- Volume up for this one! Some terrific sounds from these great locos echoing around the centre of Birmingham!
First up are GWR Castles 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' and 7029 'Clun Castle' double-headed for Vintage Trains headed for Hereford and the Welsh Marches. These locos are in great condition and sound absolutely fabulous on entry to the station and also departing.
Next up is D345 heading the Pathfinder 50th Anniversary tour from Burton-on-Trent to Weymouth.. Again - Sounding absolutely great applying the power up the incline and through the tunnel on approach to New Street.
Hope you enjoy this footage - This was great to film :)
Thanks as always for watching..

Love the 2 steams together. Amazing Video!
I was in first class on the castle tour 👍
As the Castles steamed slowly into the station I could see lots of steam above the bridge after they'd passed. I half-expected to see 1054 bringing up the rear.
WOWWY Two spirited departures from Birmingham great
Impressive arrival by the 40. Actually it's quite nostalgic to see a 47 back at New Street
Wow,double steam amazing, 😊
Fantastic
Talk about rolling back the years !!!
I remember travelling behind Clun Castle in 63 or 64 between Wolverhampton and Chester. Must have had a King from Paddington but such a long time ago. Nice to see them running well.
Nurse! The screens! I wish I was there to see that, I can smell the smoke if I get close enough to my monitor...🤩
I was on platform 2 at Birmingham New Street! Didn’t see the class 40 though.
Class 40 and Mk1's.................... REAL RAILWAYS!
Excellent catch 👍
Brilliant video well done great camera work as usual as well bye for now Philip
They let steam into new street? Amazing video as always, abd a rare catch
Very good video, lovely sounds off the castles and 40! Nice to see the ex-Rivieria Mk1s in use.
Awww shame they are not in GWR livery! Cool class 40.
It would have been nice if they could have been shining like that in the 1960s
The GWR castle's at Birmingham New Street station no way
Nearly perfect!
Now if there was a Western on the back........
"Thats funny.......sound's like a zulu impi in the distance" 😜
Two Castles in original GWR livery, a rake of correctly liveried 'Shit and Custard' coaches and a Class 47 in BR colours as well.
Someone got their act together for this.
Two Castles in British Railways livery, 1 early, 1 late crest.
@@andrewnelson4057 Good spot and accurate as well although Clun Castle was built in the early years of BR.. I was noting the unlined livery on the engines which comes from the 1920s / 30s.
@@1chish On closer inspection, I think you will find they were both in the B R lined livery which in effect was the standard GWR passenger livery of the 1920s with minor adaptations such as the two versions of the BR totem on the tenders and modification of the lining on the locos around the cab.. They were both lined out. The current livery is the only one appropriate for these locos as they were both fitted with double chimnys in the BR period and Clun Castle was not built by the GWR, it was a BR built loco in 1950
@@davidpatrick8599 I never suggested Clun Castle was built by GWR. I said "Clun Castle was built in the early years of BR".
And I am sorry I disagree over lined livery.
Hate to think how long it took to restore that lot !
TH-cam experts, how is the diesel locomotive controlled, and what tractive power is it providing ? I know they sometimes provide air for non vacuum braked carriages on steam hauled trains. I always think it's less of an adventure because the train will make any gradient with a banking engine permanently coupled.
The deisals are also there because they connect to modern signaling equipment !!
@ normanwallace7658 WTF is a ‘deisals’? Really, as if there weren’t enough examples in commentator’s remarks. Did you make that up yourself? Remember to proofread your article.
Turn the music up!
Is it just me or does anyone else get frustrated when the rake is made up with a mix of different colour carriages
Hang on, if it wasn't for donations and a lot of very hard work they wouldn't be there at all!
