61306 Mayflower breaks the Sound Barrier: English Riviera Express - 2024

[@johncottee8314]

I don't care but there is nothing, I repeat nothing that can beat the sight and sounds of a steam locomotive at work especially of one at speed, they are magical!

[@CS-hu5be]

Steam boat perhaps? :3

[@neiljosephbennett9119]

It's so good to see youngsters with proper cameras, showing an interest in steam heritage. Gorgeous footage too!

[@Nowheres_Channel]

I mean of course younger people are going to want to see steam heritage. They're beasts out of a diffirent era that they never had the chance to grow up in.

[@songsmith31a]

Mayflower may be the deserved star of this video, but the whole "package" is a delight for the quality of the presentation and the vantage points chosen to display steam action at its best in wonderful South Devon settings. Top stuff in so many ways. Thanks.

[@Tauraco00]

This is where I would love to live...oh my word....and see all the trains! Spectacular! Regards Michelle Elizabeth Lines-Dovey

[@davidwhite3041]

A grand sight and sound, fireman, driver and engine working in unison. Represents the best of the steam era..

[@joefuller8078]

Absolutely fantastic.. so good to see, they really are alive and living ❤

[@johnlunnun9769]

Wonderful what a smashing video! Good bless Mayflower, brave little engines, 12 up !

[@mikeuk4130]

Two fine-looking and hard-working steam locos in a lovely and interesting video. Many thanks indeed.

[@eddiejohn7744]

There are few sounds that bring such pleasure and stir the mind and imagination like a steam engine

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

Nice to see D1935 out and about keeping an eye out on that liability up front.

[@mrowl-the-dsm1304]

You have done an excellent job with this video, ALL of it. Nice locations, and you have captured the very essence of the who area, and the lovely Mayflower

[@JR-SCOOT]

Superb video, well done.

[@GraceBurton-qm8jj]

This is so lovely and the scenery as well I like it all.😊

[@DanWest-i7y]

Those were the days.

[@notch8rail]

Good to see Mayflower back in steam. I was a little worried seeing it almost left abandoned in Bishops Lydeard for a good few months

[@railsandrollercoasters]

Do you get different people at different locations to film or do you just chase after it?

[@railsandrollercoasters]

Also I think I saw you at Churston btw

[@notch8rail]

@@railsandrollercoasters I wasn’t recording 😂

[@railsandrollercoasters]

@@notch8rail oh I replied to the wrong message sorry 🤣🤣🤣

[@dj_efk]

Proof that a rake of blood and custard mk1s suits just about any livery on the locomotive.

[@RossChesterton-df8tr]

The concord was the first passenger plane to brake the sound barrier

[@Roy-gi5ul]

I love the crisp beat of a B1 worked hard, but that pathetic whistle cracks me up !

[@simonwhitlock9189]

Thank you.

[@eisenbahntraeumer]

Great job!

[@DocterGeko]

You tell those Western 2-8-0s where built for heavy coal trains by the way it give 0 f's with the climb out of Kingswear.

[@StaxRail]

Might want to check Goliath's number again, its 5239 haha!

[@railsandrollercoasters]

I attempted to chase it from Newton Abbot to Goodrington, then Churston, however due to traffic lights I ended up missing it by half a minute

[@A_Calm_K2]

Daaammmnnnn mayflower could use some oiling up in the joints

[@JamesHarris-xi4lv]

Oil up 💀💀💀

[@nathantew946]

Even know it’s wrong part of the country the B1 looks ridiculously at home.

[@wolfexpress5577]

Rq you claim to say it’s 5237 when it’s actually 5239 because if I’m not wrong 5237 was scrapped

[@DanWest-i7y]

A 750/mile /hour engine ???

[@bluebear6570]

A reminder of the days when Britain deserved the "Great" in its name! A great nation, built upon the blood, sweat and tears of hard-working people, now being overrun by parasites!

[@gregoryclark8217]

Yeah, too many Tories lining their pockets at the public's expense. Plenty voted out but not before they pilfered the treasury.

[@bobcannell7603]

Sorry, the Great means big Britain compared to Brittany which is little Britain

[@bobcannell7603]

In steam days Mayflower which didn't have a name then, B1s weren't named, was a Bradford loco. Lots of pics of 61306 at Low Moor depot. Amazing survivor.

[@james426able1]

That's probably only because theirs a diesel on the rear helping the old girl along

[@FlyingForFunTrecanair]

The diesel on the back is not pushing. It is there (correct spelling) to provide assistance should it be needed but, on a more practical note, it provides AC power for the rolling stock and kitchen car.

[@sebastianchangco5707]

It’s also there to provide internet to passengers.

[@TheSonic10160]

@@FlyingForFunTrecanair In the second clip it's definitely helping up the hill, not so much to detract from the hard work the B1's putting in, but so it can actually get up the hill with that massive train

[@martinchamberlain542]

I was an LNER trainspotter back in the ancient days, I cannot remember a B1 with twelve on. This is a very heavy train, so I would expect the grumbler on the back to give a little shove here and there. Thankyou for a lovely film!

[@TheSonic10160]

@@martinchamberlain542 Good to still have some oldies around that were there

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

.Nice video. Like me.

[@BIGV710]

61306 was not named in BR days only in preservation so its a false name

[@seankaiser2505]

I want to put a deep, bellowing American five-chime whistle on it.

[@gregoryclark8217]

That would ruin it

[@YoLo-bb2vc]

urm what! a steam train somehow managed to go 767.2 mph? my god the clickbait of this video not even the modern electric trains can go 767 mph the fastest may actually breach half that on aa good section of track which would be is max speed

[@hectorchittenden9749]

Hold on… Were you really thinking, just for a second, that a steam train could legitimately the break sound barrier and thus clicked on this video 😂😂 I think it is a metaphor for the speed and microphone breaking sound the locomotive is making.

[@YoLo-bb2vc]

@@hectorchittenden9749 no you bleeding numpty i dont think this! you clearly missed that i was being a sarky PoS made more evident that you commented but may not have read or understood what you read.
