A Jubilee,maroon coaches,semaphore signals and the Derbyshire Dales. Doesn't get much better than that.

Thanks Liam and Phil for these superb captures. Thoroughly enjoyable to see and hear Galatea going so well in such dramatic and atmospheric settings. Kind regards, Bob.

Fantastic video there! I must say, that 3 cylinder beat of ‘Galatea’ is superb! Very well captured inspite of the weather!

[@robmasterman]

Another Masterpiece from you and Phil Liam...what a performer Galatea has become.

Well done Phil, I was a Shunter at Stoke Gifford then Penzance, and then back to Bath Rd as a Guard, loved every minute except the early hour turns. Enjoy your retirement. Regards Chris.

The last time I saw her was at Carnforth in 1985 with the wheel's under the firebox torched. I am glad that she has returned to service. 🖒

Fantastic video Liam and Phil. Superb performance by Galatea. You captured her at brilliant locations. Full of action with plenty of exhaust. Outstanding. Kind regards C&A

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@thunderchild21]

Great video mate. Just a quick question, the footage from 3:35, is that heading towards Sheffield or Manchester. Thanks

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Cheers Jeff, this sequence shows Galatea tackling the long 1/100 climb through Edale in the direction of Manchester.

[@Narainseshadri1947]

Is there a rising gradient at 1.07 to 1.18. Despite acceleration the train seems to be slow.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

No, it's pretty flat. The rails were pretty wet due to the poor weather and loco had just come off the sidings after being delayed.
