@@mikethecabbie8476 Yep, I too was fond of the hydraulics, these and the Warships. Sadly, their reliability was suspect: I remember being stopped by loco failure on the Cornish Riviera Express in 1972, just west of Plymouth I think. 4 hours: but happily the bar was open and stocks lasted!
I've seen this scene in the beginning, in a lot videos. A rail car with a boxed stuff like that thing is really important or secret, between two 37s. What do they carry? Why 2 locos? And why there's no company name or something on that box? Anyone knows?
Thank you. The leading locomotive was a class 68 with a class 37 on the rear. The train in consist was a "Rail Head Treatment Train", often abbreviated to "RHTT". These trains often use a combination of water and sand to improve adhesion on the railway line due to contamination by falling leaves in the Autumn.
Thanks for watching. This train is known as the "High Output Ballast Cleaner" or "HOBC". The "HOBC" is an engineers train, used around the country by Network Rail, that specialises in the renewal of the track.
Thank you for watching. Quite a high proportion of the footage was recorded in 4K; however, some slightly older footage was only recorded in 1080P. Consequently, I have compressed the entire video to 1080P. Any future uploads will be published in 4K resolution, though.
A someone who hopes to introduce track side trainspotting to my 3 yr old.... can you enlighten me as to the best way to get on a platform in Britain with out having to buy tickets to ride. He's mad about trains and I'm trying to find better spot for close up spotting., thanks
Thank you for sharing an absolute Christmas feast of superb quality varied action. Filming technique brill gathered on what must be a quality 4K camcorder. I want one ~~ suggestions ??
Thank you for watching and for your kind comments. If you're looking for a quality 4K camcorder, I'd personally recommend the Panasonic HC-VX870, Panasonic HC-VX980 or Panasonic HC-VXF990 - all of which are in a similar price range. Perhaps the best value for money would be the Panasonic HC-VX870. I've only ever had experience with Panasonic camcorders; however, Sony also offers some great 4K capable camcorders.
i cant understand why the rail companies put 2 or 3 diesels on pulling a load ie the colas freight train had 3 engines.when i was a kid in the 70s and 80s i used to love watching the br diesels on the manchester to bolton line hauling long loads i never saw the engines doubled or tripled up like you see now.must use a fair bit of wasted diesel.
Great video......and love that little steam engine puffing away at the back of the train at 3:05!
Thank you for watching. I'm pleased you liked the video.
Excellent out-of-the-window shots behind the 37. Nice view of the Western at the beginning too, despite the 158 photobomb. And very lucky at 7:30!
Thank you.
Excellent quality compilation! Video is great, but it's the sound that really makes it for me - particularly the choppers and tractors!
Thank you very much.
We have some really colourful rolling stock, lovely to see.
Thanks for watching.
Brilliant footage
Thank you.
This is a brilliant video you have filmed during the second part of this year Kyle, I was on that western tour last Saturday.
Thank you, Mike. I hope you enjoyed your day on the Western tour - it certainly was a great sight, especially in my local area in East Yorkshire.
What's the reason for topping and tailing wagon trains with two engines?
@ 1:07 what kind of rail locomotive is that?
Interesting consist in Europe.
Class 52 'Western' - and one of the finest locos of 1960's and 70's. I'm shedding a few nostalgic tears as I type...

Wow, what a long train headed by 66524 at 19:48. !!!

One word.....Quality......

What is the rail car in the first shot used for?
This is a wagon used to transport nuclear waste.

That Western was awesome.

Just ask the staff if you can go on the platform and trainspot
Great video!

Thanks for 4K thoughts which are much appreciated in the quest to upgrade.
Best Wishes. Certainly your own film is Quality indeed

Look at that "Western" go!! Would give many modern traction a run for their money!
