6201 'Princess Elizabeth' Thunders Over Ais Gill On The Dalesman (2019)

[@HighballTrains]

Really nice to see KZbin videos done by a shooter who actually has a clue! Well done!

[@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf]

What an outstanding display of raw power from the Lizzie!

[@PedroConejo1939]

4:22 (freeze frame) - the perfect poster loco for the 1930s.

[@petersaunders6153]

Great footage, esp. with Wild Boar Fell in the background!

[@cachinnans]

That's absolutely stunning Liam. Love the way you captured the drama at Appleby.

[@richardarculus4279]

thank you for posting this; and showing us the discussions around the watering problem at Appleby

[@JakeBSteam]

Fantastic video, rare moment at Appleby. Regards Jake.

[@zennor_man]

"Lizzie" sweeps all before her.....superb vid..thanks.

[@jamesconnor4302]

I absolutely adore this loco! She is so exquisite!!

[@deslynnsporne8684]

Absolutely stunning scenery.

[@rjas365]

Brilliant action shots, Liam and Phil, with 6201 really performing and the earlier sequences tell an interesting story. Kind regards, Bob.

[@Falkirion]

Good to see semaphores are still in use somewhere in the world. They've pretty much disappeared from Melbourne's rail network here in Australia. Gorgeous loco too, love seeing the old steam engines roaring along

[@AndreiTupolev]

That's a stunning shot at Ais Gill though

[@KenBrownekb71000duke]

Great to see Lizzie back and in fine fettle Liam on what turned out to be an eventful day. Well captured on a highly unusual trip and Lizzie did a great job powering up and over Ais Gill - the 4 cylinder power was put to good use by the footplate crew, despite any other setbacks. Thanks. Ken

[@austinyingst5902]

Lanky, attractive loco and handsome train in great scenes; great video. Thanks.

[@sam8alex12]

Just Beautiful to watch , Thanks

[@EMuksteam]

Brilliant video Liam and Phil. Nice to see Lizzie back on main line. Well done for getting these after a eventful day. Last clip was superb. Kind regards C&A

[@JohnSmith-pd1fz]

Fantastic scenery in all respects.

[@johnwells7001]

Great effort with that load......superbly handled.....congrats all round.

[@Benthenewbie414]

*phew* It's a good thing to see the locomotive still in operation. I was actually worried that this train was scrapped at first D:

[@CherrhamJunction]

Great choices of locations and well filmed. Good to see her back!

[@patthewoodboy]

My Father built this Loco for our model railway from a Triang/Hornby CKD kit , its was in british rail green ... glad its still running in real life :-)

[@tomholz9928]

Excellent sound and video! Thanks from Chicago Illinois!

[@Guard_Amos]

Fantastic stuff. Good to see her back on the mainline

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Excellent video footage Liam especially seeing Lizzie accelerating up the hill

[@suesmith3744]

Stunning as always Liam , Thank you ☺️ 🚂💕

[@JulianThurgood]

Superb footage - and interesting to witness the events at Appleby. It was frustrating being at Carlisle watching nothing happening on realtimetrains and wondering if the train would ever turn up!.

[@SD1922]

Superb!!! Thanks again for your efforts.

[@rogerredding5269]

Great video of lizzie on the S & C. A beautiful looking loco 🙂 a very capable machine in the hands of a very good footplate crew? love the settle Carlisle line for it's stunning scenic route and moody weather conditions brilliant , thanks for sharing.

[@antman09ful1]

Very enjoyable video Liam.

[@marty6779]

I don't know what it is, but this engine just has an aura to it that not even Scotsman has... beautiful thing.

[@Bruno.Trains]

thank you for posting Video !!

[@robmasterman]

An eventful run Liam, but as always you both captured some stunning footage especially the climb up to Ais Gill summit .

[@paulnash1810]

Nice video as usual Liam, nice shots of QE at speed.

[@tangatoto362]

Watch from far away in Australia, I really envy all you UK railway enthusiasts for being able to see these magnificent machines in such stunning settings. I would love to know why so many of these historic locos in the UK have such woeful whistles, even Tornado sounds like my old kettle.....great video regardless..

[@royfearn4345]

Not just steamers. Have you heard a Deltic horn? The LMS Caledonian hooter was chosen, as in many other railways, by panel or committee intended not to show bias when many companies amalgamated in 1923 to form the big four. It was felt the Caley had the most melodious sound, carrying power and dignitas.

[@animaltvi]

Think they are more discreet and have a certain haunting sound. Not just brash loud and annoying and used every 10 secs like certain other countries. .

