North Yorkshire Moors Railway - Autumn Steam Gala 2016

[@robmasterman]

I used to go up there for their superb Autumn Galas some 25 years ago Austin, so to see it again through the Master's lens is a real treat. Sad to see Foxcote Manor struggling so much she must be duw for some work....Bob

[@acw71000]

Thanks Bob, I don't usually like the Autumn gala as the foliage has grown up so much but having missed out on the Spring gala decided to go. Very fortunate with some decent weather and, of course, the hard working locos we associate with the NYMR

[@TheStephengthompson]

Superb as ever Austin , cracking Gala with wonderful sounds from all locos . Glad you got the two Standards together as planned .

[@acw71000]

Cheers Steve, I was hoping the timetable wouldn't slip so that the Standards wouldn't be too late and fortunately everything ran to time on the day

[@hurleyfunbags]

Excellent coverage Austin. 7822 was clearly the star of the event. You can't beat the spectacle of a Manor doing a bit of hill climbing.

[@acw71000]

Thank you, I do love the sound of a Manor hard at work

[@Maglona]

Wonderful sights and sounds, could almost smell the hot oil and smoke. My favourites are the Westerns. The 'blow on 7822's cylinder cocks seemed to improve as the day (and good weather) wore on. Sorry to hear she lost time. Outstanding was 80136. But well handled, the driver of 61264. Many many thanks. A good day!

[@acw71000]

Thanks very much, I agree, 80136 is a very capable loco and I have to say I'm glad I chose the location I did for 61264!

[@highphysics3617]

Excellent filming,and,great "balance" of steam engine,and,fitting background scenery. Super work.

[@acw71000]

Thank you. I always believe that you have to include the beautiful scenery that the trains pass through

[@pipersson39]

Beautifully shot, as always. You were so lucky with the weather!

[@acw71000]

Thanks very much Tom, yes very fortunate especially as the forecast for Saturday had been dire!

[@khankadet]

I do admire your visits to these busy galas Austin. Not to mention your ability to ferret out decent locations. Another fine set of shots and a good set of locos put out for you. Chris

[@acw71000]

Cheers Chris, I think this was one of the best galas of the year for me. The Moors never disappoints, either with the scenery or the hard working locos

[@mattyrallye]

My goodness, 80136 is a weapon. What a superb bit of kit. The section of the b1 is great too. Real driving skill. Looks like I missed another spectacle.

[@acw71000]

Thank you, I'm sure every preserved line would benefit from a Standard 4

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Enjoyed the footage to what looked like a good gala with plenty of decent engines on show.Couldn't get there myself so nice to see your efforts....Trevor.''

[@acw71000]

Thanks Trevor, it was a great gala and I'm pleased you enjoyed the video

[@RailAdventUK]

What a superb video with some superb sounds. Thanks for watching, Michael.

[@acw71000]

Thanks Michael, it was a wonderful gala

[@antsuxx]

Absolutely awesome video ,Austin,many thanks for sharing,just brilliant viewing.

[@acw71000]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. It was a brilliant gala.

[@jimyoung2188]

that Manor supplied as much BARK as the two class 5's put together a beautiful sound. thanks for the video

[@acw71000]

Thanks Jim. the Manors are lovely engines

[@TrainLordJC]

Simply stunning! Beautifully captured with magnificent Yorkshire backdrop scenery. Watching it on my new 4K 70" TV makes this so totally enjoyable from Australia. Thank you for posting.

[@acw71000]

Thank you very much. The 70'' screen sounds good and I presume it can upscale the HD footage. It was a wonderful gala held in lovely weather which was contrary to that which had been forecast!

[@kennethbell54]

A great video with super shots and sound. Thanks for sharing.

[@acw71000]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it

[@AndreiTupolev]

Manor looked like there was a bit of a leak from the cylinders in the first shot leaving Grosmont, but making a cracking sound and great light at 5:20. Std Tank putting on a great show with seven coaches as well.

[@acw71000]

7822 seemed to struggle on Friday, the shot you mention at 5:20 was the run which caused the timetable to be about 40 minutes late. The Standard tank seemed very capable on the bank, I think every preserved line would love to have one actually as they seem to be the ideal loco

[@TheMendipman]

Magnificent effort Austin Noel

[@acw71000]

Many thanks Noel, glad you enjoyed it

[@EMuksteam]

Superb video Austin, You capture to gala brilliantly from well chosen locations. The struggle up the bank at Green End of 61264 was the best. Enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A

[@acw71000]

Thanks very much. The B1 was, for me, the highlight of the weekend

[@dansrailvideos5019]

Brilliant footage! The Manor was brilliant when I went to the KWVR gala! Sounded amazing :)

[@acw71000]

Thanks, would have loved to have seen het at the KWVR but we'd booked for the West Somerset instead

[@STEVEHARLEY1956]

Smashing video Austin...well filmed with some great sounds...Loved the double-headers. Shame that 'Foxcote Manor' looked to be struggling at times.....Best wishes....Steve.-:)

[@acw71000]

Thanks Steve, Foxy appeared to struggle a bit on Friday but it may possibly have been down to the crew not being familiar with these strange GW contraptions! She didn't delay the timetable on the Saturday anyway

[@1Goldsteam]

Thats a wonderful collection of quality clips. I enjoyed 2 days there myself taking 'stills'. Thank you for sharing, Alan

[@acw71000]

Thanks Alan, what a great gala it was, and plenty of sunshine too

[@pjt1974]

Obviously haven't watched the whole video yet since it was only uploaded minutes ago, but what an opening, love the empty track and the sound of the coming train

[@acw71000]

Thank you. I start recording as soon as the train can be heard but generally have to shorten the clips for the KZbin version

[@TheWesternExplorer]

Excellent video as usual Austin. Great locations, expertly filmed. Cheers, Dave.

