60163 'Tornado' Shatters The Long Drag At 50mph+ (The Pennine Explorer)

[@SS-zz4pi]

This is perfection. The glorious countryside and birdsong, the sheer power and beauty of the engines, and the billowing ribbons of white steam stretching away into wisps. Thank you for posting!

[@robertcharlessceats3647]

What a fantastic and delightful sight to see these iconic steam locomotives hauling 13 carriages at a fair lick without the need for a diesel on the tail. Great stuff. More of the same please.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Cheers Robert, more the same would be ideal for us, but scenes like this are not always possible.

Thanks for sharing,magnificent machines. Have a soft spot for the Bullied Merchant Navy.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

And great to see 35018 out and about on the mainline too

[@paleriksson3345]

Sure do enjoy. Especially appreciate sceneries and the slow tempo of camera movements, and holding the cam still; not twisting it after the loco all the time.Thanks!

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thanks very much, we try to keep the tripods and stable and slow as possible, but its not always possible. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment.

[@AndreiTupolev]

What an awesome sight that is at Kirkby Stephen. That'd make a magnificent promotional shot for the A1SLT.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Indeed, Andrei. The A1SLT are welcome to any of my material.

[@pedantik]

"Thanks for Watching " ? no, more thanks to Marsh Steam Video's for posting this amazing clip. Beautiful steam locomotives doing what they were designed for & handled by excellent crews. I cannot believe that 5 people (at the time of commenting) did not like this.

[@pauljones401]

Just a great film! Thanks for putting in the scenery too. Everything was stunning 👍👍👍

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Cheers Paul, you cant not put the scenery in, as you're completely surrounded by it. Its such a fantastic part of the UK and even better with a railway running through it !

[@thebear3178]

Perfection personified!

[@rogerwhittle2078]

I was trying to explain to an American, we Brits attitude to steam engines. I explained we are almost fanatical about preserving them and teams of people have, for decades, worked slavishly to resurrect what amounts to a pile of rusty scrap. We have actually built new ones! We raise actual millions of pounds, the work goes on through the age of a properly grown up person, until a gleaming green (usually green) machine of great beauty rolls slowly out of a shed somewhere and a million people take pictures. Then we put as many coaches as we can behind them, point them at the steepest, most challenging gradients in the country and then thrash the life out of them!! He couldn't really see it.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

He couldn't see it but thankfully there is many others that can see it, otherwise this video would not be possible !

[@kohedunn]

The romance of a steam train cannot be beaten....So much history and intrigue are at play ...Think Agatha Cristie , and the "Orient Express".... the Pullman cars .. the corridors...No modern speed train ( Japanese) can give you the same shiver up your spine the way our British trains can... They are almost a living entity ...To me anyway...

[@magic1ond]

Superb,thanks for sharing .

[@andrewsimkins8780]

Many thanks for making the effort to capture and share this. Two very impressive performances. Credit to the loco owners, maintenance people, the support crews and of course, the driver and fireman. Good Job!!! 👍👍

An amazing modern step back in time with all that beautiful scenery well filmed. Great video.🇬🇧

[@billmmckelvie5188]

Thanks for the excellent video of Tornado pounding the rails of Yorkshire's equivalent of Constable country. It is graphically summarised in a thumbnail that looks as if it has been pulled from the easel of the late Terence Cuneo!

[@SecondValveSteam]

Sensational video Phil and Liam. Spellbound by that shot at Kirkby Stephen. I was at York, Northallerton and Durham for this trip. 60163 certainly gave it plenty of welly yesterday! Kind regards. Cameron

[@TheStephengthompson]

Great stuff Liam and Phil , looked like 60163 was after the Blue Riband record held by Duchess of Hamilton back in 93 although if Tornado didn’t stop at Appleby it wouldn’t count I suppose 👍

[@struck2soon]

Great footage! I suppose the only benefit of this ‘Miserable May’ (coldest I can remember) is that it produces some nice visual exhaust effects...

