75014 'Braveheart' Tackles The 1/45 To Ipstones Loop - Churnet Valley Railway

[@ph4ntomtr4in]

Braveheart truly is amazing. I remember seeing the locomotive at the Dartmouth Steam Railway and being taken aback at how rugged, neat and strong it appeared.

[@hamshackleton]

When you get those long-shots along the tracks, it emphasizes just how rough and uneven some sections are.

Cannot wait until their Pendennis Castle at 100 steam gala. In May, I might end up going to the CVR several times to see 4079 before the gala

Excellent footage there Liam and Phil, off the Standard 4 working hard, superb sound

[@djukin1016]

Great video and sounded magnificent. Thanks for sharing and greeting from Geraldton, Western Australia.

We really miss Braveheart. Hope it returns soon.

A great show put on by Braveheart. Very good firing considering she was feathering at the Safeties most of the way.

[@SimonTog]

Wonderful video, and great sound :)

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Wonderful captures there, love steam power! Thanks for sharing with us all! (Dave).

[@EMuksteam]

Excellent video Liam and Phil. Brilliantly capture from different angles. Great sounds of the loco . Enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A

[@robinnicholson4009]

Very inspiring. I wonder how much packing goes on by the Permanent Way team ?? I work on this with the Nene Valley railway

[@AndreiTupolev]

That's a very good show with load 6 bearing in mind it's a class 4.

[@grahamrowntree5573]

Wow! I don't know how long the line is, but that was 8 mins 21 secs of uphill all the way. Well done the both of you for filming at numerous locations.

[@markwelsh3957]

I didn't think it would have any problem here, it's so used to Goodrington and Churston banks that it wouldn't have issues anywhere else. However the rails were dry here, it would be interesting to see how it does in the wet. I hadn't even noticed it was missing from Churston shed a few days ago! Lovely to see other people enjoying it.

[@Tobys_Trains]

Heya! Awesome video! Was just wondering, since pendennis is going up the gradient in may, do you have any directions or tips on how to get to these locations? Thanks, Toby’s Trains :)

[@MrHucklow]

brilliant, well done.

Music to my ears.

5:42 : Magnificent!

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Looks like braveheart has ventured out to staffordshire

[@terrier_productions]

Yes. She staying at the CVR until their Pendennis Castle 100 gala in May. Pendennis herself is staying at the CVR until throughout May.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

@@terrier_productionsah yeah that loco is now doing its centenary celebrations just like its rival the flying Scotsman last season

[@terrier_productions]

one thing I also noted back in January is that 2024 marks the centenary of the British Empire Exhbition which both 4472 (then 1472) & 4079 took part in@@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329

영상이 아주 멋있습니다. 대박 났습니다.😅❤😂

[@Merchello]

What camera do you use because I’ve been looking for a good camera for quite a while

[@ElizabethMcDermott-cy4cv]

Thats a good name. That was the name of our little car. Do they still do a cream tea halfway round? Everything changed after pandemic. Looking at our old days out

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Yes, they still do the cream tea trains, along with Sunday Dinner

[@ElizabethMcDermott-cy4cv]

Nice video, Like😁!🤩!😍

We have a hill over here in the colonies that is 1/20 660 feet long and with a train of coal louries 4,400 tons it would take two 2-8-2 mikados on the head end and two 2-8-8-2 mallet pushers to get the train up the hill at 15 mph, it is currently abandoned but before so it took 4 3000 hp diesels on the leade and 4 on the tail to do the same , and the grade was frightening, there is a run off track at the bottom incase there was a run away it was inevitable, before they constructed it there were many wrecks, and passenger trains much like this one plied the rails 3 coaches maximum and two 4-6-2 pacifics. I am so amazed at the 4-6-0 locos you have with the giant drivers with the tiny fulcrum , you must be using very thick decks to bring the adhesion up to even the small amount of slippage you have. Even the heaviest of 4-6-2s in our liveries would have happily worn their tires to the hub with that 1/45 slope and yet your locos handle it with aplomb. BRAVO, BRAVO.
