  • Here is my footage of The Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express hauled by LNER B1 Thompson Class 61264 and LMS Black Five 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' on Saturday 25th January 2014. The tour run by The Railway Touring Company was running from Manchester Victoria to Carlisle via Bolton, Preston, Carnforth and Shap and then returning over The Settle and Carlisle Railway, Hellifield, Clitheroe and Bolton before returning to Manchester. We see the pair in fine form with thirteen on the hook on the outward leg at Bay Horse of which the second shot was captured by Mark (Monopodmansdad) and then on the approach to Shap Summit at Shap Wells.
    Hope you enjoy.

    Excellent video Phil! The first WCME of 2014 and what a start to the year. Great show from the pair and just incredible sound of the climb up Shap. The wind did put up a filming challenge.
    Thanks for Sharing!

    • @981smithy
      @981smithy  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Stuart and the shear power of the pair was a sight and sound to set 2014 of with a bang over the Northern Fells.
      All the best.......Phil.

    Superb video Phil, the second camera shot on Shap really gave a dramatic view of the locos pounding their way to the summit. Thanks for sharing.

    Great camera work and good to hear them pulling up the hill. Just think, when this happened every day we never paid any attention to it!

    Quality viewing as always, really like the use of the 2nd camera, and good effort with the locations and weather.

    • @981smithy
      @981smithy  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks James and it was a challenge to find a sheltered location but the sound of 61264 & 45407 soon drowned out any wind problems.
      Regards Phil.

    Smithy.....what a sight for an ex-pat living in Tasmania. Sound quality is excellent too. I used to go (steam) train spotting at Crewe in my younger days nearly 56 years ago. Sadly no passenger trains, or much else railway-wise in Tassie. Steam trains are living, breathing 'things' that have to cared for and treated wisely. I'm going to spend a few more hours watching your vids!

    Super show Phil in pretty awful weather conditions, but that's beauty of steam engines working hard - they make the scene even more dramatic regardless of the weather! Well done for a well edited video. Liked it very much! Cheers. Ken

    • @981smithy
      @981smithy  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      rab4472 Thanks for watching Mike and I for one know how hard it is to keep up with all the coverage on youtube. The performance on Saturday of 61264 & 45407 was just perfect and the sound was as good as it gets.

    Nice shots Phil from both locations; I take it Mark was being your second cameraman at Bay Horse since we drove past him while he was waiting there...Graham

    • @981smithy
      @981smithy  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Graham and as you thought Mark took command of the second shot at Bay Horse but sadly his shot at Shap summit was spoilt by the intense rain.

    With performances and confident footplate work like THAT no wonder the UK is the preserved steam capital of the world. Personally I didn't think the weather spoilt it.... the strong wind and rain made it all the more dramatic.
    Great vid Phil... loved it.....

      @981smithy  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks very much Rod and the pair were on top form. The wall I was filming next to sheltered most of the wind and the blimp I have did its part.
      Many regards Phil.
