    Love the sound, loved seeing lots of spotters as well including lots of youngsters. Hard to believe this engine has been around since 1948 and still going strong! Reminds me of my 50th Birthday, I drove 78018 from Loughborough GCR to Leicester North and as the other paying driver did not arrive, Drove all the way back. Light engine only but it was marvellous and am saving to take a full rake for my 60th!

    Fantastic video mate! Shame this technology wasn’t available before modernized stations, electronic signaling etc. Would’ve been great to see nothing but the older stations, all the loads of signal boxes, signalmen waving, and semaphore signals galore! It was great in the 1980s before modernization a real Time Machine.

      What a belting suggestion, if the boys in the USA are prepared to pay the flights etc then I’m most definitely in lol!

      Would it be good to have mph, psi, regulator and cutoff settings at bottom of screen?

    • @Shoddy127
      @Shoddy127  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi & thanks for the kind comments! Thats something to potentially consider in the future but what must be remembered is that monitoring the cut off etc would be extremely difficult as this would interfere with the driver carrying out his work so unless I got another 3 or 4 cameras, it would be quite difficult to do unfortunately.

    What is it making the loud clacking noise when braking?

    • @Shoddy127
      @Shoddy127  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s probably the snifting valves opening due to no steam being applied as the regulator had been shut by the driver.

  • @michaeljohndennis2231
    @michaeljohndennis2231 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Looking at this footage, it’s very clear that we should go back to traditional steam trains and traditional train carriages, such as those with compartments - modern train carraiges are horrible by comparison, even in first class

  • @KCroOTM
    @KCroOTM 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi mate, got some great videos on your channel, I’m looking at achieving similar footage when I’m out and about driving. I’d like to know how you set up your GoPro to get such long/high quality footage and how you mount it to the loco if that is something you would be happy to share?
    Many thanks!

    • @Shoddy127
      @Shoddy127  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi KC, thanks for the comment!
      The GoPro is mounted onto the running board via a magnet. I also have an external battery & microphone which are all connected together which allows the better sound (in theory) & longer recording time. The battery is placed into a box to protect it from the weather & “grime” that comes from the engine. Like the camera, the microphone & battery box are held in place with magnets.
      It’s taken some time to get right but I think I’ve finally got there!

    • @Shoddy127
      @Shoddy127  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi lolookie1682, that is the gradient of the track, basically saying how steep the railway climbs. The bigger the number, the less steep it is.