[@MrPaulfrazer]

And you can see the steam from the heating escaping between the coaches. Very iconic

[@iancharlesbailey1666]

Thanks guys for this superb film. Watching it has really made my day!

WOW, stunning performance from Tornado today, i caught it at waitby and the roar was tremendous, did it break the record over the S&C, i wonder, cheers .

[@wernerdanler2742]

On the very first shot there was steam coming out between two of the carriages. I guess they stopped somewhere and reconnected the line. Oh no, no brakes! England is so beautiful and green. Here in Las Vegas the only green we see is artificial turf. Lol They could use that locomotive to herd sheep. Seems to scare the heck out of them. Lol

[@DanM012324]

I think all mainline steam engines in the UK are required to have updated air vacuum brakes, the steam you see coming from the carriages is probably the heating (uses steam). We’ve had a wet and cold May over here.

[@tomhind266d6]

I was a fireman at carlisle and worked on that midland line for years the secnery was spectacular all the way up to bleamoor and down into settle winter or summer oh that steam was from the carage heater must have been a bad conection or the heater bag was fualty

[@garykuiken6191]

Fabulous video, great locations, can never get enough. Looking forward to many more.

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

Ah yes, this day was so annoying for me. Not only did I fall in a river on Ingleborough and forget to get off at Hellifield to film Tornado's shunting, but then I missed her going light engine past my house! I still managed to see a pair of 47s at my local station though, so it wasn't all bad.

[@peterburrell1238]

Superb video from stunning locations! Especially like those at Kirkby Stephen station, having stayed in the self-catering accommodation on the station over four years. Excellent location for a holiday, especially with the occasional; steam special passing your bedroom window!

[@russ3069]

GREAT VIDEO, AS ALWAYS LADS. SHAME ABOUT THE WEATHER THOUGH.

[@edmundcarew7235]

The effort you put into scene composure is great. At 2:45, having showcased the small viaduct that's beautifully built, you pan back to show us what may be a stile. (Sorry, I'm not English). Despite less than stellar weather, your video - not too long - was as usual splendid. I hope you and others who take time out of your days to travel and record these are suitably compensated by Google's KZbin via advertising revenue shares.

[@finlayfraser9952]

The Merchant Navy has noticeably different exhaust beat to the A1??

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Correct, easily identifiable to a southern purist !

[@andrewstahle81]

I never imagined Tornado a1 being that strong of a British steam engine.

[@davidbailey533]

Amazing performance from both locos especially B.I.L with 13 as well Tornado could probably have taken more such is the power of the beast

[@TheRoarinSpitty]

Is Tornado back to 75mph runs on mainline?

[@18EStudios]

Yeah. From what I read, the A1 Trust said they'll only do 90mph runs if they are asked to for special occasions and such (Like what happened with Bittern back in 2013).

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

The locomotive is passed for 90 but is unlikely to run at those speeds for the time being. There's nothing to stop them from running into the high 70's and low 80's if necessary.

[@lukechan9657]

🚂good video 👍

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Many thanks!

[@robinnicholson4009]

Good to watch. It says ' shatter' How come?

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

The gradient of the railway was shattered by the power of 'Tornado' its just an enthusiast saying, nothing was shattered in reality !

[@olegshikan8020]

Klugele!

[@chrisangove8997]

Yep Tornado definitely frighted more sheep!

[@exb.r.buckeyeman845]

White smoke and steam heated coaches.

[@jppicur]

What is the gradient and how heavy is a 13-coach train?

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

1/100 and the weight is about 500+ tonnes !

[@TheMrduuk]

13 coaches no loco support in this modern age and mk1 coaches brill and hauled by best loco on br

[@furiousgamer9522]

No hate but you go up the long drag from the settle direction, the train came from the Carlisle direction. Great vid👍🏻

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

The Long Drag is considered 'both ways' by steam crews past and present, as both climbs are 15 miles in length, the Southbound climb actually begins at Petteril Junction and is a consistent climb all the way to Ais Gill, the Long Drag southbound starts just before Ormside. Thanks for the thumbs up !

