That's a excellent piece of footage, the whole lot that is. Any young person wanting to film any train's, they should watch this and learn. The person always had the locomotive in view and followed it very steadily. Thank you from Newcastle NSW Australia for sharing this with us.

I was on board. On the way back we were held at Taunton. Every thing was due to a broken rail. Due to water the 47 was put on the front and we eventually were allowed to go and made it back to Bristol, but without any lighting or electric! I want to commend all the stewards who constantly kept us all updated with information and held all our spirits up despite the impending gloom, an excellent job guys and girls. Very well done all, from coach D. There has to be a down side and when we got back we had a call from the police that some scumbag has smashed the windows in the car. That's Bristol!

Or ACDC? Glad to have hit the right the right buttons here Bob. It was "black as a bag" as we say down here until just before the train appeared down the Reign, so that was a lucky shot of the moors in the background and light on the river. Best wishes, Alan

Ten out of ten once again for effort Alan, in bringing this to the table. Sorry to hear you had 'pothole' issues to contend with as if 'holiday traffic' wasn't enough? A thought crossed my mind watching todays video with 'Intercity' stock on show, is the presumably ever reduction of 'certified' suitable rolling stock availability? Have a great week. atvb t ..

RTC are struggling to fill the standard class seats on their steam tours frequented mainly by enthusiasts, because we don't want to travel in a sealed coach, with no sound, smell or atmosphere. What's the point. Not their fault, but WCR

Good morning. The quality of your footage is really impressive. I was wondering what camera you use as i am looking to change my panasonic fz1000 for something with more reliable auto focus. Many thanks.
@Steamclips4 ай бұрын
Hi and thank you for your kind and very much appreciated comment. My main camera is a Panasonic HC-X1E and my second or remote camera is a Panasonic HC-VX980EB-K. Try doing without auto focus, I hardly ever use it on the main camera. Set your focus to infinity at maximum zoom before you begin filming, then as you zoom out during your shot your depth of field increases which brings nearer features into focus. Only use auto focus when light levels are very low. Good luck with your next shot. Best regards, Alan

Come on, Bobby Doo, we see you, pretending to flake and flipper, You're not fooling me, as we can see the way you quake and quiver. Is there something that you lack? Don't hold back, Bobby Doo if you come through, you'll bag yourself a box of Black 5 Snax, that's a fact. We can count on you, Bobby Doo, we hear you happily puffing, And for joy you're chuffing.

That's a new one on me Kelly. All large machines are traditionally referred to in the feminine e.g. "God bless her and all who sail in her" when launching a ship. Probably because large machines historically have men at their beck and call !!
