Flying Scotsman visits the Bluebell Railway - 4K

[@elainelethborg2550]

He looks good. He sounds great. The scenery is very relaxing. Great video. Thankyou.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi, it was nice to see the "Flying Scotsman" visiting the "Bluebell Railway", it proved very popular with a large number of people visiting just to see this famous locomotive. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.

[@clivefive4081]

i appreciate your videos and the time and effort you put in to them, thank for sharing

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment.

[@ronstarkronstark500]

Quite delightful. The only thing missing is the fragrance of the locations. Brilliant. Thanks for the ride!

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Thank you Ron, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. The fragrance was hot oil and burning coal, with a hint of bluebells.

[@borderreiver3288]

has to be one of the most iconic steam engines along with Mallard...glad it is still running after all these years....lovely to see all the primroses growing along the track...

[@Timsvideochannel1]

This engine is probably the best known steam locomotive in the world, its nice to see and hear it working hard. The Spring primroses were an added bonus.

[@HughMartell]

Now that I'm retired, I'll have time to see some of the world's great railways. Thanks Tim, for sharing this! Your videos really get me excited!

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Cheers, I really appreciate your comment and I hope you are enjoying retirement. I've still got 6 or 7 years to go before I hang my boots up, but I guess the time will fly by, I'm not sure my wife is looking forward to me being around all the time.

[@mattseymour8637]

Lovely video of Flying Scotsman! she sounds and looks stunning!

[@schlookie]

This railway is on my bucket list to visit.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

I hope you make it one day, we are spoilt for choice in England, there is a wonderful selection of steam railways to visit.

Hi Tim.happy Easter.another fine video.saw her pass through Bamber Bridge last week on way to Bluebell railway from Keighley,lots of young ups from a local nursery brought along to see her.hopefully railfans of the future.best wishes jerry

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Thank you, it's nice that the nursery school took the youngsters to see her, I bet some of them will still remember when they are old enough to have children of their own. It must be 50 years ago since the Flying Scotsman ran along the South Coast through Chichester, almost everyone saw it and most still remember, I have the rather shaky cine film my father took of the occasion. How many old ladies can still draw such crowds 50 or so years after retiring?

Great Video - I was there as well at Horsted Farm Crossing when you were filming it. Liked it where you buried your gopro in the ballast on the track.

I have not yet seen the restored locomotive in the metal.. She certainly is magnificent! Excellent video (as usual!}

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am guessing you have set the week she visits the WSR aside to make the most of it. There are plenty of excellent locations on the WSR to get great shots, I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

it should be a good week of videoing for all!

[@STEVEHARLEY1956]

Superb video Tim....FS is coming to us at the WSR for a week in September. Can't wait..We are expecting big crowds too...Best wishes....Steve.-:)

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Cheers Steve, the Scotsman really draws the crowds, many of whom have no real interest in railways, but then the Scotsman holds a special place in history and everyone wants to witness the day she visited their local line. It was the same the first time I saw her around fifty years ago, when she ran along the south coast, the whole town turned out to witness the occasion. It going the to be a great week on the WSR and I'm looking forward to seeing your video covering her visit .... Tim.

[@STEVEHARLEY1956]

If time allows..I will prob be working on Her some of the time..We shall see....lol..

Flying Scotsman coming through!

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Probably the most famous locomotive in the world.

[@pega17pl]

Hello Tim, I know 'Fying Scotsman' as one of legendary long-distance expresses at golden period of railways. Now I read at Wikipedia (EN) how famous its loco 'Flying Scotsman' is who toured at around world (nearly) and did some extraordinary records. Her constructor Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley seems to be famous to UK railway fans, too. Not surprising many people visited Bluebell Railway. Nethertheless the other locos were worth to visit, too. Although sunshine seems a little bit cold indicated by some impressive steam. - Heinz

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hello Heinz, Sir Nigel Gresley's most notable design was "Mallard", yet it's "Flying Scotsman" that hogs the limelight. I think much of it's fame comes from being linked to the famous London to Edinburgh train named "Flying Scotsman" and its trips to America and Australia. It also has the advantage of being owed by some very charismatic people over the years. The "Flying Scotsman" story certainly makes interesting reading, especially the period it spent in America. The Bluebell railway has a wonderful collection of locomotives and it was good to see some of them running during Flying Scotsman's visit.

