Love seeing them at speed. Much nicer to see them out doing what they were designed to do rather then stuck in a museum.
+mark pritchard The best way to preserve any machine is to maintain & use it as designed.
+trespire Does this include a shapely bird?
Tom Burcher
If the shapely bird is autonomously articulated & self powered, then absolutely.
mark pritchard being museumed is still better than meeting the cutter's torch
Defiantly agree there. I wouldn't like to see any steam loco get cut up. But there a lot more fun when you can here them with the smell the hot oil and smoke.
Knowing how much one of those side rods weighs, and seeing it get slung around that fast is a terrifying thought!!!
0_0 Indeed.
I didn't know you were a Train Buff, Fluttershy.
flying in a jumbo jet that weigh 300 tons and more is even more terrifying
My thoughts too. They must have been made of the finest forged steel.
@@topbanana8438Nah trains are more terrifying because you feel the wind when they fly by
They still have that sense of pride like they’re saying, “IM COMING THROUGH, OUT OF MY WAY!”
This is one of the reasons I want to visit the UK so badly. Looks as if steam trains aren’t nearly as rare of a sight over there than they are here in the US. The shots of them blasting across the countryside, without a diesel helper engine, make me smile.
The desail helper engine is to power the coaches. Not to help the train
@@ZazzelTheGamerPretty sure the diesel at the back is to run the train in the opposite direction out of stations with no run-around track
And the coaches are probably steam-heated as they are Mark 1 coaches , but I may be wrong
@@TheRedFloofball_Foxyi think he was talking about usa trains having diesel helpers
Wouldn’t count ya luck on it
Splendid. So skillfully executed. I had no idea there was this much steam still in operation in the UK.
There's about 200 operational steam locomotives in the UK today
Holy crap avweb is on train TH-cam!
Pretty much the only place steam engines are still used regularly.
Well steam locos are only used on railtours now-a-days
long, LOOOOONG, may it be so!
A big thanks to the people that have restored and keep running these magnificent locos running! without them they would only be history.
Who maintains these great steam trains ? ♥️ 🤔 😎
@@michaelserby7697 Most of the time it is independent associations with a desire to keep them running. They also run museums in conjunction with their heritage railways, which are often closed down lines who are no longer in use.
I'm french and I have known steam machines when I was young boy.
We lived in suburb of Paris and sometimes,for her shop, my Grand Mother bring me to Paris to buy merchandises .We arrived at the great station named St Lazare.There were many steam machines but also all these of the electrified railroad network.It was in the mid sixties and juste before the seventies.
In that moment when I write these lines ,I'm also reading a book writen by Clive Lamming ,a notorious specialist of the topic.Title is : British trains and railroad networks from tradition to modernity (1901-2000)!!!!Published in french by Atlas editions several years before.
So I want to congratulate the author of this video such his work is perfect.Pictures,variety of steam machines,only the sound of these beautiful trains in stations ,counties , night and day.
It is merely extraordinary to see the same machines I discover in my book ,but this time in live .
From dream generates by pictures to reality nowadays!!!
And we have also all the descriptions of the trains , names and types of machines.Very very respectable work.
A great documentary on the British legends of the era of steam machines : Mallard,Bulleid,Flying Scotsman ,City of Truro and so much etc etc...
For me these machines have a soul.At a moment we can see a steam machine and after, a recent train issue of modern technology.In the first case soul of man is speaking to us, in the second case, as modern cars :zero interest ,robotic work , no name ,no dream , no magical feeling.
As for us with the TGV : a train to bring people from "A" point to "X" point, but not to travel ,to visit country , to spend our time to take time....
A triple hurrah to the British engineers who conceived these extraordinaries machines :
William Dean for his "City of Truro" the first to reach the barrier of 100mph,
George Jackson Churchward young engeineer implicated in Great Western Railway realisations,
Nigel Gresley for his K, A1, A4,
Herbert William Garratt who saved the Beyer-Peacock Company,
Chief mechanical engineer C.B.Collett,
William Stanier
And so and so .
