Double Headed Panniers To The Severn Valley Railway - The Pannier Rambler 2017

One of the highlights of the mainline calendar and the certainly the most unusual is the appearance of the double headed panniers and this year we see 9466 & 9600 head from Tyseley to the Severn Valley Railway. The day starts off at Wythall and finishes at Old Hill where fireworks and slips were the highlights of the day ! All location feature in video. I hope you enjoy the video.

Fabulous to see and hear, stretching their legs, a great performance indeed.

The "OMG" from that kid just about sums it up! What a performance 👏🏼

A great collection of shots of the volcanic pair Liam & Phil, they never fail to impress.... A bit like you two lol. Cheers, Brian.

Fantastic stuff. I'm surprised Network Rail let small engines like these out on the mainline. But, glad they do

[@spuds4t]

This is the first time that I have seen panniers on main line excusions, but how impressive they turn out to be! I suppose that there are one or two limitations on their useage on long hauls eg: prolonged high speed unlikely (75mph); limited coal & water capacity. Otherwise great to enjoy this wonderful capture on this video. Old Hill Bank was made for night time video! Many thanks most enjoyable.

A 94XX in full flight sounds like a Super D. Also I nver fully realised how much bigger the 9400 is than a 5700. Smashing video, sound and locations, as usual.

Brilliant performance by the panniers and great locations for the clips. The night shots were very atmospheric apart from the flashing tail lamp - oh for the glimmer of an oil lamp! Thanks for a great year of videos.

[@jkbdevel]

Well done. Your composition of each shot was spot on. Excellent work. Thank you.

[@kevinchestney9006]

Another fantastic compilation. I must do this tour next year!!!

[@clarky2356]

The panniers certainly make a lot of steam and smoke I really enjoyed your video

[@AuthenticAspects]

A fine collection of shots. Good to see you again, cheers - Will

[@CalebsRailFilms]

Excellent footage mate. Thanks for sharing with us. Never knew they had Panniers with mainline tickets. Use to seeing GWR/BR tender engines on the mainline, never tank engines. Quite interesting to see your video when it came up in my feed. Nicely filmed as always. Can’t wait to see them myself when I come to UK in a few years time.

[@ericdumptee9084]

professional video...perfect, top notch ! Winderfull quality...

[@sam8alex12]

A very enjoyable video the two of you made. THANK YOU

[@josephrailfan3349]

Ducks on the mainline?

[@EHSteamVideos]

Great Video Shots of the 2 Panniers! Liam :)

[@rjas365]

Great video thanks, Liam & Phil. A superb panning shot at Wilmcote station and a spectacular capture at Hagley (did the female comment at the end suggest a lens cap had been left on?). Tremendous atmosphere with the night-time shots. Your footage of The Rambler gives a special opportunity to enjoy seeing two panniers working really well together, in contrast with the more common sight of a pannier and a prairie. Kind regards, Bob.

Great compilation really enjoyed it Love to see hard working tanks engines sounds and sights excellent. I notice how majority of spectators stood well behind the yellow lines on platforms a rare thing these days. Try Chesterfield nightmare. Cheers

[@marcobuijs1271]

OMG indeed! What speed can these do? We have tank 0-6-0 here in Europe but they barely do 30mph.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

45mph

[@eng9725]

I love the night shots. Something a bit different.

[@RailAdventUK]

Top quality stuff! Keep it up

[@JakeBSteam]

Cracking video. :)

[@scottishsteamproductions2014]

Correct me if I'm wrong but is that the take of coaches used for the Shakespeare express or is it happy coincidence

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Yes, it's the same tour operator company, Vintage Trains.

[@scottishsteamproductions2014]

Marsh Steam Videos™ thanks do you know where they're based ?

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Tyseley, Birmingham

[@34duc]

How does the driver in the loc at the back know when to brake or accelerate?

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Front loco controls the brakes. Rear loco provides power when needed.
