Welcome to My channel, although it will predominantly feature Railways, Preserved,Modern or Model (or otherwise!), it will also feature anything else I choose to do & think might be of interest to others. Just watch what you want & ignore the rest but thanks for visiting all the same!
Eight years on in 2017 I would like to thank all those who have subscribed to my channel and have hopefully seen some improvement in the video's that I enjoy creating, editing & sharing. Your positive comments & feedback make it worthwhile..... many thanks, Brian.

Ever considered panning ?
Have you..... Oh no, because you don't produce anything and have FOUR subscribers!!

Superb stuff as always brian! Was a good one to chase today wasn’t it😊
Fantastic work as usual Brian, great to see so many shots in there! You did well to get across from Barnt Green to Lapworth so fast. We'll definitely have to have a catch up with a cuppa on one of the next few Shakeys. Regards, Dan
Thanks a lot Dan, a car helps and I still had to wait 35 minutes Lol. Yes we will mate but you need to check your messages😂. Hope you enjoyed the 'extra time' at your 'Footy Party'...... Regards, Brian.
Wow Brian you have had a busy Sunday!! Having had a 20 hour day on Saturday we decided to just go to the Lickey which relatively speaking was quiet. Anyhow back to your video which contained interesting and nicely captured clips. Regards, John
Just 8 hours & 85 miles so short compared to your Saturday John. I've watched both and yes, I don't blame you taking a break. Barnt Green was busy with mostly locals, Lapworth was unusually quiet and I was alone at the final three, well apart from my Bovine friends Lol. Many thanks & regards, Brian.
Looks like you had a busy day Brian, but worthwhile. Some great shots there. Cheers, Rob
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you ! BUT! - WARNING TO ALL (!)

