LMS 44871 & 45407 Flatten Shap on The WCME 26/1/13

[@bkendlerA4]

That Phil was a work of art. The 1st clip on Shap, the use of the low wintry sun gave it a black and white feel. Absolutely stunning. Thanks for that. Barry

[@SEPK09]

TOTALLY Stunning.

[@pistonvalve]

Great filming in great conditions, i was in the support coach and at sometime on 44871 and i can assure you the 47 was never asked for once, the 5s performed magnificantly all day long, regards, stuart.

[@bjwlancashire]

Fabulous video in a wonderful setting, well done. You cant beat the Northern fells for scenery and drama with steam. Your film "Steam in The Northern Hills Winter 2012" is a perfect example of this, a wonderful collection.

[@TheDoodyman1]

Stunning photography and incredible sounds there, Phil. The lighting on the first shot approaching Shap was awesome. This has to be one of my all-time favourites. Thanks very much for sharing...regards...Frank.

[@apachenoise54]

Even by your own very high standards Phil this is a wonderful piece of film. Even my wife asked me to say how much she enjoyed watching. The locos looked magnificent. Thank you for sharing. Regards Dale

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

The monochrome of the snow, huge cloud banks and double exhaust in the stillness of winter sunshine was stunning!

[@Sowerbylads]

Superb video! Pity we couldn't get out because of the snow till mid morning. Too late by then to set off. Thanks for making the effort and sharing these wonderful images on you tube. Regards, John.

[@robertrichards9064]

What a fantastic video, glad you made it to Shap so we can all enjoy your shots,

[@delbydoo]

Great stuff Phil. Four superb shots up there in your winter wonderland. Loved the side on glint in the first shot. What a show!!.All the best...Tim.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Well, conditions to die for. Top notch performance too, since it looked as though the 47 was on the back just for heating.

[@MrOldmeg]

Thanks for posting your excellent video's throughly enjoyed watching them.

[@sattenstall]

absolutely superb,thanks very much,lucky you 2 shots of shap must have had some help!!!

[@rab4472]

Excellent footage Phil & team. Great performance from Mr Riley's duo and crews Can't believe how good the conditions were after all the dire forecasts regards Mike

[@EASYTIGER10]

Love the shots of the diesel looking a bit fed up as it's dragged along at the end of the train. If it had arms, they'd be folded...

[@981smithy]

Thanks very much for watching and I appreciate your comment. Regards Phil.

[@jackoates6418]

EASYTIGER10 Great comment 😂

[@eddywilliams6212]

fantastic video, i like your shooting locations and the sound of the engines working hard is very clear.

[@wooltman]

I watched this video after your part 2,that was really good but this one is AMAZING,well done.Chris.

[@acw71000]

Wonderful Phil, conditions couldn't have been better for this run and coupled with your usual fine camerawork makes for a superb video

I really don't know why YT has just offered me this video, but I'm damn glad it did, SUPERB WORK (sorry about the five years late) ;-)

[@TheStephengthompson]

Excellent stuff from you and Mark , love the sun glinting on the locos in the first two shots .

[@woodlandsteve]

Nothing short of Fantastic, thanks for sharing

[@rclass707]

Great stuff, being down here in Australia and not in a position to go to the UK your video's bring all those great loco's into my home.

[@981smithy]

Many thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoy the videos down under. All the best.......Phil.

[@AlexMetroman]

Fantastic stuff, that last shot was just spectacular!

[@mamodfan]

Brilliant Video, very very nice indeed! Thumbs up & right into my favourites playlist :-)

[@steamdriver12]

Superb footage Phil from all locations with perfect light and exhaust, well done. At least the trains were still running this morning, otherwise we wouldn't have come out either. Steve & Graham

[@portobellotent]

Superb in every way! Thanks for making and showing! (Must have been freezing)

[@KenBrownekb71000duke]

Great work Phil in near perfect conditions for lighting and smoke! Thanks. Ken

[@7rorre]

Brilliant footage filmed in less than ideal conditions. How many cameras did you use to record all those locations?

[@merlinwizarddog]

as usual a excellent shots, like the low sun and your sound seems to be of a higher quality this year - are you doing anything different? Randy

[@981smithy]

Thank you very much for your kind words they are very much appreciated. Regards Phil,

A really awesome video! Thank you very much for sharing! Great job!

[@stewarthughesstewart]

Fantastic footage. Is the Class 47 pushing? Stewart

[@981smithy]

Thanks for watching and the 47 was only on the rear for extra heating for the carriages.

[@AndyDandanFisherSteam]

Fantastic. I so much wanted to get up there to see this one. Why do families get in the way? !!

[@Vajra_Bodhi]

Setting a cracking pace. Nice vid. Thanks a lot.

[@tpickthall]

Awesome footage. Thanks for sharing!

[@981smithy]

Thanks Dave your comment is much appreciated. Cheers Phil.

[@exb.r.buckeyeman845]

Well, that was one of the very best steam shots i've seen. I hope the 47 on the tail was for shunting purposes at the destination, don't think it's for ETH heating, as Mk1 coaches were mostly steam heated. Or is it assisting traction ?

[@981smithy]

Thanks for watching and the 47 was as you say for shunting at Carlisle.

[@981smithy]

Thanks for the kind words they are very much appreciated. Regards Phil.

Supreme video! Fantastic work! :D

[@steamsearcher]

Thank you for such lovely views of two superb machines. Outside the Great Western stable...But in the good old days what we think must have happened during the last few weeks of Williams work with Swindon that Collet collected a select collection of useful drawings as a leaving present and was told to go and develop!!! Swindon did little except modernise Churchwards work! David in Reading.

[@evanpamely5867]

Hi Smithy. Brilliant Shots. Well composed lovely sound. Do you remember Ireland.

[@jd68ify]

super video; merci!

[@JDStoneCreations]

My dad keeps buying train videos, always has done for years... for what reason however, I do not know, because the videos on this channel alone are far better! And that's before you get to the rest of KZbin!

[@981smithy]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment. Regards Phil.

[@Rocketboy1950]

"thanks for watching", are you kidding. With all due respects to the other couple of Brits that I follow this was just the best. When the light and the scenery combine to the benefit of an adept camera operator it all just happens. Colour me green.

[@BritishTrainVideos]

Great work, must have been near to you at Shap!

[@sku70]

Beautiful!

Does anyone have any stats on how many times those bureaucratic deseasils have had to be used to 'rescue' any train from failed steam locos? Wonderful photography and scenery - well done!

Most of KZbin has commented on this one, I don't wanna be left out! All the usual words have been used, I can only agree with them all.
