• Steam Locomotives At S...
The third installment in the series once again captures British steam locomotives at speed across the mainline network at speeds of 60mph+ The speeds are shown in the video which have been obtained from on board timers and magazine reports which I trust to be close to accurate, some exact speeds are also shown where one or more reports indicate the same speed at the location shown in video.
I hope you enjoy the video.

Liam and Phil, many thanks for yet another superb compilation. I have seen most of the content more than once before and am equally happy to watch them over and over. As well as your line/location knowledge, your addition of speed information has added a great deal to the already spectacular shots. My favourite sequence: the double-header at Elvanfoot, with many runners-up. Kind regards, Bob.

This is what thay were made for....Speed....High balling on down the line....Thanks for such a fine fine Steam Train video....From Kentucky USA...!
The sound when these beasts go by at speed is absolutely stunning.
@ThatTechDude On approach, some of them sound like a rolling thunder and a blast furnace. Hard to comprehend how much power steam can produce.
"Thanks for watching" - No, thank you for creating, filming, compiling and editing. Brightens up a covid Sunday morning.
Any time!
Man, you Brits have wonderfully smooth track work compared to the US. Loved the A4.
That’s because we have different requirements. Smooth track is not a requirement for 2-3 km long freights going at ~70kmh speed, which are the majority of American trains. But it’s absolutely essential for express passenger services going twice that fast such as you find in the U.K.
Never forget us limies respect our cousin's over the pond
It's mind boggling to think of just how fast those machinery parts are moving, the sychronisation of the motion just blows the mind when seeing just how fast everything happens when looking at the loco's at speed
An absolute delight, and no silly music, commentary or adverts. Quite made my day!!
Brings back childhood memories of my train spotting days in the 50s. Happy days! Superb shots!
Thank you for preserving these wonderful images. Bring back so many memories of steam in Australia....
steam locomotive has a unique energetic by speeding
watching it relaxed me
It takes a lot of maintenance to have an 80 year old locomotive that can travel 70 miles per hour.
Those golden days of steam locomotives have long gone from my country India with my childhood as well, sometimes these things are come alive only on TH-cam, Thanks for the presentation.
There is still preserved steam on India
It's just that there are too much WAP4s and ALCOs....
Oh boy what superb filming and beautiful locations .I love the English countryside and the beautiful steam locos Thank you from Melbourne Australia
Magnifique > des natures d'Angleterre ... Bravo et Merci !!! Un bonjour de France le 27 06 18
Superb! The Union of South Africa followed by Beardy's Pendolino at 17:06 is some of the best footage I've seen. Thank you for a great video...
Double-header in the early morning? light at 11:00...just spectacular.
Sunset 19.50pm
This minute, there were one truck at the back of the video was as fast as the train ☺
I literally can’t find the words!
Amazing!!! Supreme!! Radical! The best locomotive train spotting since, the beginning of time. To see those loco’s is truly a wonderful experience, thanks guys. This video is absolutely beautiful. I wish I could have my own copy. Amazing work. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bravo !!! beau spectacle !!! 75 mph == 120 kmh train 11 à 13 voitures ! Merci de nous avoir indiqué les vitesses !je me suis fait un tableau pour admirer la beauté de ces trains !
Magnifique ! Cordialement ' un regard de FRANCE ce 02 11 18 et bravo pour le bruitage naturel de ces belles machines ! c'est extraordinaire merci . FRANCE
Merci pour cette compilation. Nous n'avons pas su conserver en France ce riche patrimoine de trains vapeur. Bravo à nos amis anglais et bonne Année à tous.
Your efforts are much appreciated: from California.
Glorious shots. Loved the Jubilee double-header.
11:59 oliver cromwell blows smoke ring a lot of these were once a few miles from me at Barry Yards...used to see hundreds of old steam trains there...they are still being restored...great to see them coming back to life... love the winter shots...colder means more steam clouds hell yea
That first engine, in the red livery, looks absolutely beautiful!
Finally, now we can see those impressive machines in high resolution and color. Nice.
Absolutely wonderful...My England , and these wonderful trains......How often are they in service ? fantastic scenery....Just how I remember it to be..
Beautiful, especially the LMS in varying lighting conditions.