[@pega17pl]

Tim, I know the Bluebell by one of your vids at 2015 where an additional view to repair shop was given.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

It is one of my local heritage lines, about 40 miles from my home, it only takes about an hour to get there, so I visit it at least once a year.

[@neilforbes416]

The Flying Scotsman came to Australia in 1988 for our Bicentenary celebrations. The events surrounding the visit were covered by the ABC, I have the video of that visit but regrettably due to copyright(I don't have permission from the ABC), I cannot upload. Nonetheless, your video was BRILLIANT!, though it was more a potpourri of the "Scotsman" and other locos as well. One instance though, at the 44-minute mark, the small loco, shows what happens when you leave something in the wash too long.....it shrinks! LOL

[@Timsvideochannel1]

The Bluebell Railway was the first standard gauge line to be preserved, giving it the advantage of buying locos and rolling stock direct from British Railways rather than scrapyards. Running some of their home fleet of locos as well as the Scotsman made the event much more interesting, because there was always something going on. The Flying Scotsman belongs to the National Railway Museum now and as well as hauling tour trains, she is available for heritage railways to hire in for special events. Visiting locos have become popular, because it means there is always something new to see. I have a number of videos covering her tours of the USA and Australia where she was often dwarfed by the carriages she was coupled to, a consequence of the smaller British loading gauge. As the trains on our heritage lines become more popular and heavier, there is less work for the smaller tank engines, so it is nice to attend branch line events where they are run with some of the older carriages. We are very lucky in the UK to have such a variety of top class heritage railways. Oh well back to work now. Tim.

[@neilforbes416]

We have something similar here in Australia at a town, south of Sydney(thereabouts) called Thirlmere. A museum there stores and preserves steam and diesel locos as well as rail motors. You will have heard me mention the "Tin Hares" in my video, well, of the 37 built between 1923 and, perhaps 1933(or a bit later, not sure exactly when their production ceased), of the 11, or so remaining, a few of them are at Thirlmere. I have to admit I've only seen the place on a KZbin video shot, I think, by Aiden Teszke. Aiden, if you're reading this, can you let me know if it was you who shot that video? Cheers!

[@Timsvideochannel1]

I'll try to look in on Thirlmere on my next trip to Australia if I can make time.

[@neilforbes416]

It should be well worth the visit.

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. It was shot with a Sony FDR-AX53 Handycam, views of the train going over the camera were shot using a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition and the video was edited with Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate. I hope this helps. Tim.

[@chatty1chatty1NickD]

I shall make a note of the Sony , thank you, impressive - no wind noise and, unusually with 4k capture, the engine exhaust isn't pixillated because of the slower frame capture rate other cameras appear to have.

[@bobparsons77]

Great video. Used to train spot when I lived in London. When it was in service what kind of speed do the engine attain? Bob Alberta

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Thank you Bob, her top speed was 100 mph, she was limited to 75 mph when I used to travel behind her on rail tours, although unofficially it was not unusual to time her at over 90 mph. In this video she would have been limited to 25 mph on the Bluebell Railway, although I believe she is currently allowed to do 75 mph on the main line.

[@robertcoleman4861]

Hi tim what a beautiful engine and heritage rail system it's like going back to the 1940's,Doe's the scotsman still do regular excursions,Did you know the scotsman was in australia in 1988 and 1999 on an australia tour,Iwas on warnervale station(nsw rail net.com for pictures) the main line to brisbane via newcastle i think it was 1999 she came roaring thru at approximately at 80 miles an hour to go over a bank dragging 8 coaches,For more info flying scotsman in australia on youtube thanks mate bob.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi Robert, the first time I saw Flying Scotsman was during British Rails ban on steam using the network, for some reason Scotsman was not subject to the ban, it roared past my house in West Sussex watched by huge crowds of admiring onlookers. I have subsequently travelled behind her on a number of rail-tours throughout England and Wales. After her long and expensive overhaul by the National Railway Museum, she still hauls special trains on the network. I followed her travels in both the USA and Australia, its good to have home again. Tim.