Great video, a enjoyable watch Brian, its a line I should do more often but I will leave it to you to cover, 6G65 was 66619
Appreciated thanks Mike. Feel free to stay local .... for a change Lol. I've been made aware of the loco Mike but I only put down what I see... assuming I remember 😂. Cheers, Brian.
Nicely filmed Brian! Hoping your all good mate :) Have to catch up soon
Cheers Liam, I'm good thanks but have to leave the 'chases' to you lads these days. Yes, maybe catch up if you're over for a Shakey' sometime.
Cracking stuff as usual Brian. 6G65 was 66619. Was good to get ex euroshed 66073 on the royal ecs with 67005. I only require ex euroshed 66224 & 66230 which is fire damaged for digital photos..
Thanks Paul, I should ask you before I edit lol. I forgot to note it and even a magnifying glass didnt help. I'm not as into the numbers though mate, I just accept what turns up. I do wish they would all paint them on the side like GBrf 😊. Was lucky to get a glimpse of the 67 knowing what was approaching Lol.
Looks like a great location 😊. Nice video Brian 😊
One of many John, thanks a lot.
Hi Brian, great stuff as usual. It was 70015 on 6G65 👍🏻
Many thanks Paul, had to wait a while as it looked like it was going to pass early then got held at Knighton hence the 'extras' lol. I'd have made more effort had it been '70015 Apollo' the Brit 😂. Hope you're well and recovered from your holiday.
@@SYKAROST yes fine thanks Brian, need another one 😂
Brian, Impressive seeing two Westerns on the mainline. Regards, John
Hmmm, yes in name only though John, think I'd have preferred the real one on the front. Regards, Brian.
I personally find it interesting seeing a British locomotive with an American Nathan K5 horn on it.
Caught me by surprise too Lol. I assumed it was of US origin but accept your expertise on the type...... sound nice though!!
Brian, Nicely captured and we were not too far apart at Hamstead. Regards, John
Thanks John, I half expected to see you at Hamstead having done TBP last week but then assumed you were further afield. Regards,Brian.
@@SYKAROST With a speed restriction through the platform I figured it would accelerate to the bridge where I was. The problem I faced was with the sun shining directly at me. The rest of the day went well. Regards, John
I helped build a OO gauge railway in that same room once 😊
Great video Brian 😊
Thanks John, I've watched a few of yours but you disable comments as you mentioned. I caught the Test Train this afternoon too.👍
@SYKAROST thanks for watching Brian. That test train has been about this week. I saw it twice at Tamworth on Wednesday
Has to be the world’s best train set.
Indeed, just needs a big enough 'garden' and we could all have one 😁.
Thank you for the video. Can you contact me please via Fawley - Steve
Have sent email to the site requesting them to pass mine too you Steve. I'm guessing I probably described the railway wrong lol. Regards, Brian.
Great video Brian; we’re pleased you enjoyed your afternoon at Fawley, looking at the VW cars, the museum, ‘Hambledon’ and travelling behind the 03 diesel. As you know, you can keep up with what’s happening via our website -to which you link- where you will find celebratory posts when our steam loco, No.31, comes back from its overhaul.
Hi Martyn, I'm glad you enjoyed my efforts to further showcase your beautiful location and railway. A very enjoyable treat for me and it was good to meet & chat with you and some of the team. I will now follow your progress and hopefully will return to see steam on the Hill 😊. Kind regards, Brian.
Nice. My model railway world has welcomed something smaller: an oval of N Gauge track, complete with an analogue track controller.
That looks like it was a great day Brian. I've seen it featured a few times on TV but your video gave a far better view of how everything fits together. Cheers, Rob
Certainly different Rob. I didn't know it existed until a week ago but a shame it wasn't steam up that hill, glad you enjoyed it... cheers, Brian.
I was there! Great video Brian. I was pleased to meet you the other day 😊
Haha, so you were Lol.Glad you enjoyed my efforts and likewise.... Take care.
Excellent crossover, and even better the sheds were consecutively numbered
Certainly was John and it was the number coincidence that made my day lol. Good to meet you yesterday and I'll be checking out your video. All the best,Brian.
@SYKAROST many thanks Brian. I Hope you're enjoying your break away 😎. Hopefully we can meet up soon 😊
@@johnUB4478 Cheers mate, yes all good thanks. I've watched your video but am unable to comment. Think I'll have to learn my DMU's 😂.
@@SYKAROST DMUs are easy enough to learn, and EMUs
IM THERE NO WAY
Perfect Brian. Regards Mike.
Thanks Mike, I was well impressed too. I think your 'Red Shed' subscriber would enjoy it too lol. Regards, Brian.
A busy day Brian! Particularly liked the evening shots of Clun passing Tyseley. Very atmospheric. Cheers, Rob
Well an early start & late finish yes Rob. Was planning to go further north for the return but that was a bit problematic. I just got away with it at Tyseley thankfully! Cheers, Brian.
Brian, Nicely captured and Tyseley worked out well and easier to get home I assume. Until the next time. Regards, John
Thanks John and yes, anywhere else wasn't worth the time so took the easy option. Decided to do the Belle separately. Shame I couldn't get the return but just couldn't be in 2 places at once!! Regards, Brian.
Brian, Perfectly timed I'd say and consecutive numbers as well. Regards, John
Yes, quite a catch which rather surprised me. Wasn't a 'Red Letter' but more a red 66 day!! Regards, Brian.
A stunning video Brian, with perfect timing to catch both services, right place at the right time....Regards....Bob
Yes Bob, couldn't have planned that shot if I'd tried and certainly not with two sequential numbers ..... I doubt it will be repeated!!😂 best wishes, Brian.
What an amazing Liner that is Brian, great footage, and that last vessel dropping its doors at the end looked a little alarming to me....All the best....Bob
Certainly is impressive Bob and first to run on LNG (Liquified Natural Gas). The Gozo ferry rear door is not an issue while still within the harbour breakwater Bob. Not quite the potential Zebrugge disaster in 87 thankfully 😢. Best Wishes, Brian.
Wow, what an incredible set of captures at Water Orton Brian...Great visuals and sounds....Best wishes...Bob
Cheers Bob, they are pretty common but always worth a shot..... when they open up lol. Regards, Brian.
I’ve actually started working there about 2 years ago and man This railway has changed a ton over the years
Oh yes it really has. I used to volunteer there myself and have done a number of videos since this one that shows the changes. Always come to the Standard Gauge weekend in July.
Not been to this railway but I have passed it while driving, but I have seen videos in the past Brian. Its great to see a class 31 but I do not like that livery, cheers for the upload regards Mike.
I decided I needed a visit and quite enjoyed myself. Yes, I agree that blue is a bit too bright but still sounded nice..... and yes, worked on a few myself 😉. Regards, Brian.
Well that was awesome. Really awesome meeting ya 😊
Much appreciated thanks..... no one has ever said meeting me was 'awesome' before but I can take it 😁.
What an amazing sight she makes Brian, Tyseley certainly know how to look after their locos...Best wishes...Bob
As a Midland man I never thought I'd agree Bob but yes on both counts. And again, I'm fortunate to be involved and have them local.... You need them to pay a visit your way.😁. Regards,Brian.
A wonderful location choice Brian, although only a shadow of it's former self, still a great place to see such a variety of workings....Best wishes....Bob
It is Bob, never stayed put there before but you can catch almost everything. You're right, it's hard to believe how the whole layout used to be with a very busy exchange yard too. Regards,Brian.
Another great selection Brian, the 66's are not my favourite loco, but they are efficient and clean locos, even when working hard...Regards....Bob
We seem to have mainly electric powered commuter trains, your trains are much more varied.
Excellent footage Brian. Must be one of the busiest places for freight in the UK
Thanks Paul, it certainly appears that way at times being a major crossroads on the network.... Just have to pick the times & days !! Cheers, Brian.
Daventry to Doncaster was a interesting one Brian. ATB Mike.
Yes Mike, was an unusual one rather than via Bescot. Brian.
Nice one, I like it there
Yes Kev, I know you get up here on your travels 😊. I'm lucky it's only 10 mins away. Cheers, Brian.
Wonderful location choices Brian, and another excellent video full of interest...Regards....Bob
Yes, very fortunate Bob. Just have to have the traffic & the weather. Had another good session today which I hope you also enjoy. Many thanks Bob, regards, Brian.
Excellent footage of an excellent event. Especially appreciated the night time shots. Well done.
Many thanks & glad you enjoyed it. I do like the challenge of dusk/night shots and sometimes it works out.😊
Another great video, Brian. Thank you.
Thanks Paul, short but sweet lol.
Good to see you getting out Brian, regards Mike.
Standing in for you at the moment Mike 🤭.
Brian, Nicely captured as usual. Reflecting on the Camp Hill location I recall back in the early 80s taking a photograph of Clan Line from the bridge you were standing on with not a tree in sight. Regards, John
Thanks John, yes and I remember it from the 60's when we even burnt all the grass too lol. The new railings are a bit of a challenge and the filth & litter disgusting which is why I guessed I'd be on my own.😆 Regards, Brian.
Great stuff Brian......66747 & 66718 on the 0E23. One off liveries on those two locos rgds Paul
Cheers Paul, I should have asked you before editing lol. I wondered why my eyes were too blurred to see the lead loco's number then realised I'd got my reading glasses on!!!😂
Hi Brian Good shots did you keep dry Regards Chris
Cheers Chris, yes it was fine & managed to dodge the weather today too. Regards, Brian.
Lovely shot Brian. Been a while since I saw The Brit
Me too Luke so was well worth the trip 👍.
