- This is footage that I thought was long lost due to computer errors and the flood in December so I hope you enjoy the journey back a few years . Seen in the video are 45690 Leander , 46115 Scots Guardsman , 46233 Duchess of Sutherland, 5029 Nunney Castle, 6201 Princess Elizabeth , 48151, 45231 The Sherwood Forester , 45407,44871, 60163 Tornado and 70013 Oliver Cromwell . Various tours are covered from Great Britain tours , Cumbrian Mountain Express's , Fellsman's , The Hadrian , Lune Rivers Trust and many others . Some of the shots lack the same quality as others as I have had to take them of dvd's I had with the footage on them .

Brilliant thanks for sharing 👍 😀 😊
Fantastic collection. Brilliant to see so many old girls strutting their stuff without a pesky diesel stuck on the rear end. Many a year ago now, I had the shear pleaser to be on the Flying Scotsman, London to Edinburgh with only two stops with thirteen coaches that were full to capacity. The spray as we scooped up water at 90 mph was scary to a ten year old. The return trip we were pulled by a diesel which broke down at Crewe and had to be replaced, it could only manage ten coaches, oh the power of steam.
Absolutely enthralling. I would love to drive an engine like any of those! Every boys (and middle aged mans!!!) dream come true!!! Thank you for putting this up, it's really lovely to watch, like a work of art in 3D really!!!
I love the old steam train
some excellent camrea work there Ste nice one.
As an LMS fanatic, I really loved this. I had 25 lost years of steam in the fells and this helped fill the gap a little. Leander is still distinctive in BR Black among the overwhelming majority of BR Brunswick Green, but I'm sorry her LMS Crimson Lake days came and went during my absence. Now I need to know more about Sherwood Forester's incident! Thank you for sharing it.
Glad you saved them get them on a flash drive and don't loose it.
When we had proper train not like the shit today ;-)
For 30 years computers have been a tremendous aid to me in so many ways. When I do experience computer "errors" it is usually my fault. I have had my own experiences with lost and then recovered files. Your posting is a real treat for all train video buffs. The scenes of steam trains traversing the British landscapes are a national treasure. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Neal , pleased you enjoyed the video . Regards Steve
Those are some really impressive shots there, good to know you managed to find them again as it would have been a shame to loose them forever
Superbly captured breathtaking locations Stephen excellently presented. ☆
Nice selection steve i particularly remember the five dropping its fire. thanks for posting.
Thanks Anthony , the 5 and the fire drop stuck with me for some time as at 1st I thought 45231 was on fire until it clicked what was happening . Regards Steve
What a relief you managed to find/salvage this footage Steve. Too good to lose. You must take more care ;o) Good to see some familiar sights (and locos) that aren't currently available to us. Thanks for sharing. Chris
Thanks Chris, it was a bonus to be able to use the footage again . I agree nice to see the old stalwarts again . Regards Steve
Despite the flooding you had up there,a remarkable film Stephen !
Thanks David , getting back to normal just a shame the S&C is shut hence not much happening at the moment up North . Steve
Absolutely superb Steve, you must be made up to have been able to recover these shots. A great many highlights but to name just one, 'Tornado' really going for it at Helwith Bridge, a cracking shot. The sad thing is, as I mentioned the other day is that we'll probably not see scenes such as these again with the new loading rules etc. These were 'The Glorious Years'
Thanks Austin , I agree the loads will not be seen like that again without the can tagged on the rear . I remember Tornado very well at Helwith and I think it was her first run up the S&C if I am correct . Stev
Never herd them moaning them days about leaves on the line LOL!! :-D
Great stuff, Steve. Haven't been to Kirkby Stephen for at least 4 months, and missing it! Your superb footage brings it back, AND the other well-loved locations!
Thanks Alan , it was good that I managed to find the footage so that was a bonus. Steve
You must be "over the moon" that it surfaced again :)
Absolutely superb !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the very kind comments . Steve
Fantastic.. well worth recovering.. well done
Thanks David , much appreciated . Regards Steve
same her: fantastic footage and different viewpoint over the the Shap.
Cheers John, much appreciated . Steve
Superb collection of shots Steve especially the last shot. Regards C&A
Thanks C&A , right place right time for the last shot I suppose . Regards Steve
Some really good stuff Stephen. weather not always great but it is Britain after all. Well done
Thanks Anthony , we get a fair mixture of weather types plus it adds to the footage at times . Steve
Some fab bits of footage and so much clag! Shame about this year though with the S&C closed not much is happening this time round :(
Thanks for the very kind comments as they are much appreciated and I agree its grim at the moment steam wise . Steve
Very good, well planned shots and great sound all I need now is a frozen Jubbly and pork pie! Well done. Ed
Thanks Ed , a bonus finding all the footage I must admit . Kind regards Steve
See you had the same spotter's lunch as I did ;-)
It was fish paste sarnies and a bottle of Tizer,and a Kit Kat if I was lucky !!!!

Fantastic stuff and its not everyday you see the fire having to be dropped on the mainline
Thank you very much and I was in the right place right time for the fire drop I must admit . Regards Steve
I must admit I've done steam over Copy Pit and the West Highland extension. But I need to sample it on over Shap and the S&C
Greesley was the man those pacifics he built were a work of art pitty we don't have engineers like him today
First class show Stephen
Thanks Geoffrey , very sorry for the very late reply . Steve
What happened there with 45231 did the fireman drop the fire on the main line or something LOL!!
Hi Steve , very good too look back on ones steam , and put together...Dave
Thanks Dave , I agree it is good fun at the same time . Steve
Hi Steve, thanks for reply....Dave
3.00 - I swear I could smell that exhaust!
Must admit there was plenty of clag coming out of the chimney . Steve
Hi Steve what was happening to the Black 5 45231 to make it stop? Just seeing some flames coming out at the bottom of the locomotive.
Hi Peter , I believe the sprinkler for washing the coal had been left on so it ran short of water and partially dropped it's fire with the fire brigade then filling the tender from the nearby river !
"Run away!! Run away!!" (dumped boiler coal onto tracks for a quick shut-down?)
Volcano @ 2:37, very impressive. Thanks very much for posting (even though I am late to the party).
Was just wondering what happened to the loco at the end? I had some spcific questions some of you more enlightened chaps may be able to help with..:
Whay has the engine stopped where it is as opposed to at a station?
Why is steam coming out of the top?
Why is there fire underneath the engine?
Has something gone wrong there??
Excuse my ignorance, I supposed you might say your video has 'lit my fire' in terms of interest in steam engines etc!
Thanks for the comment Adjn , the steam locomotive has a water sprinkler to dampen down the coal dust in the tender and I believe it had been left running so with not enough water around the boiler the crew had to do an emergency stop and drop the fire to stop serious damage to the boiler. Regards Steve
@@TheStephengthompson That's very interesting, thanks. I imagine they are dumping all steam pressure as well? Then wait for the rescue??
well done to all of the camera men /women fantastic shots just goes to prove steam rules the rails long live steam steam rules supreme long live steam.
Thanks Timothy , sorry fr the very late reply . Regards Steve
How much influance does the fireman have over the white mostly steam exhaust and when the exhaust is mostly black smoke.
Most of the black smoke comes when the fireman is actually firing the engine Phil . Could be other factors but that’s the main one .
See one or two of them with bank engines behind them ;-)
Never occurred....during WWII Germans must have only been able to run trains at night....those plumes would be visible for 20 miles up-and-away in a fighter on a clear day. Thereafter, 'life' for the loco would be about 2 minutes.