Thank you so much to give the possibility to see these historical legends of the British railway steam machines!!
14:30 is a really nice one, seeing the smoke and a silhouette in the distant fog, and then you see the steam engine rush by. I love it.
45 minutes of pure pleasure and impressed by locations where filmed. Only downside, two grandsons on my knees shouting with excitement, but to see their little faces shining with excitement is something else. I believe you have just won another 3 fans for you website. Many thanks
They may not be as powerful as diesels or electrics but jesus they are beautiful !!!
Actually, if you do the math on a higher power locomotive like this one, it is as powerful as the current fleet of diesels. Keep in mind, that trains that were pulled to very high speeds by one Steam locomotive, are now pulled by many diesels. I saw somewhere that this steam locomotive is somewhere around 10K horsepower. The big boys in the US UP fleet were also very high horsepower, and they were used in the early diesel days to help the trains to get over big passes where the diesels were just not powerful enough.
They are capable of as much power as many modern diesels, but they require more maintenance, and are prone to slipping.
3RTracing actually modern trains are more powerful, the most powerful steam train has around 6000bho and that's big boy, modern electrics can have way over 10,000bhp and like 300,000 traction effort or something crazy like that
The most modern little electric engines go 250 kph through the alps (new Swiss base tunnels)
heelfan1234 As i suspected just a pathetic troll looking for some attention
In technical world, nothing is more beautiful than a running railway steam locomotive. The performance of the running gear is really a wonderful sight.

Gordon was by far my favorite.
My favorite is the flying scotsman
It sounds like you are a Thomas The Tank Engine fan
@@jamesleopard8518 Correct. A good reason too, because George Carlin, who is one of my favorite comedians, was the narrator for the series that I found out later. Plus, I'mma steam engine fan.
Everything looks so cozy and Englandy.

Makes me want to move there

+Andrew Chaston um... here in Canada we have the most and the cleanest water in the world so...
My 2 year old has just watched this with the biggest grin on his face. Thanks for the huge upload 😁
That would of always put the largest grin when he’s older :)
steam trains where probably the biggest invention in travel history in my opinion
I agree with your opinion 100%
@@keshavleitan7800 i saw it, thanks
This was the Golden Age of train travel. The tracks were well maintained , and steam engines were hella fast .
It's not only that you are a great photographer: you clearly are a very generous person who lends us your time and your eyes to get the perfect angle so that WE can enjoy the perfect images. You have captured fleeting moments in England and I've been living through them this Sunday afternoon in Brasília, Brazil, and feeling overwhelmed by joy and gratitude. All the best!!!!!!
Fantastic coverage
14:28ff is one of the loveliest train shots I've ever seen. Great videography!
+Rob Crawford
Yes, it's so mesmerizing. I like the one right after it, too.
Rob Crawford just lovely
Rob Crawford I agree Rod stunning
Yup!
True
The speed at which those bars are moving on the wheels is unreal. Solid steel weighing a lot moving so fast it makes you feel like it defies the laws of physics or is going to time travel.
Thanks, many memories for a 70 year old.
This brings back memories.
My grandad was manager of LNER and I stood on a few plates when I was young. It faded out for a bit and I lost contact with the UK as I lived in Germany then China over 10 years. When I came back I was stunned at the steam revival!
Good on you all the enthusiasts. Keep them going. Its not history, as history is something that gone. Steam is not gone, just had a little nap, now she's back!
As a kid, I used to trainspot at Waterloo station. I can still visualise these beasts lined up at the platforms, breathing heavily. Magic.
I love it when they're running clean. The staged glamour shots with massive clouds of steam and soot pouring out of the locomotive are eyecandy, sure, but when it's running clean it feels like a living, breathing animal, a piece of history in the present. And you can't beat that.
Put this on for my 2 year old son so I could get on with my work...half an hour later I'm still glued to the screen (as is he!)
