- Almost four year's ago 45699 'Galatea' and 70000 'Britannia' ran back to back up Shap Bank with just one mile separating them and many said it wouldn't happen again, or would it ?? Well the answer this time would be, Yes, kind of....well a different named engine this time around but still the same class of loco and still two steam locos over Shap with nothing in between ! On Saturday 18th May, 70000 Britannia hauled the Lakelander from Crewe to Carlisle while almost 15 minutes behind 45690 Leander was on the Cumbrian Mountain Express. This meant once again the theater of steam aka Shap Bank would play host to two steam trains running back to back over the busy WCML !
All scenes were filmed at Salterwath, which is just after the halfway mark of the climb. Britannia was up first with her 12 coach train putting on a fantastic display with her pristine set of coaches. Then not too far behind and next up the line was Leander and her usual Jubilee roar was in full working order. As you can see at the start of the video, the opening scenes to each loco are shot through the boundary fence as is the going away shot. This scene will be soon gone as new green palisade fencing is due to be erected at anytime !
A long but very well rewarded trip. Scenes like these don't happen too often and I be fool to say it won't happen again ! I hope you enjoy the drama over Shap !
I love the Dramatic Scenes of Steam.
11 unassisted is a very substantial load for a Jubilee on Shap. Very good work by the fireman.
Nothing like a Brit in full chatter. A wonderful site and nice to see Britannia back where it should be on the main line.
Great video and cracking locations , both locos putting in a fantastic show .
Hi Liam , very good ,Great locations and views ...Dave
Nowhere else in the world could you experience such wonderful sight and sounds.
PLEASE DO NOT TELL UTTER LIES ON HERE, THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF PRESERVED STEAM IN MANY COUNTRIES TO BE SEEN ON YOU TUBE !!!, AS YOU ARE PROBALY TOO BONE IDLE LAZY TO HAVE BOTHERED TO RESEARCH !! BEFORE STATING UNTRUE FACTS/!..
++@@peterbuckley265++ And BOLLOCKS TO YOU TOO mate.
Marvellous captures. Both sounded magnificent!
The best sounding Brit for some time. 70000 going really well!
Thanks for posting
Oh, & the jubilee sounding superb as ever...
Looks like one of Leander's best ascents
@@stephenharrison645 Almost broke the Jubilee record, which was set by Galatea, about 0.5mph off over the top !
Just ‘Thanks’ as ever for your superb videos.
The Power of Steam Liam, stunning footage once again.
Fantastic as always. I do enjoy your videos as you both choose different places and angles to shoot. For me this is the best place to listen to steam. The exhaust beats echoing off the fells. Plus for a cold loco Leander looks to be attacking the climb
Liam and Phil, stunning captures as ever of this remarkable combination. The timing of the first going away shot of Leander and the CME could not have been much better for you, with the approach of the oncoming train. Kind regards, Bob.
Thanks! Beautiful work!
Both sounding and looking amazing. Great video
Another beauty Mr Marsh.
Brilliant video Liam and Phil. Great to be able to capture 2 steam tours one behind the other in a short time. As you said, it does not happen very often. Kind regards C&A
Excellent ,many thanks .
Another cracking upload. Many thanks! 😊
Great pictures and sound, congratulations and thanks for this nice video.
Thank you for a fantastic video! I have to say that the Jubilee put in a superior performance, given the difference in the Tractive Efforts of the two locomotives! Thank you again!
Can’t wait to see the P2 on Shap.
Beautiful. I've just uploaded the the small steam train at Wroxham ;)
Love it great job
Britannia'on the lakelander on Craigslist about both locos.
Wow four years already
Brit going very well with 12. Still those air con coaches though, which look incongruous and you can't hear the loco from inside them.
Very good :)
l'arrêté photo est magnifique !!!!! FRANCE ( Belfort Vesoul ) Cordialement MERCI .
Great set up of video shots and nicely put together. Shaun the sheep did not look to good at the end.