[@MaminakaMrpaperbag]

A British steam engine? Who can pull a train of 13 coaches without a diesel at the back? What year was this engine built?

[@voidjavelin23]

the first peppercorn A1 class batches were build in 1994, the last peppeprcorn has been scrapped on 1966. And then tornado being the next and newest member of the peppercorn family. Tornado has been built from scratch on 2008 by the A1 steam locomotive trust

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Tornado should haul 15 coaches

[@eveannwallis4939]

I wonder if the crew of the MN was really trying or not?, obviously the A1 crew were.As much depends on the crew for a great performance, as does the condition of the loco on the day....... Whatever I like both locos, but I admit to being slightly more of a Bulleid fan, than a Peppercorn fan.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Look at the difference in the weather should answer your question as to whether the crew 35018 were really trying, with 13 on in the rain

Six diesels ‘disliked’ this video

[@joscallinet6260]

These are really top-echelon steam-train videos, highly professionally shot from great vantage points. I HAVE ONE ISSUE with them - and that is, why is the SOUND still being recorded in MONAURAL? Nearly every 4K-resolution video camera made today has the ability to record the audio portion of the video in STEREOPHONIC SOUND. Adding stereo audio to the mix would greatly enhance the already-dramatic sense of 'being there.' In 2021, monaural sound is truly antiquated; it belongs in a museum alongside 78-R.P.M. records played on a wind-up Victrola phonograph. In the future, if at all possible, could your film staff please record these superb steam trains using a wide-dynamic-range stereophonic microphone equipped with a wind screen? If you need financial support to obtain such a microphone, I for one would gladly contribute toward its cost. Thank you!

[@AndreiTupolev]

Film staff? I think most of these are just one or at most two people. These aren't professional companies

[@joscallinet6260]

@@AndreiTupolevThank you, Andrei. Your explanation goes a long way toward understanding why the sound is recorded monaurally - these people are very likely using technologically obsolete yet still optically excellent camera gear. I am grateful that they're willing to make the effort to get out in the field and capture the drama of these fine old trains. The sound is okay, even if it's mono. We get to see and hear these trains, and that's what counts.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Jos, If you could provide me some examples of steam train videos in STEREOPHONIC audio I may be able to begin to understand your preference. As Andrei said above, there is only the two of us and we don't claim to be professionals. Thanks for your positive feedback. Regards

[@joscallinet6260]

@@MarshSteamVideosTM Hi, I have found from doing a search on Google four examples of stereophonic sound, as applied to railway videos. 1) a video recording of electric suburban railway trains in the U.K., with the emphasis on the stereo sound (best heard over a decent pair of headphones) . Wish they'd done it instead with one of the trains you videoed! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGnGfoConM-BsLc 2) a video, again emphasizing the stereo sound, of a tourist railway in Sweden _ good sound, but STUPIDLY overlaid with music - how DUMB! Still worth a look. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6CUipWfedWjhas 3) a SOUND-ONLY recording made back in 1958 of steam locomotives in action, somewhere in the U.S. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5bYfXSod6acfKs NO VIDEO. You do, however, get a good sense of 'being there' with the audio recorded in stereo. 4) From DULEVOZ, a Serbian train-engineer/driver AND videographer, a video recorded in 2160-P 4k and stereo sound, of the train-driver's view of a run from Vršac - Pančevo - Beograd Center kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5LQiIqdea93qs0 . Taken together, these four links give an idea of what today's high-resolution 4K 2160-P video cameras fitted with good stereophonic microphones can do.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

@@joscallinet6260 I now know the microphones which are used to provide Stereophonic sound, as i have looked at them for my cameras before. Unfortunately neither are compatible with my consumer standard cameras. For the time being there is no real need to upgrade as complaints for this issue are at (two) There is another microphone which I'm looking at which I believe would provide Sterephonic sound but it's rather expensive. I appreciate the links you've provided and your general feedback.

That is the standard LNER whistle. Scotsman has the same squeaky whistle, but Tornado also has a chime whistle as well.
