Great to hear the Horwich bark once again. Couldn't make the gala but your brilliant video almost made up for it. Many thanks. Alan

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

[@447CDH]

Very enjoyable The shot where two trains passed in the dusk at the station brought back memories of 50 odd years ago When I spent many hrs watching the trains at the village station near where I lived as a child. Thanks for posting

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

447CDH Thank you. Glad I can rekindle those childhood memories, for you. Thanks for watching & commenting. Regards, Liam

[@peterdovey5182]

Yet another great days filming by you, that last clip with the light in the steam, fantastic. You must have been frozen. Thanks for showing.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Peter Dovey Thanks, Peter. Always enjoy steam in the winter, regardless of some conditions. The lighting around Ramsbottom, helps significantly in low light. Thanks as ever. Regards, Liam

[@TheStephengthompson]

Great video with absolutely great atmosphere at the end at Ramsbottom with the train passing too. From your camera point I could see the place at Ramsbottom from which my car was stolen about 18 years ago when I was there with my grandson!

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Keith Alexander Cheers, Keith. Ramsbottom, finished the day off nicely. As, the station captures the atmosphere, of the gala, very well. Hope you got your car back !

***** Cheers, Phil. Was a nice scene, with the sun breaking through. Make's all the difference, sometimes. Regards, Liam

[@AndreiTupolev]

some very memorable shots there, particularly nice @ 2:20, the shot through the tunnel and the closing shot. Good to see the Crab being given a good workout.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

AndreiTupolev Some great performances, from crews & locos, again ! The Crab, with the double banked Black Fives, was my favourite !

[@johnwalton6642]

An excellent video which I really enjoyed watching. Ramsbottom is a station with something of everything ( level crossing,signal box,traditional lamps,footbridge and water tower etc).. So movements there are always worth a second look,which I am going to take now.Many thanks for your success on a cold day.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

JOHN WALTON Your welcome, John. There's always plenty of atmosphere at, Ramsbottom on gala days.

[@SuperWHIZZO]

Visited this winter "warmer ??! " several times in the noughties but my bloods much thinner now !! Excellent shooting of the (and in the !) conditions , thanks ., the lighting at ramsbottom station under the canopy captured really well.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

SuperWHIZZO Thanks, It was definitely brisk out ! Ramsbottom, always captures the atmosphere nicely, and a great place to finish your day off. Regards, Liam

[@IanHardmanPhotography]

Nice to watch my cab ride from a different angle!

[@karldenton]

[@SYKAROST]

Cracking footage Liam, further incentive for us to plonk our caravan at Burr's one gala weekend when it's not quite so chilly. A great effort from you & Phil, well done, regards, Brian.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

SYKAROST Cheers, Brian. Definitely worth a stay, if you like caravaning & steam !

[@SYKAROST]

Yes Liam, it's useful to have if we want explore several railways in an area such as Norfolk later in year. The ELR is now firmly on my 'wish list'!! lol

[@bigkiwimike]

[@tolpuddleman]

Marsh Steam Videos™ Didn't say so before, but I'm a newbie on the carriage cleaning crew at ELR, and we cleaned all the coaches ahead of the gala...touch of pride seeing them on video...thanks again

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Looked like you done a good job !

[@mattyrallye]

love the film of the std 4 tank!

Nice steam trains

[@tomsdailyvlogs7147]

Great shots at well chosen locations. Hope to go here soon. Is the 'Crab' the East Lancs' loco

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

+Toms Daily Vlogs It's one of their resident engines, not sure if it's their main engine.

[@tomsdailyvlogs7147]

+Marsh Steam Videos™ okay. Thanks. Going there on Monday

[@mattseymour8637]

Nice to see the Crab on the bill, not seen her in real life, those black fives should be at the front!

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Matt Seymour Was, our first sighting of the Crab ! It was probably the star performer of the Saturday !

[@gordonsimpson8633]

Excellent

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

+Gordon Simpson Thank you =)

[@MiRailOfficial]

Like the snowy atmosphere . Wish it would snow down south where I live. Oh well. Matt

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

MI Rail The snow makes a big difference to a video. though I'm sure there's more snow to come this year !

[@DjDenKot]

great

[@SecondValveSteam]

Wonderful film of wintertime scenes. Is the spot at Summerseat at 10:49 publicly accessible or for permit holders only? Many thanks.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

No, it's not a public access spot, there is one before the station in the direction of Burrs, foot crossing if I remember correctly. The trackbed from Burrs to Rawtensall is owned by the council, not the railway, so in theory you can access the line with the correct PPE.

[@mattyrallye]

oh and crist the CRAB!!!

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

mattyrallye The, Crab, was superb on that one scene !
