[@redsrollingnow1]

Stunningly beautiful and oh so professional! Thank you so much . . . . spine tingling stuff! 👍😎😁

[@GrrMeister]

Absolutely amazing footage and great sound as well - brilliant - well done and what a 'drone' WOW is all I can add.

[@skycamvideo]

Grahame .White thanks grahame. Glad you liked it. Was really windy but managed to get the shot

[@KenHeron]

Wonderful catch!

[@skycamvideo]

Cheers buddy. Catch you on TNL later maybe.

[@JohnSmith-pd1fz]

The world's most famous steam locomotive on the world's most famous stretch of railway. Superb!

[@richard9984-e3z]

Great video. Only a drone could capture this perspective. Terrific definition. The viaduct is a massive structure and can only be appreciated when standing beside it and looking up. Had no idea it was so high. Bonus watching the "Scotsman". Keep up the good work.

[@skycamvideo]

Richard Berry thanks for that Richard. I really enjoyed recording this.

[@craftythio]

2 masterpieces meet again.

[@skycamvideo]

Yeah it was amazing.

[@ryorgroupracers4608]

Spine-tingling - Victorian engineering at its finest, and maybe GB's finest era too!

[@PNEKarl]

Spine tingling indeed. I agree.

[@terryansell6641]

Amazing video from NZ

[@nigelthebriton54]

I just LOVE that 3-cylinder beat. Brings tears to my eyes...

Wow. Masterful. Well done!

[@codprawn]

Brilliant! Our railway lines are going to look awful though when everything is electrified - a real eyesore!

[@georgschwan666]

I like great footage keep it up👌

[@StephenBarnesTheVisaGeeza]

Sensational

[@skycamvideo]

Stephen Barnes thanks mate. glad you liked it

[@parkzoneradian]

It looks rather like a nicely made Hornby Dublo train set layout Steve. You caught the sound excellently.

[@skycamvideo]

Derek Wood hi Derek. yeah good sound on this one. was almost too windy to fly.

[@parkzoneradian]

You did well Steve.

[@Nick.Magnus]

That tracking shot following the train across the viaduct is soooo perfect. A master drone pilot and great videographer at work! Railway nostalgia at its best - very moving. The heroic Hans Zimmer-esque score adds nicely to the mood too. Hope to be travelling this line in the summer, but sadly with only an ordinary movie cam, not a drone. Lovely work - well done!

[@skycamvideo]

magicknuns wow great praise thanks. it was windy so was a bit harder than usual. been planned before flight. thanks again and glad you liked the video

[@mehitabel1290]

I agree, lovely shots. But why must there be any music at all? Why must we always be told what to think/feel by a chain-jerking sound-track......? Why not just let the beautiful engine speak for herself?

[@Steven_Rowe]

Cecil B DeMille made films that weren't as epic as this. Sensational footage.

[@skycamvideo]

Lol it was a bit over the top but I've been trying to catch it going over the viaduct for years.

[@Steven_Rowe]

@@skycamvideo well I went over on 30 August 2014 behind 46233, brilliant, would have been brillianter if it had been an A4. See a new word you just learnt brillianter. I couldn't resist it. Anyway I loved the footage.

[@nigelthebriton54]

I read somewhere that the late Alan Pegler, sometime owner of '4472', had his ashes thrown into the firebox as the engine crossed Ribblehead Viaduct, in accordance with his last wishes...

[@skycamvideo]

Can't blame him. What a way to go. Thanks for that Nigel

[@sandtoftfield]

Just superb!

[@skycamvideo]

sandtoftfield thanks. glad you liked it.

[@DronescApe]

fantastic mate, when I was there the weather was pretty poor, loved this video thanks for sharing 👍

[@stephenpetersaerialphotogr1969]

I managed the same thing this afternoon up at Ribblehead Viaduct. It was hellish windy, but I hadn't travelled all that way not to launch.

