- Another one for the Steam Enthusiast,This Video was first produced in 1993 on VHS, it shows 70000 "Britannia" and 71000 "Duck of Gloucester" working trains between Bishops Stortford and Ely. Thanks to Ron Fisher for help with this production.
21:59 looks like 70000 Britannia is making an impatient departure from Ely
10:00 look at that Roy the whistle is stuck open on Britannia
18:43 I like the way these two locos greet each other with a whistle
My haven't camcorders changed a bit... so many on shoulder cameras in this video - not on classic railtour video, but retro video gear as well - love it
Yes being able to just take your phone out of your pocket and video something is so taken for granted by young people of today.
@@Robert_Manners I can remember watching someone video a parade in my old town. They had this big box on his hip with a shoulder strap, connected to a large camera by a long curly wire... From that day on I wanted to get into making films or video... but it was 15 years later before I got my first sony camcorder costing well over £1000 !
Glad you enjoyed it Malcolm, No Phones to be seen anywhere,
@@MalcolmCrabbe I used to hire one for a couple of weeks once a year until I could afford one of my own. That was a Sony and cost something like £900. I've still got it, packet in a box somewhere in the loft.
As the Traction Inspector I spent nearly all my time on Brittania thanks for the memories, As we were taken off due to causing lineside fires the support crew worked throughout the night so we were back in service next day
Just got a black screen with sound Roy. Strange 🤔
Try again. Mine is working now
Brilliant thanks mate. Was probably still processing 👍🏻
What a fantastic video, thanks for sharing.
Cheers
That really was a splendid weekend. Can you imagine Network Rail and / or Greater Anglia organising an event like that now? As I remember, you covered the northern part of the line and I did the southern part. But where we drew the dividing line I can't remember. It's possible that I might, just might, still have my original tapes. If I have, and I can find them and they are still playable, I'll be able to find out.
Yes that's right Ron, my shots are around Ely and just a few miles south and yours were around the Stansted area.
Oooh this is lovely footage! So what was the deal, were these one-off railtours or semi-regular workings?
Just a Special Weekend of steam organised by Network Southeast.
Didn't Gordon's whistle get stuck on in Thomas the Tank Engine? 🤣
I think your right Ben, this proves those things happen in real life.
That takes me back. I'm a bit tied up with other matters at the moment, but I've given it a thumbs up and will watch it properly next week.
Hope you enjoy watching it again when you have time Ron.
Great video Roy. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
My mate has managed to watch it on his Apple but he said the ad at the beginning stuck at first. Is there an ad? Any way connected through my tv and it played so got to watch the film. Great film. Still not able to watch it on my tablet though 😁
Sorry you still have problems Roly but I do not have adverts on any of my videos, I do not receive any money from Google so the fault must be on your computer.
@@royharrison4122 it's sorted now. Just wondering if it was anything to do with channel 4 and 5 going off earlier. Anyway all sorted. Good film
@@rolymier8659 Glad you have got it sorted Roly
Very nice video, Roy. I love these little bits back in time.
You and me both!
Just a black screen with sound ?
Must be a fault your end Roly, I have checked and everything is fine.
@@royharrison4122 strange. No issues with any of your other films. Tried it on a mates tablet and says no stream
