perhaps the close-by residents might disagree!!

• 
  @davebenjamin53805 ай бұрын

  The smoke is not really a problem for the residents - the main place for smoke is around Loughborough station at around departure times - and there's very little housing in 'direct line of fire'. But an annoyance for residents is car parking outside their houses on gala days....

• 
  @lindagarratt18325 ай бұрын

  Thank you Mr Jones. Seeing it in b&w constantly reminds me of the GC in the mid 1960s when 8Fs, 9Fs were the mainstay(along with Black 5s). My video is different to most of the others - I reckon it has added atmosphere! However, nothing can compete with those who managed to secure 'closer to the line' locations with some superb footage. But no-one else used a bike and a milk crate!
