FLYING SCOTSMAN another filming DISASTER

Filming the Flying Scotsman at Radley station

[@keithtanner2806]

Worse happened to me many years ago when videoing the Rail 150 Cavalcade at Stockton. I had stood for hours in order to get a good location when part way through someone stood directly in front of me. At one point he turned enough for his face to be visible. A colleague, also a rail enthusiast, asked to borrow the film, the next day he informed me thatvthe offending person was his brother the rail photographer Eric Oldham! Eric apologised.

Adds an atmospheric look to that great locomotive that is the Flying Scotsman

Long way to go to have eomeone thoughtlessly stand in front of you. Occupational hazard unfortunately. At leadt you werent bombed as well. Impressive lightning just added to the atmosphere. Seems you csn still laugh, and that's good. Results were not that bad considering the conditions. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

A great video of steam in the English weather!

Always a bonus not to get bowled when filming opposite the running line. But, I prefer NOT to film at stations and one of the reasons was made clear in your video. Here are some tips. Get there before anyone else and pick the best spot for your needs. Take a step up or step ladder. Politely ask that anyone who arrives later than you and chooses to stand very close should be quiet during the experience (still camera operators need reminding of this because they don't usually think about sound). Enjoy the shared social atmosphere before and after the event

There is always one , with the brains of a rocking horse . Just didn’t think about his actions . It is so disappointing when that happens. Glad you at least got to sort of see & film it . Despite issues you encountered .

Honestly, though, in that weather, the footage was never going to be a keeper, anyway.

I used to video class 50s before the fomo and everybody was running about taking photos And railway staff wearing hi-viz jackets leapfrogging me up the platform I've tried the steam scene but it's too hectic These days I watch someone else's video, good luck everyone

at least Camera #3 has got the best bit.

Well at least another train didn't come on the other track and block your view!
