steam train at speed # 104

To Mottisfont & Dunbridge for the returning Dorset Coast Express and I have the place to myself - not so surprising as the earlier drizzle has turned into a downpour, Mercifully Tangmere is dead on time and whistles as the barriers descend. One good thing about a damp day is a great exhaust, As the train disappears the barriers rise and two cars cross in perfect symmetry. A while later at Whitchurch the down stopper - just disappearing - makes me head for the footbridge and somehow I turn off the camera - it's back on in time to catch a throaty Tangmere in a cloud of steam. The young voice says 'I thought steam trains were supposed to be small'

Great video well done

[@bkendlerA4]

Brilliant. The first clip was superb. Loved the way the smoke and steam hung about. Well done for braving such weather. It's amazing I filmed Tangmere that day at Putney in bright sunlight. All the best.