I'm American and I can see Great Britain has some really gorgeous steam engines. I see the "side pipes" of engines are all
enclosed. I like the colors of the engines, too. That was a great shot of a Mallard.
After nationalisation in 1948 some British Railways locomotives had exposed pipework in the American style for reasons of efficiency, but they were the exception. There were even some US locos running on British tracks, mainly shunters (switchers) left over after the war.
さすがイギリス🇬🇧鉄道の発祥地蒸気機関車素晴らしい。今も元気で走れる機関車を何両も保有しておられ感動しました。
This is one of the things I love most about steam engines; they've all got their own personalities. The sound of their wheels and pistons whirring along the rails, their whistles, you'd have to look hard to try and find two engines that sound so similar, and even then, there's bound to be a few small differences. We should seriously bring steam back into regular service around the world. Bring back the railroads!
What a beautiful edited video.
You captured the essence of this piece of engineering history perfectly,well done 👍
The sounds of this beauties coming towards you at great speed and the plumes of smoke coming from the funnel, a sight to behold. Breathing in the smell the burning coal in the smoke, as they whistle by.
I understand we must move forward, but that era was so exciting to see and hear.
I cannot deny that there was a lump in my throat and tear in my eyes seeing them stretching their legs again.
Thank you so much everybody for your time and effort to relive those halcyon days.
Steam trains and some beautiful English countryside. A nice combination.
Haven't seen anyone capture the countryside like this is any movie or video on the internet before. It really is like I imagined.
s0nnyburnett same
I always think it was kind of the loco makers that they put a lovely coal fire in the cab just to keep the drivers warm and to cook their meals, or am I missing something? Ha Ha!
They go Howling thru the countryside, enough to scare a Wolf!
Thank you - for the countless track-side hours, the gallons of gas (petrol), the inclement weather - the hot, the cold, the wet. And then countless more hours editing. Thank you. From my point of view, it was all thoroughly worth it. Cheers!
There's just something with steam engines when they come past at speed. I don't know if it's their much louder noise level compared to diesels or their whistles when they're used but something about a steam engine coming down the line at you, whistle blazing, just gives off that "I'm fast and powerful so get the fuck out of my way or you'll get splattered" feeling. Don't get me wrong, I love diesels. They got that "workhorse" feel to them (maybe that's just because the only trains I've seen in person are freight trains pulled by diesels) but nothing will top a steamer.
A wonderful collection of steam at its best. Much appreciated.
"I thank heaven for the thrill of the steam that remains,
Once a boy - now a man, but still waving at trains".
Thank you so much. This film has everything! - drama, romance, beauty, nostalgia, not quite everything - the smell! But no worries, my 75 year old brain can still recapture the acrid fumes up my nose from when I was a kid. I've got goosebumps I didn't know I had! Best regards.
PS: if you make a DVD call it 'Locomotive Porn' you'll sell a million!
Hope you're doing well
I wish I lived back in the era in which steam locomotives pounding up and down the main line was an everyday sight
I am of that generation (born 1942). You actually got used to steam trains so that if the engine was commonplace (e.g. a Black 5) it all became a bit boring, believe it or not. Knowing what the real thing was like has given me a subversive attitude towards engine cleanliness. All very well express engines looking shiny and spruce but when you see a routine mixed-traffic loco (a Hall, say) done up to the nines it just looks unreal. Halls should be at least grubby otherwise they look like brickies at a wedding. Apologies to all brickies, skilled people.
Daniel Smith they still do I heard that a new p2 is built
Agreed!
I wish I was born at that time too😢
Me I love but I was born in 2009 and only saw Thomas the tank engine and then saw a tank engine in real never seen flying Scotsman or tornado but been to NRM
Theses trains have a soul, in the US some steam trains are locked in museums felt to rust. Here it just seems like the steam trains are free( btw I don’t think the trains are alive beings)
I just absolutely love looking at the coupling rods of large steam engines, especially when they’re at high speeds. Just watching the mechanics work is amazing
45 minutes of pure Beauty and Joy.