[@ryorgroupracers4608]

Want to go up tomorrow - can you tell me what time it went over please? Think it was about 1pm when I was on board last month, but can't remember exactly!

[@ryorgroupracers4608]

Found itinerary from last month - for benefit of others wanting to see, passes over the viaduct heading north between approx 12.45-12.50pm most summer Sundays, and return pass heading south is approx 6pm. Saw it today, magnificent! Good to meet Brian & Kevin too!

[@90dfender]

superb well done.

[@julianhumphrey4843]

A superb video, we are planning a trip later this year me with my Phantom 3 and Russell from sky view yorkshire with his S900, but are concerned about the amount of people always about, thinking maybe a Saturday evening would be best, thanks for a great video

[@skycamvideo]

Julian Humphrey I was worried about that but if you go down near the bottom of the bridge it's quiet. lots up on the road etc but nobody low down. 3 people on south side of bridge that day. all of us flying. I've seen videos of early passing and was plastered with people then. good luck

[@AndrewThomasHelliwell]

I see there was a few other drones on your vid ha !

[@skycamvideo]

Yes Andrew..lots about that day

[@charlesbrown2527]

The local sheep get freaked out by the steam engine at 2:00.

[@npr1300A8]

Fantastic!! I am currently editing our recent ride in Cumbria and Yorkshire and would like to use your photo of The Flying Scotsman going over the viaduct, please. I will add the link to your video in the description field of the video. I don't monetise my videos, preferring to archive our many motorcycle rides. Please could you let me know about the photo as soon as possible so I can publish my video. Thank you and thanks for sharing.

[@skycamvideo]

Biker Paul where would this be used ? shown etc ?

[@npr1300A8]

On my KZbin channel....Worldwide.

[@skycamvideo]

Biker Paul ok why not. just leave my logo on. thanks

[@npr1300A8]

sky cam video. Thank you so much. I'd love to get into using a drone, but I will have to leave that until I cannot ride anymore. This is why I do vlogs. Take care. Paul.

[@skycamvideo]

Biker Paul did you ever do that video ? if so let's have a link please. Ta

[@jamesb72]

Perfect shot, did you coordinate with other pilots so you didn't get in each others way? sounds hectic!

[@skycamvideo]

jamesb72 yes. well I did with Craig that was flying with me. no idea where the second one came from.

[@td6369]

@@skycamvideo is there a station just near the viaduct and what's the nearest main road please

[@andyhall2284]

is this easy to get to

[@skycamvideo]

Andy Hall yes. It's on Google maps. Park on road and short walk down to viaduct. Ribblehead Viaduct Low Sleights Rd, Carnforth LA6 3AU goo.gl/maps/PJVFyPc98BL2

[@andyhall2284]

thanks pal, did you go just for the steam train? i take it theres standard trains also running daily on this line

[@skycamvideo]

Andy Hall yes and yes

[@demonkwsn]

I take it that was the return trip, we were there for the morning pass, with drone and DSLR, multitasking at its best lol. Just a quick question on the editing side, does it take a lot to straighten out the horizons on the video, i am flying a PH2 but the horizons are terrible. Also does your drone have the microphone as well, brill how you get the sound. :) Nice flying, the wind was just a tad breezy :)

[@skycamvideo]

Tony Pickard no the sound is added in edit. the work of the horizon is done with the gimbal. no stabilising at all. a Mike would only pick up the motors anyway. lol

[@demonkwsn]

Ah yes of course, nice. I get the gimbal steadies the video but with mine afterwards the horizon on playback seems to curve quite a lot. Maybe its just the camera on the pH2

[@ryorgroupracers4608]

Definitely the return trip, train is going south - you can see the farm, road and parked cars coming *after* the viaduct.

[@dinzy14]

Lovely video! I was there with my drone a couple of weeks ago (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYu6ZqBsiMyZi9E) Alas... there were no trains coming over! Keep up the good work.

[@Explosion26]

overly dramatic music much. amazing video though
