[@timgage8972]

Your videos get better and better. They look so sharp and you really nail the atmosphere. ❤🎉

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Thanks very much for the kind words

[@MrPeteUK]

Another of your fantastic videos! My local heritage line with three of my favourite locomotives, W.C. Rebuild, 4mt and Terrier "Fenchurch". You really know how to get the best shots and capture the beauty of the setting too. 😊 🚂

[@chaileystowe3026]

Great shots mate, glad to see they came out well. Was a pleasure to talk to you across the event and thanks for including the shots where I can see myself 😂 See you again soon!

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Thanks very much! Not 100% the video I wanted, but quite happy with the result. Was a pleasure to meet and chat with you too

[@iandocwra1169]

A fine sequence. I was there on the Saturday. Good camera work and location selection.

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Thanks very much

[@iandocwra1169]

As a matter of interest, do you shoot in 4k, 6k or 8k? I shoot in 8k but, of course, YT stops at 4k. Apart from the railway stuff, the opening scene of the sun rays in the mist is lovely.@@TheSouthernerYTChannel

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

@iandocwra1169 I film in 4K, as the camera is a Panasonic HC-X1500E. One day, funds permitting, I'd love to delve into high rated equipment. Thanks very much. Got very lucky with that clip. A moment while waiting for the station to open on the Sunday morning.

[@SouthernRailSpotter]

Wow, some truly incredible shots here! I covers this event as well! keep up the good work!

[@allangove1440]

Oh how I wished I could have been there. Thank you so much for your excellent video - made me very happy. You can’t beat a Bulleid Pacific in my view!

[@johnmilner0859]

Absolutely excellent film 👏👏👏

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Thank you

[@01732michael]

Great video, sorry for myself getting in your Freight video at the front of the brake van, hope to see you at Romney!

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Cheers! You really have nothing to apologise for, it all adds to the human factor, and I appreciate the odd cameo. I'll be around on the Sunday.

[@mattlander9119]

Excellent video. Didnt get a chance to go lineside this event so nice to see that perspective. Also nice to see soke of our wagons out on the brake van rides.

[@adambroomfield7528]

Amazing shots of the bulleids!! I mean overall what a video really enjoyable great stuff.

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Thanks very much for the kind words, Adam!

[@TheHoveHeretic]

Lovely shots there. Hope it's not too long before 21C123 can come out to play too. I recall seeing 34027 at Brighton. With the Mayor and Blue Buses' silver band on the concourse awaiting arrival time, it caught all of us on the hop when it rocked up out of the evening gloom into Plat 3 15 mins early .... the driver commented that signals from London Bridge were favourable, but even so, the loco was running so well, it didn't really have to try too hard!! 🙂

[@MaxxD86]

5:20 wow never thought I’d see that class of locomotive carry that livery 😮

[@edwardvincentbriones5062]

I watched a few old videos of Q1 C1 on the Bluebell before watching this. Seeing Taw Valley wearing the same colors as C1 is memorable.

[@williamtown4058]

I was there on the 13th.

[@thomasweekley9209]

Very nice video. I wish I could travel to Britain and see the Bluebell Railway for myself. Also, why does Fenchurch have a chime whistle?

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Thanks very much Owners choice

[@NathanielKempson]

Bluebell: GIANTS of steam Also Bluebell: One of the smallest locos on their roster Fenchurch.

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Ideal and economical for the task asked of it

[@TheMidlandTerrier]

Why does fenchurch always steam the show 😂

[@mickboakes7023]

Yuk. Why did the Bluebell decide to paint the rebuilt Bullied black? Was the unwanted paint going cheap? Thought they would have known better. Another great video. (Please tell me it’s water based paint and will wash off).

[@TheSouthernerYTChannel]

Not the Bluebell. It's privately owned, and based at the Severn Valley Railway as stated in the description. Therefore, it's whatever colour the owner wants it to be.

[@AndreiTupolev]

That was done by the Severn Valley, where it's based. It's due to go for overhaul fairly soon, and it needed repainting from the horrid lilac it carried last year, so rather than give it a full repaint in green they decided on this. I think it suits it really well

[@mickboakes7023]

@@TheSouthernerYTChannel Thanks for that. Glad it wasn’t the Bluebell. For me there’s only one colour for a Bullied.

[@chrisfrost8456]

As was already said not owned by Bluebell ,its based at Severn Valley where I saw earlier in year and its also not authentic it would never had that livery I am not a fan Should be in Southern Green but definitely not black.😢

[@trevorgibson8563]

totally agree plus that stupid number
