You cant see much because of the darkness but I thorght I'd upload this so you can see what its like operating an engine at night as its a vew not many can see. Three minutes in the Driver does swear after the engine...

love the old teaks , nice footage
Calender quality.. scenery..very beautiful..vids..👍👍
We miss..this coal engine beauty..in most parts of the world..if somebody..like George Stevenson..invent new version of this engine..it vl promote..new method for.. Tourism development..Amazing vids..👍👍
Riddles certainly sorted out the cab layout on the last locomotive designs. Bright and cheerful.
Driving a train... sipping tea. That's British.
Try firing and driving a Lord nelson Southsmpton to Waterloo when she is off the boil really hard work 1 hour and a half hard work , retired driver
Either direction out of Muncaster Mill is a climb.
What a lovely place to be stood observing. Great sound too
What gauge is this?
Great videos. But I have to ask, what are two valves by the bucket. Is that the water taps with the injectors in front of the fireman’s seat? Also, I can see a handbrake anywhere, yet when sat in the platform, the train clearly has no vacuum brakes applied, or am I missing something?
Those two valves next to the bucket are the dampers for controlling the air coming up through the bottom of the fire. The water valves for the injectors are low down in front of the fireman's seat. The handbrake is under the position where the camera is mounted on the tender. The train is held on the locos steam brake which you can see released at 26 seconds.
Who was the engineer?
Great video I’ve subscribed
“Driver wetherall” overseeing.... you sure you didn’t mean jack whitehall overseeing... aside from the weight issue... rather uncanny
Great
I have done this experience and It was awesome
Absolutely love these locomotives had the pleasure of driving and firing one of these beauty’s last week on the Great Central Railway for my 21st birthday treat!! To be precise it was (loco 73156) needless to say she was an absolute beast!! Would gladly do it all again all day everyday!!😁🚂
SORRY, I HAVE BLURRED VISION AND FEET AND LOWER LEGS LOSS. SO I CAN ONLY USE UPPER CASE. IT IS DISGUSTING THAT SUCH STANDARD LOCOS ONLY HAD 5 TO 12 YEARS AVERAGE B R LIFE, WHAT A BIG WASTE - THE USUAL STILL TODAY IN OUR INCOMPETENT USELESS UK, THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTRY IN WESTERN EUROPE. 73082 WAS NEW IN 1955 AND IT WAS IN A FAILED FORLON RUSTING CONDITION AT THE WEST END OF BASINGSTOKE STATION IN 1966. WHO SAID MIRACLES ARE NOT POSSIBLE, WELL IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT THEY ARE AND MANY OF THEM !!!!!.
Thank you very much for the 3 videos. It is as close as I can ever get to being up on the footplate.
A journey along here is a fantastic day out with plenty of climbing and sheep dodging!
Loved these three videos ... felt like I was there
Dave Oblivion thank you!
One thing i noticed when firing steam engines, especially on camera. Is that when shovelling coal, you need to know where to place the coal, and i'm just thinking, when they look into the fire, how can they see anything when it is so bright, or is it just the camera that makes it look brighter than it really is?
As a fireman for 13/14 years if you place the shovel in certain ways, you can examine the fire to see into the fire, hard explain in words.
I've seen firemen putting their shovel inside a firebox and guessing they were doing exactly what you've just said , but never understood how it worked .
A fireman uses the shovel to deflect the flames from the fire to see further into the firebox. He will be examing the shape of the fire and looking for any bright spots that may indicate the fire becoming thin and forming a hole which would be detrimental to the steaming of the locomotive.
@@nigelbrazier8585
Everything is so overdramatised.........
not really, they're doing what's nessacery in the way it needs to be done
Clearly you dont know what your talking about. Life on the footplate is often rushed and chaotic my friend, very rarely can you relax and take it easy. If you think this is crazy, try firing or driving on a mainline run bouncing about at 80mph.
NKProductions2014 have you been on the footplate on the mainline at 80MPH
@@mcbenman1793 Unlikely that he would have been, steam is genuinely restricted to 75mph unless on specials like Bittern at 90 or Tornado at 100 which are rare.
@@samhope6310 As ex BR Fireman i certainly would not want to work with this footplate crew , ie the fireman continualy adjusting the firedoors , turning on and off the injectors to often and opening and closing the dampers .! i would had thought the older Fireman could tell him what to do and when to do it !!!
Brilliant video. :) Regards Jake
Love the spirit . Typical Englishmen drinking Tea / Coffee hehe?
and not even spilling any with all of the moving around the train was doing......lol and dont know how all those pots and cups were able to stay where they were also withy all of the moving around the train did
XD
WHAT ABOUT EGG AND BACO ON A SHOVEL THEN !!!!
SORRY, BACON, I HAVE DOUBLE BLURRED VISION AND HAVE LOST BOTH LOWER LEGS.
This is brilliantly done! Did you record this on a GoPro? I am strongly tempted to participate in the Bluebell Railway's Driving Experience days at some point in the near to mid-future. Is there any advice you can offer an amateur like myself? I have yet to have the chance to handle the controls of a full-sized loco in steam.
The best advice anyone could give you is this: On a steam locomotive, everything is hotter, dirtier, slower and heavier than you expect. _Everything._ You'll soon find out what not to touch to avoid being burnt; you'll go home caked in soot and thick, black grime; you'll've marvelled at the amount of time it takes to prepare the loco in the morning and put it to bed again in the evening; you'll ask for the fireman's help to lift something which he manages with one hand - and, without a shadow of a doubt, you will have had one of the most exciting and enjoyable days of your life. One last thing: anything powered by steam is inherently dangerous. If someone tells you to do something, you _do_ it, immediately! I hope you have a great time. :-)
Thank you for the advice. I know it is the patience and labour that one puts into preparing these things that pays off more rewardingly than any other machine.
Good video! Love the sound of the standard 5! You can tell the trainee fireman is a little over cautious with checking the pressure gauge every 5 mins. This is good as he is really keeping a keen eye on things!
Good filming! A different angle which makes a change. The evening light shows the fire well!
Great people.
Very nice ...day and night ...Dave
J'adore les chaussures cirées du conducteur du train...
Overmanning or what! No wonder the steam engine was doomed. Dr Beeching was right after all!
Richard Helliwell The engine requires a two man crew which is a driver and a fireman, on a heritage like you normally have a 3 man crew driver fireman and trainee. In this video you see the fireman driving the trainee firing and the driver supervising. The forth person in the grey top is a footplate passanger who is there for a ride on the engine and is not apart of the crew
I believe there was a touch of sarcasm in my comment. I'm aware they do need a 3 man crew. Nowadays it would be unthinkable to have even a secondman in a train's cab. They did away with that in the 1980's.
Richard Helliwell o
What a stupid comment! A more sensible comment would be to congratulate the Bluebell for making sure that young people like these get trained to drive & fire these machines so that steam has a future. You do know that these are volunteers doing this work for the sheer love of it?
So what?
Wonderful to see a young but well drilled loco crew!
Joel Whitaker thank you!

Some great Loco`s running there ..very atmospheric with the fog
Great to see these arcane skills being passed onto the youngsters!
At Severn Valley they still teach you :)
The busiest crew is stoker :)
Really love the whistle :)
