What’s not to love . Main line locos doing what they were designed for. I love the section at 5.17 with the fireman doing his bit. Each shovel of coal is seen by a short puff of dark smoke that very quickly clears. Classic of what “the book” says. All the locos are working well and hard on the climb. Well done again. Amacf
A fabulous compilation, many thanks for putting it together & sharing. Admittedly watching steam locos lifting trains over "The Fell" is something I will never tire of watching I'm afraid.
Ten minutes of excellent non stop action David, really enjoyable. I've often wished for a time machine to go back to Shap with modern equipment before the wires went up and the M6 blighted the landscape!
Many thanks Austin, much appreciated. Yes I get that totally - the volume of traffic back then, the bankers, the peace, and a railway full of life and interest.
An inspired compilation theme, David, brilliantly edited and captioned to great effect. Much appreciated documentation, too. All brilliant but my favourites: Galatea @ 03:10, The Great Marquess @ 04:50 and Oliver Cromwell @ 10:00. Kind regards, Bob
Many thanks Bob, very much appreciated. There have been some excellent runs over the years, and the sound and clag certainly made The Great Marquess one to remember! Thanks again, David.
Awesome sight to see all those and shows the power of Brittania Angry Ollie and Tornado off brilliantly also was Tangmere really struggling cos to me that poor loco always seemed to have some form of issue . Would love to see ollie and Brittania double head that would be spectacular
Many thans David, much appreciated. Yes, Tangmere had quite a battle, but in my humble opinion, had too many on (13) for a light pacific. She slipped at Shap Wells and twice at the summit, great enginemanship to get her there. A 70000/70013 would indeed be quite something!
I give in - I can't make up my mind which sounds best!! Is it the Brits, oh here's the 8F then along comes Lizzie. Maybe they are all great in there own way. Wonderful compilation so thanks for putting it together and sharing it with us David. Take care - Chris
Thank you very much Chris, much appreciated. I know what you mean, and we could probably agree that Tornado doesn't have the loudest bark! Interesting to see the differences when putting it together.
Thank you for the vid. What a pity the trains plus surroundings are esthetically anihilated by the ugly overhead wiring. On top of this, here in Germany the bulk of high speed lines run between high noise protection walls. What have they done to our trains Ma....
You’re welcome and thanks for your comment. Yes we have lost a lot of the character and beauty but it is remarkable that steam is allowed to run on the modern railway. We have some unattractive fencing too which is sadly on the increase. Thanks again, David.
Brilliant filming . Thanks for all your hard work.
thanks very much for taking the time to comment and your kind words, much appreciated.
Love the clanging of Tangmere at 07:34...🚂
Many thanks Walter, definitely makes a distinctive clang haha!
Beautifu! Triple liked ;-) I used to live near Shap (Towcett), youth is indeed wasted on the young!
Terrific video Highlighted just how good the Scots are!
Many thanks Peter. I fully agree - fantastic machines, and 46115 has given the pacifics a run for their money, if not bettered many performances.
Fantastic experience travelling south at speed on the steamers from Shap Summit to Tebay in the 1950s.
That must have been brilliant. Thanks for your comment.
Bloody fantastic footage 👍🏻

Thank you very much Alan, much appreciated. So many great performances over the years, and always exciting to see how it's going.
Excellent steam action at sharp summit

@@Linesider1 anytime david

Many thanks and much appreciated - like you, I don't think I'll ever get bored of it either.
I like this video my friend do. More pls
Many thanks again, glad you enjoyed it
No effort from Tornado or the Duchess whatsoever. Marvellous
Duchess and Shap the legend synonymous
@@simonal1989 just wondering and reminiscing what could a Duchess have done on the east coast mainline done in line in their heyday down sutton Bank?

Terrific, David. What a collection!
Many thanks Alan, much appreciated. Hopefully we will have more to enjoy next year!

Many thanks Barry, much appreciated.
Wonderful spectacle and quality of filming. Thank you for posting.

Real Steam, Long rakes of Coaches, SHAP, No Pusher, Easy-peasy. Bring back steam.
Sounds good to me!
Earl of mount edgcumbe causually sauntering over shap with load 10. You love to see it.
Superb video David. Great action compilation. Really enjoyed . Nice selection selection of locos. Kind regards C&A

Brilliant
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice train in a wonderful landscape, great video, thank you! Best Regards from Germany, Railherbie
Thank you very much Herbie, very much appreciated. Best regards to you from a grey England, David.
Some very good captures there, I’ve always wanted to come here myself.
The transition at 1:55 was absolutely perfect!
Many thanks Charlie, luckily the weather and lighting was very constant which helped the transition.
Main line steam at it's best!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video!
