Many thanks! I'm very glad you enjoyed it as always. Regards, Dan

Yes, the modern OLE is a bit distracting lol but unfortunately I don't have the ability to CGI it. Thank you! Regards, Dan

Ah sorry mate! I'm sure you'll get another chance at it. I'm somewhat hoping VT do another tour to Newcastle at some point. I won't be around for that one I'm afraid but I will e back after Christmas and filming away in the New Year. Merry Christmas to you! Regards, Dan

@@crunchynutsteamfilms5043 Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you aswell mate!

A 2 6 0 loco Santa u oromeise i have been a good boy merry Christmas brada

This Christmas I am very much looking forward to heading back to the Midlands to meet friends and family! Regards, Dan

I can imagine the fire gave the crew some very very welcome warmth lol! Regards, Dan

Stunning indeed! Gresley certainly pulled a masterpiece out the bag with the A4s. Regards, Dan

@crunchynutsteamfilms5043 It really did, Cheers Dan 👍

Thank you very much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Regards, Dan

That's superb, I imagine you saw lots of her then! Thank you for your memories and your service. Regards, Dan

Thank you, it certainly was! I've never heard anything like it and probably never will lol. Regards, Dan

It's not always a necessity for that reason, however diesel use is becoming increasingly common in order to heat coaches and to assist with turning moves. Regards, Dan

Certainly for those on board! And 45407 certainly looked spectacular batting away the conditions like they were nothing. Regards, Dan

Thank you very much, it certainly was! I could hear them approaching before they'd even passed Totnes! Regards, Dan

Haha not for the steam locomotive at least! I think the normal service trains were experiencing quite a bit more trouble lol which feels a bit backward 😂. Regards Dan

Cheers John, yes they do and it certainly made for an impressive shot at Newcastle! I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Regards, Dan

Yes, the set, route and loco matched perfectly on this one! The Blue and Grey I'm not a massive fan of myself although it does look quite different to a lot of tours from the last 10 years or so. Regards, Dan

@@crunchynutsteamfilms5043 The only blue that I liked was the on the original Blue Pullmans. I was lucky enough to see one near Reading when I was little. Must admit that the HST faux Pullman looks superb too.

Thank you very much, yes there's lots of old photos from Central of exactly that sort of thing, it was a very popular spot! It's great to see more young people involved in the hobby. Regards, Dan

Thank you very much! Snow is quite tough to film in. Regards, Dan

Thank you very much! A lovely locomotive indeed. Regards, Dan

Seconded!!

Haha thank you! It was very very cold lol the locomotive and her crew deserve a lot of praise. Regards, Dan

That's fantastic, hopefully it was really good! Regards, Dan

Thank you very much, quite a sight indeed! Regards, Dan

Haha I'd second that motion lol! Sadly they're often a necessity nowadays but it's even more special to see the occasional tour without them. Regards, Dan

Most certainly! Regards, Dan

I'd be very interested to see her in green! Mind you, the workshops at Crewe have done a sterling job of the blue. Regards, Dan

That sounds amazing, thank you very much for the memories! Steam has always had so much more character than the modern rubbish that populates our railway system now lol. Regards, Dan

Thank you very much! Regards, Dan

The chime whistle is a favourite of anyone who hears it lol, it's a classic! An A4 at Donny will always be a huge attraction, long may things like that continue! Regards, Dan

64 next month and worked trains into Waterloo from Bournemouth & Salisbury for 31 years. I would have loved to see Nine Elms as it was. Worked with a few Wloo drivers too from 1988 who would have been there.

@@kristinajendesen7111 Thank you for the reply. For kids it was a incredible sight to see, especially when some of the biggest locomotives came slowly down the line onto the turntable, these beautiful things, creeping slowly along, we would shout at the drivers who would wave to us if they saw us. We were a lucky bunch of kids.

@@daneelolivaw602 I saw one at Coventry station in about 1964 when my mum took me across to see it, frightened the life out of me because I was only 3 and a rebuilt and unrebuilt Bulleid pulling Up & Dn Bournemouth Belles past Meyrick Park Bournemouth in 1965. They could have been Nine Elms or Bomo locos. 24 years later I would start at Bournemouth West Depot as a guard. Wish I had seen the station though.

Thank you so much for all the memories discussed on this thread! I sadly never got to see any of these things as I'm too young lol but I'm really happy to hear of them and imagine! I'm very glad the video brought back memories for you and it's great that we still have the ability to see them even nearly a century after some of them were built! Regards, Dan

I'd say the word streak very aptly describes these locos and how lucky you were to see them in BR operation! Regards, Dan

Thank you very much, I'm delighted I could rekindle those memories for you! Regards, Dan

Thank you very much, yes they've done an absolutely brilliant job of the overhaul! Regards, Dan

Yes I think steam locomotives are generally very appreciated and enjoyed among the population! Long may it continue indeed! Regards, Dan

Thank you for commenting on it! I'm very glad that you enjoyed it. Regards, Dan

Thank you very much, she was certainly on one hell of a charge lol. Regards, Dan

Me too! Sadly I've never had the opportunity but hopefully one will arise some day. Regards, Dan

Thank you very much, I'm really glad you enjoyed all the footage! And yes, it's an unusual if outdated channel name but I quite like it 😂 I didn't know anything other than my channel was named after cereal lol! Regards, Dan

Ah cheers Andy, yes I feel I'm probably quite recognisable at times lol. I didn't know you'd been about, would have said hello if I knew lol! I'm sure I'll probably see you about for the Polars. Regards, Dan

@crunchynutsteamfilms5043 if its not the stance it's definitely the hair mate lol, the same mate it was only when I was viewing me video waiting at Preston n I was like that's Dan that is. I've been about capturing the polars each week, was at your neck of woods last Sunday mate, hopefully catch you before Xmas with the remaining ones

I was going to say something similar love it when the lean on the whistle on the A4’s as they pass the old plant works where they were built

Many thanks, I'm very glad that you enjoyed it! I'm also glad to have brought back those memories, I'm sure the train was quite an accurate representation of what used to be! I also agree on your point about young people in steam, thankfully since the pandemic more and more people seem to have taken up the hobby which is great to see. Regards, Dan

Thank you very much!! Yes, multiple tours on the same day will always be worth going out for! Regards, Dan

Thank you very much for the memories, Alne would certainly have been a good spot to see these locos back in their days of service! Regards, Dan

Thank you very much! Yes I would have loved to see the yellow stripe on the cab as well as the red shed/numberplates but I believe that was a one time thing. Maybe another LMS loco will sport them soon enough! Regards, Dan

Many thanks, I was worried it wouldn't be up to scratch with the new tripod but i'm glad you enjoyed it! Regards, Dan

Thank you very much!! Yes, a location like that for an LNER loco will always be a classic, particularly if the signallers give her a good run lol! She certainly made a very impressive show. And me neither! I imagine the North East will be hosting lots of events which I greatly look forward to! Regards, Dan

Cheers as always John, both were very busy but I half saw it coming with all the extra excitement of two steam tours within a few minutes of each other. I'm glad you appreciated the efforts, thank you! Regards, Dan

Thanks 👍!! Regards, Dan

Many thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Regards, Dan