I'm an American-railroading guy, but I just cannot stop replaying 0:37. It's gorgeous!
Indeed
I agree. Very lovely shots of the train and the countryside.
487 people without a Soul, fantastic film thank you.
I need to go to England! Beautiful landscape, weather, and of course trains! The perfect post card!
To wspaniałe!!!! U nas elektryczne jeżdżą znacznie wolniej i to na większości szlaków. Piękne lokomotywy i pięknie utrzymana infrastruktura. Stare nie zawsze oznacza złe!!! Chylę czoła!!! Tak trzymać!!!!
Of course steam trains have to be fast. You need to outrun the Dementors
Raize J haha
lol
That is the best harry poster reference I've ever heard
Lol
💡🔫
Just listen to the beautiful whistle Clan Line 10:08,and,followed by the glorious fluttering,and,almost mournful whistle of Brittannia at 10:37. Magnificent,absolutely magnificent.
This is a great combination, my son and I have watched this hundreds of times. the variety of shots, landscape, weather and engines after years this is still the go to!
You have just made an old man very happy. It bought back my childhood!! Many thanks for an excellent video which had good quality at full screen on my PC.
What a treat for a freezing cold afternoons viewing in boring Switzerland. Im not a train buff but I enjoyed every second of the film. Anyone who says the sight and sound of one of these beauties thundering past does not move them must simply be dead inside.
There's nothing but the joy and the happiness of seeing a restored steam train chugging along at 100 mph through the rolling pastures of England. America can never match the willpower of British railways. When I saw these these steamers hustling their restored carriages along England's countryside they brought tears to my eyes.
Theres something about steam that stirs the soul.
Yep steam engines are the best.
YES.
Two of the greatest sounds, steam locomotives and a Merlin engine in a spitfire 😊
@@harrythered4-4-0production8 shovels the coal?
These trains give me goosebumps... seriously they are brilliant
There is absolutely nothing like steam locomotives when it comes to motive power. Over here in the States, I'm anxiously awaiting the return of Nickel Plate Road 2-8-2 No. 587, a locomotive that headed the Indiana State Fair Train every year when I was a kid. I loved seeing 587. She was pulled from service in early 2003 for a mandatory overhall after 15 years of service. She's expected to make her triumphant return in 2017, just in time for her 100th birthday.
Anyway, this footage, in my opinion, belongs in a gift shop at a museum, it's that good. Great job.
I served my time with British Railways at Gorton Tank Manchester as a 'Fitter', working on these magnificent beasts. but familiarity breeds contempt and I failed to see the beauty of the product.
Thank God there were people with cameras and foresight who recorded them in full flight. The main 'Con Rod' which ties the wheels together took 8 men to lift it onto the wheels and to see it flying round as if it were made of balsa wood gives some idea of the massive strength of these machines. my sincere thanks to you guys with cameras and brains enough to know how to use them. this display of strength and speed makes 'Jurassic Park' look like childsplay.
Takes me back to going to school on a steam train. In those days the engines were absolutely filthy, not like the shiny ones you see now. But just seeing a steamer makes slightly misty eyed.
I'm Australian so getting to see British steam for 45 min straight is awesome.Thanks man!
A relief to have some steady camera work and absence of cheesy commentary. Great collection of clips.
God they are beautiful, every single one of them, they were the backbone of Britain during the dark days of Europe, the thought of being there at that time watching them fly past the country fields on a cold crisp day and thinking, “God speed you legends, we’ll chase them all the way back to Berlin with the finest locomotives in Europe! Keep up the good work chaps!”
Необъяснимое наслаждение испытываешь, глядя на эти МАШИНЫ!
Beautiful rolling green hills in a beautiful country.Regards from the USA Midwest where the corn is head high.