[@MrFoxy1951]

Very impressive - safety valves lifted as well!!

[@PhilPage227]

Excellent video, expertly filmed.

[@stephenharrison645]

Top notch firing on way up to Ais Gill. Kudos to the crew!

[@jimusgrimus]

Kudo's to those great men who mine the coal............

[@markturner4219]

Actually with the safety valves lidting like that - and apparently for so long it's anything but top notch. Over enthusiastic and inaccurate would be best description. Wasteful of coal and reduces useable steam pressure for the engine at a time she needs it most.

[@kylemacleod4828]

I love this engine but does anyone mind telling me why it doesn't have smoke deflectors?

[@mountainrover]

great video, so clear. the end still would make a great jigsaw

[@Chuck59ish]

Queen Elizabeth should use this engine this summer when she goes to Windsor.

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

nice video bro

[@adrian.debeauvais5911]

Beautiful photography landscape I'm familiar with !!! Made even lovelier by the addition of one of sir William stanier's locomotives. I think and ive had the good fortune to see many types , that this class of locomotive is the loveliest of creation even the great artist of painting them C Hamilton Ellis States so in his lovely old book " The splendour of Steam" .These locomotives are mechanical perfection and of all I think emotive of absolute steam power, exceptions been Sir Nigel Gresley Pacific and so forth. By the way does anybody know the actual water consumption rate and firing method on this type And was the water tanker at last available for the princess. I hope this availability of water can be rectified as we see more steam traction making a comeback due to marvellous preservation societies. Wish they had never removed the water cranes and like one comment on here nice to see semaphore signals. As a keen student of railway signal systems I still maintain they are far more advantageous over modern light aspect systems because you immediately look at their positions I think more visual. I'm writing to network rail to hope that they can keep the ones we have in place on modern system. Thanks for a great visual and audio production that was well made 👍

[@tristansmithrailwayphotogr2730]

Great video

[@thelongdrag9188]

Regarding the Appleby saga, what you could do is insert a succession of 2 second freeze-frame shots of the locomotive being moved over to the other track and the various goings-on in that lengthy period - thus compressed into no more than 20 seconds of time - and that would confer a nice sense of continuity before resuming the video for the ongoing journey.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

It was considered but it was too long. I also wanted to get the departure shot and I wasn't sure how to find the location and I only had a limited time window.

[@EastStander091]

Magnificent

[@geoffreyking1634]

Never seen her ,seen her sister Maggie Rose powerful ladies they are

[@SimonTog]

Super great :)

[@jameshardy4354]

Is she now a carnforth locomotive thanks or don't we know

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Nope, they finished of the work which was needed on the locomotive and they will now use 6201 on their trips free of charge.

[@jameshardy4354]

@@MarshSteamVideosTM is she going to be based at carnforth or go back to butterly thanks

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

@@jameshardy4354 Not really sure at the moment.

[@AndreiTupolev]

So who made that planning decision then? Didn't someone ask the tanker to wait until it was confirmed that it wouldn't be needed? I'm afraid that's another bad decision that'll be chalked up to WC Rail

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

The late running was down to a Network Rail signalling issue, so I'm sure WCR won't get too much flak !

[@AndreiTupolev]

@@MarshSteamVideosTM The late runninh yes, but the organisation of the water stop. Why send the tanker away before they were sure it wouldn't be needed? That sounds like bad planning

[@williamwoolhouse3702]

It is A Royal Lady,s prerogative to be late.

[@roberttaylor6075]

How come some engines seem to struggle on Ais Gill and others just seem to almost come to a stop, this engine did not even look like it was slowing and just thundered up yet on another video the A4 class seemed to crawl up. But whatever steam trains are just on another level to me even over these super fast French and Japanese trains, steam trains are are like humans they wake up slow they need to warm up stretch out and have a nice drink of boiling water then on there way a few tea breaks then off again just amazing kit.

[@animaltvi]

Probably in part down to the crew keeping the boiler pressure up . . Almost sounds like I know what I'm on about. Havnt a clue just a guess.

[@thomaswykes3647]

90 tons of thunder!

[@inyobill]

FOUR cylinder, according to Wikipedia?

[@Fishfingers232]

The valve gears look very GWR-ish.

[@andrewhanlon4853]

Sir William Stanier who designed the LMS Pacifics came from the GWS.

[@patthewoodboy]

PS they are making her work hard with 13 carriages

[@welsh_Witch]

Not gonna lie a bit of a down grade from the royal train but still one hell of a show
