That's a excellent piece of footage, the whole lot that is. Any young person wanting to film any train's, they should watch this and learn. The person always had the locomotive in view and followed it very steadily. Thank you from Newcastle NSW Australia for sharing this with us.
Hi and thank you for your kind comment. I am sure that you had a great adventure as these tours tend to be. Always nice to hear from passengers. Best regards, Alan
@@Doug-y2v Hi and thank you for your kind and much appreciated comment. It’s tight but you can just make it there in time from Marsh Barton. Best regards,Alan
I was on board. On the way back we were held at Taunton. Every thing was due to a broken rail. Due to water the 47 was put on the front and we eventually were allowed to go and made it back to Bristol, but without any lighting or electric! I want to commend all the stewards who constantly kept us all updated with information and held all our spirits up despite the impending gloom, an excellent job guys and girls. Very well done all, from coach D. There has to be a down side and when we got back we had a call from the police that some scumbag has smashed the windows in the car. That's Bristol!
Hi and thank you so much for getting in touch and sharing your experience of the opposite scales of human nature. All travel is an adventure and hopefully the experience with the car will soon become inconsequential. Kind regards, Alan
Ten out of ten once again for effort Alan, in bringing this to the table. Sorry to hear you had 'pothole' issues to contend with as if 'holiday traffic' wasn't enough? A thought crossed my mind watching todays video with 'Intercity' stock on show, is the presumably ever reduction of 'certified' suitable rolling stock availability? Have a great week. atvb t ..
RTC are struggling to fill the standard class seats on their steam tours frequented mainly by enthusiasts, because we don't want to travel in a sealed coach, with no sound, smell or atmosphere. What's the point. Not their fault, but WCR
Very good, Alan. Great sites, great loco, and some good shots - Thankyou. Liked the dimpsy over Dartmoor - atmospheric. So, now I'm going to have to learn all about Stanier class locos... mustn't grumble, eh.
That's good, the green has left the building and we're Amy Winehouse!!!! Superb as usual Alan, you can't beat down yonder topped off with a 5 and her glorious hooter. Many thanks as usual, all the best👍👍👍👍
Or ACDC? Glad to have hit the right the right buttons here Bob. It was "black as a bag" as we say down here until just before the train appeared down the Reign, so that was a lucky shot of the moors in the background and light on the river. Best wishes, Alan
@@Steamclips Damn these little grey cells, missed that one, (but it was the '80's🤔🙄!!) definitely more my genre, can't stand the Whitehouse!!!! Any reminder of my adopted county is appreciated especially laced with steam . . . and an LMS hooter!!! Take care out there👍👍👍
Good morning. The quality of your footage is really impressive. I was wondering what camera you use as i am looking to change my panasonic fz1000 for something with more reliable auto focus. Many thanks.
Hi and thank you for your kind and very much appreciated comment. My main camera is a Panasonic HC-X1E and my second or remote camera is a Panasonic HC-VX980EB-K. Try doing without auto focus, I hardly ever use it on the main camera. Set your focus to infinity at maximum zoom before you begin filming, then as you zoom out during your shot your depth of field increases which brings nearer features into focus. Only use auto focus when light levels are very low. Good luck with your next shot. Best regards, Alan
@@oldwulf60 I feel your pain! Dainton is a very restricted climb to film southbound these days. Hopefully there be a big line clearance in the not too distant future. Regards, Alan
To me, the Black 5 is a "he". Black 5 Bobby Doo, where are you? You've got some work to do now. Black 5 Bobby Doo, where are you? We need some help from you now. Come on, Bobby Doo, we see you, pretending to flake and flipper, You're not fooling me, as we can see the way you quake and quiver. Is there something that you lack? Don't hold back, Bobby Doo if you come through, you'll bag yourself a box of Black 5 Snax, that's a fact. We can count on you, Bobby Doo, we hear you happily puffing, And for joy you're chuffing.
That's a new one on me Kelly. All large machines are traditionally referred to in the feminine e.g. "God bless her and all who sail in her" when launching a ship. Probably because large machines historically have men at their beck and call !!
Excellent video Alan. Superbly captured especially over the Tamar bridge and along the Teign estuary. Enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A
Much appreciated folks, thank you for your kind feedback. Best regards, Alan
Thank you for this clip. This is the first time that I, as a YT viewer, have finally heard the beat of a "5". Now I understand...

Very kind of you John, your comments are much appreciated. Best regards, Alan
What an amazing panning shot at the end!

Loved the shot at 3:30 Marley Head, with all the thistle seeds in the air.

You are welcome Terry. Yes, I had to have a full alignment check/adjust and wheel balance all wheels but everything seems o.k. now. Best regards, Alan

@@pwblackmore Hi Peter it was as black as a bag less than a couple of minutes before that shot so I was really lucky. Best regards, Alan

@@Steamclips I've got sausage fingers syndrome as well😂😂😂😂😂
How did the coaches change livery? Started off Blue /Grey mk2s. Then 2:50 they’re all Maroon. Then back to Blue /Grey again.
Great shots.
Hi and thank you for your kind comment. The answer to your question is in the description. Best regards, Alan
I believe that tour got stuck behind the local and express trains leaving the Taunton area
That's right Scott. Alan

I went to film it southbound at Stoneycombe but discovered all the bushes have grown and you don’t get the clear views you once had.