[@acw71000]

Thanks Dave, it was such a good gala and lucky with the weather too

[@snowjohnb]

Fantastic film, thanks for sharing - I was in Spain when it was on , so I feel I was there now. Cheers John

[@acw71000]

Thanks John, it was an excellent event

[@JamesandPeter]

Cracking shots Austin, some great locations too. Must try Green End one day and shame about 2807 on Saturday. Regards JamesandPeter

[@acw71000]

Thank you, it was an excellent gala. I wasn't too disappointed about 2807 as it gave that long shot of 61264 struggling with the Diner!

[@mscangliarail]

Super video Austin on a great heritage line super action from all loco's thanks for sharing it regards Mike

[@acw71000]

Thanks Mike, certainly one of the best galas I've attended recently

[@143topline]

super video, great grandson loved it!

[@acw71000]

That's very nice to hear, start 'em young. Isn't it amazing how the sight and sound of a steam engine can still get youngsters hooked on the hobby. Thanks very much for watching

[@fransvansabben1089]

Super nice video, with briljant shots en perfect video position points. I really enjoined looking the video. Thanks for sharing the 2016 memory with us. i was puzzling where you shoot the 17:30-19:30 min scene. Its a really beautiful video position which gives a very nice long shot of a hard working 61264 coming uphill. Please would you be so kind to explain where this video position is?

[@acw71000]

Thank you for your kind comments. The shot you mention was filmed at a location called Green End which is close to Grosmont

[@fransvansabben1089]

Thanks for the info, i found the place the map. We will visit the NYMR steam festival and we hope to make some nice pictures/films.

[@SecondValveSteam]

Excellent set of clips. How do you reach the spot at 13:35? Is it just off the rail trail? Kind regards. Cameron

[@acw71000]

Thank you. Yes the spot is off the rail trail a little way out of Esk Valley you'll see a footpath over a little bridge, go up the track and then go right and you'll come to it

[@SecondValveSteam]

Thank you. Very helpful. I presume you can reach Green End the same way (i heard rumours that the overbridge was private property). Thanks again.

[@acw71000]

Yes you can continue through the fields alongside the railway to get to the Green End bridge. It is private so up to you whether to take the chance...many do, including me once or twice!

[@alexashworth-smith8084]

Those 2 standards at the start sounded incredible!

[@alexashworth-smith8084]

Oh, and the manor always sounded like it was struggling, typical great western rubbish

[@AndreiTupolev]

Well, B1 seemed to be making a bit of a meal of it, though you probably wouldn't mention that since you seem to be one of those people who has a passionate hatred of Swindon.

[@acw71000]

Yes, it was a terrific sound

[@alexashworth-smith8084]

AndreiTupolev passionate hatred? Not really, just a dislike of all their samey 4-6-0s, manors, halls, castles and granges, generic tripe. I do like panniers, 14xx's,kings, collett goods and their heavy freight stuff like the 28xx

[@arupnath3477]

North Yourshire moors -- Steam Trains View is very Beautiful.

[@acw71000]

Thank you. It is a beautiful area

[@dirkpoggel9733]

Wunderschöne Dampflocks richtig Nostalgie Pur

[@acw71000]

Vielen Dank. Ich bin froh, dass Sie das Video genossen

[@stephensmith799]

It is a long shot.... but what the hell?! I never noted loco numbers back in the day, but I'd really like to know which two 76XXXs headed our school trip from Aberystwyth to Chester (for the Zoo) circa May/June 1965, in the company of virtually all the Primary School age pupils of the town? Yipeeeeee. No school for a day AND a long run behind steam. First task: to drain the last two coaches of all their WC water. We'd managed this between Newtown and Buttington. Pointless you might say. And you'd be right!

[@acw71000]

Maybe pointless Stephen but boys will be boys! I bet there is someone out there who can give you the loco numbers. Presumably there wouldn't have been too many 76XXX's about at the time

[@stephensmith799]

Yes and steam was to finish completely on our bit of the railway by March 1967, by which time the CCE and Evening Mail were back in the hands of 75XXXs. I reckon there were 10-11 coaches on the Chester trip, so it was quite a weight. I think we ran 'fast' all the way except for water stops. All I learned that day from an educational point of view was that some monkeys have very strange habits indeed! I can't get over the fact that the same train formation more-or-less can still be run today. Amazing.

[@highphysics3617]

Did I hear "Cock-a-doodle do" from the whistle.? That just added a humour element to a magnificent video.

[@acw71000]

Indeed, some locos do have a two tone whistle

[@michaelsandford1015]

good steam action

[@acw71000]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it

[@pega17pl]

Without envy: Once again, the British have great steam weather. (Ohne Neid: Wieder einmal haben die Briten großartiges Dampfwetter.)

[@acw71000]

Very true, our climate is well suited to steam

[@maxdickinson4206]

brilliant video it was great watching those trains pulling hard and smokeing up those inclines smoke and steam just what the doctor ordered get rid of the diesels and bring back steam its cheaper than diesel

[@acw71000]

Thanks, it's probably the best line in the country for hard working steam

[@LFOD7491]

Low res = unworthy of time.
