    Thank you for watching everyone! I’ve noticed a few people asking about the soundtrack - it’s actually composed by my brother! You can find his music under the name Godspel.

    Back in the 90’s my father used to take my brother and I from Oxford to Swindon to swim at the now closed Oasis Leisure Centre. We’d often stop at Didcot Railway Station on the way back to have a hot chocolate and KitKat on the platform on the way back as Didcot was one of the stations where an intercity 125 would go through without slowing down. Having one of those thunder past as we all stood in awe was breathtaking, to then see a steam engine go through was truly a magic experience. Seeing the reaction from Francis as the train tore past and his infectious joy take Chris by surprise was a welcome relief from the distractions of today.
    Dad had a stroke about 2 months ago and is recovering well, but Chris repeating ‘I rather enjoyed that’ and your smile Francis instantly took me back 25 years to when life was significantly less complicated. Absolute love.

    I like to fall asleep quite often listening to Chris' podcast. There's no better way to wake up on a Saturday morning than to see everyone commenting on the suggestion to watch the video of you two together. I've been a fan of Chris since the start even being from The States. I'm a car, motorsports, nut. Crazy about cars. I know everyone mentions it a lot now, but I'm 44, and I have gone through deep bouts of depression, existential angst, and anxiety all of my life. I recognize it has affected me deeply, especially with enjoying life as much as I should. It robs me of joy. Not that I'm not passionate about cars and all that is involved with them, great food, trains, airplanes, technology, architecture, on and on. Your passion resonated within me. Your happiness chasing that marvel of engineering made me cry the whole time. Seeing you two chasing it was a thing of beauty. Genuinely so. It's nothing to scoff at. It's genuinely inspiring to always seek what I am passionate about and to fight off what I battle every day. Can't thank you enough for sharing your passion and joy, I'm sure it helps everyone more than you'll ever truly know. Godspeed brother.

    My old man was a railways driver of 38 years in Western Australia. He started on those in the 60s and worked his way up. He passed on during covid, and its safe to say everybody who REALLY enjoys steam trains, cars and planes probably has some of those special characteristics that not that long ago, got you locked up in a mental facility. Now we embrace these people, who continue to push technology and our society to new levels of comfort and ability to create. That ability to hyperfocus on an object, understand the energy it creates and share it with the world is just delightful. I shed a tear for my fathers passing, for the passion of all things machines and thank you for sharing that moment with the world.

    Most wholesome video I've seen in a long time, and a much needed reminder to never be afraid to be passionate about something, about anything. Sometimes you get lucky enough to introduce that passion to someone else, and share enthusiasm in that collective experience.

      Hopefully will be at east Lancashire railway if not on railtour duty. It’s a much sought after locomotive…. It’s only one of a small pool that can haul west coasts mk2 carriages. It also is used on the fort William line in the summer on scotrail passenger service. Owned by the great Ian Riley (should be Sir by now).

    2 things brought tears to my eyes this year.
    The end of Clarkson, May and Hammond.
    Then this.

    Mate this is by far the best video! Within a short time you brought so many emotions back to your viewers that only your heart can make your soul feel. Thank you all! I realized that making others smile and being able to see that happen is what I and so many others enjoy in life. This short film truly exemplifies what we all feel that words cannot explain. Cheers and one day I hope I can make as many people in this world smile like you all did in this film. THANK YOU❤
