Hello, I am a channel pretty much only about railways, whether it be steam, diesel or electric. Mostly based in the South East, there are also videos from around the country as well (of course dependent on any trips I make for them).
Hope you enjoy my content :)

Great shot! I was also at Swindon.
Beatiuful video, greetings 👍🚂
Sweet. Lovely sight.
Saw it at Taunton, great engine, got some nice recordings of it on my channel too. Great video, keep up the export.
Effort*
I wish I saw it, it literally went through my local station, and I only checked if it was coming through 20 mins later
I got the 50th in Bath. Put up a great show in the west country.
I was on Platform 2! Thank god that 700 got out of the way in time.
Strange headcode, the only time I've ever seen that was on 34051 Winston Churchill, hauling Sir Winston Churchill's funeral train, when it left Waterloo in January 1965. That was in honour of his famous V for Victory sign during WW2.
From what I heard in this situation it was more of an in joke, this disc code really meaning 'Breakdown Train'!
The headcode is actually for a breakdown train *SW Division (I think) but very fittingly used for the Winston Churchill funeral train of 1965...as well as the victorious return of 35028,
Have you seen [TheSoutherner] video? Same locations, same time.
I have, excellent video.
Some good shots
Thanks very much

A FARCICAL CON !!! You pay a lot of money for a supposed "Steam train ride" only to find they have added a DIESEL loco to the train, which quite clearly is doing a good 50% OF THE WORK as you can hear the diesel roaring past the camera!!! So just when life gets interesting going up hills like Shap with a steam loco, where the engine would have to work hard and give out a thunderous continuous roar, with huge smoke effects. The Diesel provides most of the power. So the steam loco has to do little work, and can almost saunter up the Hill. Without the normal grand smoke & sounds effects, you would have seen on this gradient in steam days. It also means that professional train timers cannot time the train & work out how much power the steam loco is exerting, or exact speeds over any quarter mile section. Indeed putting a heavy vehicle on the rear of a train (unless banking on gradients) was forbidden in BR days, because its DANGEROUS. So I certainly would never waste my money on such a Farcical CON. Much better in Germany were steam excursions don't have Diesels attached, and as seen on a number of occasions have reached speeds approaching a 100mph. Indeed the 02.0201 Pacific has reached 106mph in preservation (it has achieved speeds as high as 113.3mph in East German Railways service in the 1960's) It also has the largest driving wheels fitted to ANY Pacific of 7ft 6in. NOTE: I began Driving steam back in the 1970's before becoming a Qualified Locomotive Mechanical Engineer, & I've worked for many Railways around the World.
I still wish the shoe of this train can touch the conductor rail to allow the motor of this old train roar it’s nostalgia
Beatiuful video, greetings 🚂👋🔝
Cracking video matey, cant' beat Oxenholme for a good shot!
Love how the 2 locomotives are the same class. Wonderful catch! 👍
Great catch!
Great shot! I saw them today at Beckenham Junction.
It returns to the mainline doing what? Picking up parcels or pessangers. If picking up pessangers, surely it would be for tours.
It was for a one off special run into Waterloo. No passengers, and it was dragged.
Nice video of the class 20s.
Can anyone tell me if this is running all week ?
Last runs on Thursday
excellent catch 👍saw it at paddock Wood
Beatiuful video! Greetings from Asturias 🚂🔝🔝🔝👍🙋♂️
Why isn’t it running under its own power?
currently lacks the modern cab radios, On Train Monitoring Recorders and Central door locking required in order for it to run on its own
also it would be so good if this unit could be run under its own power and not coupled to a ED. the unit of course was liveried as introduced in 67/8 but the window aluminium surrounds are way to bright and if only they could make the cab ends all yellow as this would then be how this all this looked unit back in the day. it still looks really lovely though!!
well once its been fitted with all the necessary modern equipment it will run under its own power again also originally the yellow warning panel when first introduced only covered the lower half of the gangway door, regardless its preserved in an refurbed/as withdrawn configuration and so its current livery is perfectly correct for it
yeah when they had been in their connex and SWT liveries, they did look quite scruffy. when they first came out and had that all over br blue and then the blue grey and then the NSE, they looked so much better and neat too. it’s just that ruddy head light that was cut into the gangway door which all the slam door rolling stock and locos of the same era had done back in around 1990/91 which unfortunately was a safety standards requirement. such an eye sore
Top stuff
Awesome
These trains never looked this good when I had to commute on them in the distant past!