Beautiful steam trains ❤️ it bring me tears, thank you for sharing
I remember as a boy hearing and seeing the engines pulling the trains up out of Sheffield Midland, through Heeley.
The exhausts were some times more like a 'bang' as the power was on so much.
The smoke and the sparks flying all around, and the pride we felt, if the driver, or fireman waved at us on the bridge. :)
We could sometimes hear them shunting all night as they were making the trains up.
18:00
The train behind you: Let's go with Grandpa.
Malad A4: Come on...
비비밥드론 I don’t mean to ruin the joke, but I think that was Union of South Africa 😬
He was referring to the class of loco, it’s a simple mostake to call the A4s mallards
Lovely shots of these beautiful locomotives.
WoW !!! The power of steam. May it never die !
The power of steam is so evident at 8:30; what a beautiful and majestic moment! The way the steam engine hauls the load is a sight that every steam entusiast will chesish. Thank you for the upload. VishG
Thank you very much, you're most welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Terrific panning at 11:00. As usual, the great quality we've come to expect from you. Australia has some preserved steam locos but UK almost certainly leads the globe. Terrific that many trains do not have diesel assistance in the rear.
Edmund Carew The diesel loco is not there to push usually (unless starting out from a stop up a steep hill, as at Swanage) but to provide electric power for modern carriages fitted with electric train heating.
@@BackwardFinesse I gather this has been exacerbated by West Coast Railways in the UK having its generator car being inoperable. I am told it would be an acceptable substitute on some heritage trains in lieu of a diesel at the rear.
This takes me back to my childhood. Thank you !
An amazing compilation of Steam at speed Liam....superb work as always....Bob
Superb video, beautifully shot and very informative. Great shots of Princess Elizabeth, one of my real favourites. I will definately look out for more of your videos. Thank you.
There can be no question that British steam locomotives are the most elegant and unique ever to have graced the tracks
German ones were pretty impressive... larger.
AMAZING Video thank you so much for sharing this. There is nothing better than seeing a steam engine at speed.
Once you have experanced the magestic power of the steam locomotive it stays in your hart for ever .Love this video Thank you .
Superb collection and no ads..brilliant
Very enjoyable 20 minutes of mainline steam in their finest hours. Especially the runs of number 9 before the A4's retirement. Looking forward to when the next Steam Locomotives At Speed Collection. Richard
great footage..nice that the UK remains on steam locos, wished the US had more of these highballin down the rails. beautiful machines of our history
We have 900+ preserved , although many need restoration & we have quite a few brand new under construction.
Voilà pour moi un vrai train dans toute ça splendeur.
La magnifisance d une locomotive a vapeur ça avait une âme une grandeur qui est grâce aux enciens et passionnés qui nous permet de revoir ces joyaux sur rails. Mon grand père maternel était mécanicien sur la pacific 231 k ces lui qui m'a rendu fou de ces locomotives.
A 63 ans je vous assure aucun train actuel n'a grâce à mes yeux. Et je maintien que le plus beau train du monde est tracter par une locomotive a vapeur.
I like the british steamtrain drivers....they show what the Machines can 👍
Nice video, and always nice to see and hear locos that were meant to go at a decent speed.
Always at bit of a let down to see mainline locos running on preserved lines at 20mph running tender first.
Still better than not seeing them
Thing is Steve , that is what happens when we breed a country full of liberalistic wankers .
I'd love to see a driver 'accidentally' give a Pacific her head on somewhere like the Severn Valley...
I'm lucky enough to live on the line just by Ashford Bowdler, Duchess of Sutherland came past last weekend and sitting in my car at Ludlow station today, heard the unmistakeable pheep of an A4, turned out to be Union of South Africa! It's a magic location that's for sure. Ace video.
Considerando que são locomotivas à vapor, elas são fantásticas pela capacidade de arrastar uma grande composição de vagões e sua alta velocidade.
Verdadeiramente um grande espetáculo poder assistir o desempenho dessas locomotivas. Eu logo direi "louco-motivas ".
There's NOTHING likes the site & sound of a steam locomotive at speed. I can just remember steam in service & all I can say is thank God that we saved so many in the UK. Great to see so many brand new ones under construction. Really want to see the unrebuilt P2 when it's complete.