As a bit of a weather nut there's one thing I envy about the MidWest and that's the vast distances you can see, good for chasing tornados. In Britain you can see to the next bend in the road which may be as much as 100 yards.
bloody wonderful...makes my heart pound watching these beauties ...thankyou for filming them x
HOLY CRAP SUCH NASTOGIA I SAW THIS WHEN I WAS 2 WATCHED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THIS WORK OF ART AND CHILD HOOD MEMORIES
My two year old is obsessed with trains. Thank you so much for this video, perfect for rainy afternoons.
Awesome footage, well shot and a lot of hard work chasing trains going that fast ...
Best collection of history I've seen....touched and seen most of them in my youth
La plus belle vidéo du monde !!!! Que je connaisse sur TH-cam !!!! et regarde inlassablement !!!!!! Merci ! Cordialement .
What a buzz! Remember listening to the old locos moving around late at night from my bedroom window and feeling so excited to get the chance to even hear them. A feeling I had forgotten until watching them here, what a feeling!
What some lovely images and footage! I've always loved steam trains for the variety and colour of the engines, that plaintive whistling noise, the roar of the wheels on the rails, the smell of the steam and engine oil in the station as they pass and the feeling of watching Victorian/20th century engineering that still exudes so much power as they pound out the miles to their destination. Thank you for sharing these, this video has definitely put me in the mood for a trip on the Severn Valley steam railway soon!
Me on the tracks: oh no I'm going to get ran over by a steam engine steam engine runs over me me: ahhhhhh!
The Mallard locomotive... It's so beautiful...
The one in the video was actually the Bittern but the looks are very similar :)
These make we recall Japan's many years ago, steam trains sound pretty cool.
+Ponysynth One Official That's actually 4464 Bittern, functionally and cosmetically identical to Mallard, but Mallard is apparently too prestigious and famous to run, so she's been on static display for a while now, which I find a little odd as 4472 Flying Scotsman has just returned to mainline service and is one of the most famous steam locomotives in existence. Ah well, Bittern is still a fabulous locomotive.

Toby Larone when I was younger I was let into the cab of bittern
Thank you for posting this. My 2 year old niece is mesmerized by this footage and constantly wants to watch your "choo choo show".
Thanks Ty the invite to your work and I will
Magnificent compilation. Thank you for taking the effort and time to post them up. I'm of an age when I saw most of those at speed when in British Rail daily service. 70013 Oliver Cromwell especially poignant. 1951, standing on Stratford Station in East London following my parents divorce hearing in the nearby court, I saw out bound from Liverpool Street the East Anglian Express. Flashed through the Station very fast but not fast enough I could not read the nameplate on the Smoke Deflectors. Vivid memory for obvious reasons and sewed the seeds of a lifetime's interest in transport. With flashing golden con-rods, 70013 looked brand new that day. Later, I discovered it had left the works where it was newly built not long before I saw it.
There's something so awesome about being able to see what drives a steam train forward as opposed to not seeing it in an electric/diesel train. I mean seriously the steam, and all that visible machinery moving, there's just something amazing about it. It's as if you can see the human effort and ingenuity that went into it all right there before your eyes.
Love these things.
Makes me a little misty eyed! I may be foolish, but as a Brit. (80) now living in America for over 30 years, this brings back many happy memories of train spotting as a youth in the "good old days". Nice footage. Makes me very happy to see.
Beautiful,beautilful,beautiful. I can watch this over,and,over,and,over.
22:53 OMG. Double steam train! DOUBLE STEAM TRAIN ALL THE WAY!! OMG!!! WOOOOOW!!!!!
Nox Xelor Those are Henry and Rebecca.
@@samanli-tw3id u right
I TOTALLY agree with Dave Cooper Excellent camerawork and well chosen locations makes this an extremely enjoyable video.
I love to consider how that these majestic behemoth machines of power and precision were forged into staggeringly sized masses of pure metals assembled further into a complex series of sytems capable of insane pressures and feats when assembled in such a way to harness these great powers of physics, nature, maths and materials in a time we're people were still bangin around on/with horses and carts 🙃
Dirty, smelly, FABULOUS! I feel so sorry for those miserable, little diesel rail cars.
