Steam at Speed On The Mainline - Volume 4

It's that time of year before the main steam season begins, so we once again sit back and enjoy a selection of Steam at Speed in the UK. Filmed across the country, 11 locomotives are seen operating up to the maximum allowed for steam '75mph'.
Best viewed in maximum quality 📽
Foot note:
Diesel locomotives "Tail Gunner"
The use of Diesel locomotives on some tours is because of operational reasons. Some of the tours run to destinations with no turning facilities, so the diesel hauls the train to a location where the steam loco can take over again. They are also used for train heating, assistance on steep gradients(especially during leaf fall season)and are a great help if any problems arise with the steam loco.
Most Diesels used are interesting machines in their own right too, with most of then now over 50 years old, some even 60 years old now.

Thank you so much for explaining in the description why diesels are used.

Wonderful to see so many of these magnificent marvels of engineering doing what they do best. The best statement of human ability and inginuity. Hope to see these engines go on inspiring young people into engineering.

Was this produced in 360p? It’s the highest resolution I seem to be able to watch in.

[@04clemea]

It was rendered in 4K 2160p50, so just waiting for KZbin to catch up with its processing 🙄

[@kipsome45]

Ah ok thanks. Lovely set of clips.

5:40 .... Ah yes, a 444 EMU against a steam loco. Who will win? I bet the drivers must have been very happy.

Amazing vocal duet as well :))

Why are there diesels pushing behind the passenger coaches?