Wow! those steam trains are amazingly beautiful, I love watching your videos..... thank you so much for sharing
Your videography is just outstanding! Well done 👏👏👏
Nice video great camera work as usual great stock of locomotives bye for now Philip
awesome pair of jubilees
Utterly glorious! Thank you!
always nice to see some of the strategic reserve out stretching their legs !!!
11:09 the guy driving white truck slows down to look even....magnificent sight of the two engines and backdrop of the trees and hills....could be 1950`s apart from the catenarys lol...doing what the animals live for...speed under their own power....and nice clouds of steam...hardly any pollution unlike diesel...even though I like diesel....steam trains happiest at speed...afterall they make their own power...love em.
Yes l grew up in the 1950's and l remember them very well...!
Thanks for uploading. Very enjoyable.
I really like the footage @ 14:08 as the train draws nearer and the steam and smoke can be seen behind and beneath the train, as it drifts down the embankment behind. Perfect position and conditions. Good work.
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it and that particular scene.
Steam locos were magnificent, powerful and gentle monsters that transformed the world. Perhaps one day we'll remember them as they should be..
I think we do remember them as they should be... up to this day, the image of a steam loco hauling a train is an icon of progress, growth and achievement.
It's like seeing clips of Thomas And Friends, but in real life. Beautiful video I wish that here in the USA, we could have more like this.
Delightful collection very satisfying. Bravo. More. More.
Express coming through! 🚂🚃🚋
Excellent. All gorgeous; particularly stirring is Lord Dowding & Royal Scott doubled up. Lovely powerful, evocative machines; just full of life; a visual feast.
These magnificent engines and their shiny carriages are a delight to watch. The love, care, patience and expertise that has gone into their restoration is admirable. I do just wonder, however, how all that black smoke belching from the chimney is going to help us achieve zero carbon emissions.
12:08 Just Look At How 6201 Takes That Turn
This was an excellent video of steam locos at speed , good work .
12:07
Keep looking at the tender:
Do you see how it swivels from side to side?
That looks scary
More enjoyable preserved steam footage. Thank you. Some of your Gloucestershire based locations are very familiar to me. In 1951, family circumstances meant a relocation for nine year old me from London to Gloucester living with some older Aunts. My paper round soon after enabled me to buy a bicycle so I could get around. Those bridge and station locations you stood on were once very familiar to me. Having stood there in those far away mid-1950s watching the steam locomotive action and even travelling under those bridges on steam trains on more than a few occasions. If only my limited paper round income could stretch to a Camera. Image capture far more expensive back then. Now pressing a button on a mobile phone can produce first class images and footage. I saw some impressive stuff back then. The junior school I attended had it playground right up against the raised railway bridge brickwork in the City centre in London Road. There, just about every passenger train would see its locomotive detached prior to going "on shed" for coal and water for return trips. They would wait fully on the London Road Bridge for several minutes waiting for the signal and points changes.
These impressive locomotives included brand new Britannia Class Locomotives with names like Apollo, Venus and Mercury resplendent in BR Green Livery gleaming in the Sunshine in full view stopped on the bridge..Following construction at Crewe Works, they were transferred to Swindon for detail changes to suit mainline use on the Western Region. Not only that, one after another long freight trains up from South Wales with base materials to fuel the Nation's manufacturing. No end to those. One included a most unusual locomotive up from Wales. I never knew such things existed but, I repeated its number many times in my mind so I would not forget it. That worked ... to this very day. Aged ten, I could not afford the 2/6d ( 12.5 pence decimal ) to buy the Midland Region Ian Allen Locomotive book as well as the Western Region addition. I can still remember that number 47976 ... A Beyer Garratt articulated Locomotive. Those images are still very vividly clear in my memory. Sadly never to be in hard copy or even digital transfer now. One of the penalties for being born poor and permanently skint ..... 😉 On the other hand, I would have excelled at being a millionaire.. 😉
Great days gone forever but never forgotten. ... 😉
Keep the good work coming. Much local to me content appreciated by this life long transport enthusiast.
Oh yes, nearly forgot. Both those preserved Jubilee Class Locomotives Galatea and Leander were a frequent sight in and through Gloucester. Both based at Bristol Midland shed code 22A. Gloucester Midland being 22B. Also sister Jubilee Eire... Lost count of the times I saw them in action..