Great cinematography. Waaay better than anything on telly tonight!
I thought I'd get bored after three minutes and before I knew it, I had to pause it halfway through for supper!!! Excellent video!!
My two-year-old is a bit obsessed. Honestly, thank you!
.......all the theatre and rawness of the steam trains have been sorely missed......life today is just too damn safe.........to see one in fuull flight is a memory few people would forget...and always treasure
Reminder: Britain invented the train which is why there are still steam trains out there operating
After buying several Corgi steam legends locos,I just had to see this! Wonderful, just wonderful.Thanks so much and all the very best from Madrid Spain.
Dog train??!?!!?;!!!?!?
@@battleshipfan3435 no the model company dumbass
One of the best steam videos I have seen on youtube, great filming and the clarity is superb along with the sound.
Absolutely stunning tangmere is my absolute favourite
It must be such a privilege to be at the helm of these mighty machines
Wow! This is absolutely fabulous! I have always bemoaned the fact that camcorders came along only after steam locomotives disappeared. Thanks to TH-cam, I can view these beauties again.
😊
Wonderful stuff!! Thanks so much for this! :D (23:53 .....shivers down my spine!) :D
Very nice 🙂 to watch steam engine at their best. Hats off for those who have been involved in providing us the steam run beautiful view.
It makes me overjoyed to see a steam engine cannonballing through a station. Whistle blasting and coaches rushing by
Congratulations on a great compilation. This has obviously taken patience, skill, knowledge and research of timings and locations plus excellent editing. Thank you so much for sharing it. Bob K.
Thank-you for this treat! I would so love to be in England for the 200th anniversaries of steam trains. What a delight to enjoy videos of a quality I only dream of shooting and a subject I have such passion for. My God England is beautiful!
When I'was a kid, went to the round house,cleaning steam engines, helping bring wood to fire up steam engines.then i'had a chance to get in the cab, feed the fire...and see how this cold steel comes to life...the pressure gauge start going, getting warm,and i'stand at the driver window and magining driving.... My granpa was a steam enginer,he take me to the open track,and teach me how to drive,steam engine when i'was 12-13yrs old already know how to operate this powerfull machines...was17 when i' was a fire man, showel coal to firebox for 1yr, then fihish driver shool. at 18 i'was a steam engine driver 1958 in Europe....
When i'see these flying machines,bring back lots memories, still fill the hot steam, still smell the smoke,.....and I' really miss those years....and miss my granpa too, time goes fast, just like these trains, but nice to see these machines still runnning, makes me fill good again...
Thank you guys.to keep making these very good videos.
Lol, @25:31 the sheep! Modern day sheep never hear this much noise from trains! Any sheep from 1930s would have just yawned as it went by
As much as I love my big powerful steam engines, I gotta say that it's very exciting seeing steam at this speed! Love from 🇺🇲
Thanks for watching! 😄
You have done a wonderful job making this video, it gets played several times per day for my 3 year old grandson who cannot get enough of it ... especially the Doppler effect at 19:00, the best example on TH-cam.
Steam in the English countryside.....Superb !!!!!! Beautifully filmed too !
5:02 Tangmere and Oliver Cromwell on the same train is like seeing a white alligator. It’s a very rare encounter and one you won’t forget.
Absolutely magnificent! Some of the finest footage of high speed steam I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched plenty. I like the minimum use of telephoto lenses so that a real impression of the speed was experienced especially on wide screen TV and surround sound, what a treat. Thanks so much for posting.
Just wonderful! Loved the night views and the one coming out of the fog! Just great!
An absolutely fantastic video, the best compilation of high speed steam I’ve come across on TH-cam. The clip of Clan Line at Keynsham 19 mins in 😍 just incredible. Thank you for sharing!