Move on two decades and my job involved much travel. That included South Wales and the Midlands in my car. One return from Cardiff I took a break for some coffee from my flask in a large lay by on the A40. In that lay by was a low loader trailer without the Tractor Lorry. Just the trailer parked up. On that low loader was a tatty looking Jubilee. Move on another decade and a half and I took my two young sons up to Kidderminster for a Model Railway Exhibition. In the nearby railway sidings, was that same Jubilee. Part of the then SVR.
superb video - takes me back to my apprenticeship days working for a company making steam raising equipment and vacuum braking systems. especially liked the double headers. I have subscribed to catch more of your excellent videos videos.
I love trains! Thanks for this.
You're welcome, I hope you enjoyed it !
Wow! Brilliant photography. This is material that you pay big bucks for on commercial DVDs. Well done and thanks very much for sharing such great clips.
I don't hear any amtrak enthusiast complain about british being slow after this dropped harder than tallboy did on Tirpitz
They probably dont even know pendolinos exist
Oliver Cromwell! So good to see a great Englishman remembered like this!
Commemorating a military dictator.... I'd rather enjoy the Merchant Navy class, Clan Line, commemorating heroism and sacrifice rather than ambition and the quest for personal power.
The Magic of Steam.
Thank you :D
Beautifully done, you guys!
Beautiful sounds
A brief glimpse of "the England that we traded for the internal combustion engine".
This reminds me of the 1948 Locomotive Exchange Trials
Fantastic video. Union of South Africa is stunning.
Cant beat these steam engines . Brilliant.
What can I say..... Awesome. Thanks for putting in the countless hours.
Fabulous collection, bookmarked to show my grandson, well done!
Absolutely superb footage showing all the amateurs who post steam videos how it SHOULD be done!
Not according to a most recent comment, who demands much better, FOR FREE ! Check above.
Such magnificent locomotives!!
Eine Dampflock verkörpert Kraft, Schönheit, Schnelligkeit und Mächtigkeit. Sie ist die verkörperte Schönheit der Technik. Sie verwandelt Kohle und Wasser in Bewegung, Kraft und Schnelligkeit. Was ist dagegen eine E.Lok, die hängt am Draht und wenn sie keinen Strom geliefert bekommt steht sie da. Die Dampflock hat ihr eigense Leben, sie ist eine Persönlichkeit !
Great video i wish we could go back in time to the steam era cheers's bob.
Truly stunning.
Simply Superb !!!
Great railway highlights mate
Thank you so much for this video!!!!
Great video!! I love to see mainline steam flying down the railroad.
Great Cinematography from 13.58 / 14,50.
Superb steam trains one of the best video ever 😀😀
Fabulous - That's all you can say!! Top team and Top filming ... Keep it up - stunning locations ... Epic ...
marvellous film, love those Jubilees. well done you.
There beautiful locomotive's
Priceless footage just brilliant many thanks really enjoyable👍
Love it. 12:01 smoke ring is blown...
Great footage!
As grand as watching the California Zephyr, storming out of the Feather River Canyon in Northern California, back in the day, twas a beautiful train all silver, and streamlined like no other. Would and could do 125 MPH on the flats. Before effin Amtrack!!
Or a NYC Niagara pulling the Century at 100+ MPH. Steam is a spectacle like no other!
That's progress for you !!!
We will never see the likes of it again!! Thank God for memories and YT. I will never forget our glorious past!!
I remember taking the Zephyr in 1998 with my family, Denver to San Francisco. We were 2 days late.
@@nickwildman8327 THe Amtrack era, 1998, I rode the California Zephyr in 1948 when she ran on steam, and again in 1957 when she had a modern diesel streamlined silver engine, when she ran on the flats thru Nevada, she clocked 125 MPH for better than a hundred miles into Salt Lake, Utah. Then in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, She did over a hundred and five MPH for most of the trip, and only slowed down when crossing the Mississippi river, and then into Chicago.It was the ride of a lifetime, My father was an Operating Engineer for Union Pacific, and I got to ride in both engines for several hours each. He was shop steward for that mileage, and new every Engineer on the line. called in a few favors, and they gave me the rides!!
Notice that these locos were actually thundering UP the gradients where most contemporary diesels would begin faltering.
