Superb shots Austin. You captured a action pack video with the engines working hard up the incline. The last shots of the 3 engines was fantastic. With all that smoke. Brilliantly filmed. Enjoyable watching. Have not been to this heritage railway yet. It looks great. C&A

[@acw71000]

Thank you, you should try and visit, it's a wonderful friendly line. Great performances from all locos but that last one was pretty special, blocking the sun out in the last shot!

[@robmasterman]

I know I can rely on you to capture this superb event each year Austin, and you never disappoint...You've managed to get a few different locations for this one...and it's been a joy to watch...noticed the start of a lineside fire at the end there ....Bob

[@acw71000]

Thanks Bob, there were quite a few fires started during the day. The trackside vegetation has grown quite a lot since my last visit making it difficult to see the loco wheels in places but it's always an enjoyable and friendly place to visit

[@PhilbruProduction]

As always great art. Splenddi video, Austin. Locomotive crane is impressive. Philippe

Great shootn, pard! Nice dry rails, a confident climb and great sound.

[@acw71000]

Thanks Alan, great day, nice weather, couldn't be better

[@howarth004]

Those little saddle tank Loco`s sure do a good job , some interesting Loco`s there for the Gala

[@acw71000]

It's a wonderful little railway David, very friendly people and we'll worth a visit. Thanks for your kind comments

[@STEVEHARLEY1956]

Cracking video Austin...great work.... Loved that Dubs Crane Tank....and 'Bellerophon' is a true star. I bet you got to smell some lovely clag at times...lucky you...lol. Cheers....Steve.~

[@acw71000]

Thanks Steve, yes indeed, plenty of lovely smelly exhausts to send us home happy

[@TheWesternExplorer]

What a remarkable little railway. Thought about coming up today but was put off by problems on the M6 and major traffic disruption in the area. Wonderful video Austin as usual. Rare to see so much freight activity on a preserved line. Loved the crane tank! Cheers, Dave.

[@acw71000]

Thanks Dave, it was a great event as usual at the Foxfield. You will certainly enjoy it if you can get up sometime

[@TheDoodyman1]

A lovely video, Austin and very well put together. I thoroughly enjoyed watching that - thank you. Kind regards Frank.

[@acw71000]

Thanks Frank, it was a great gala and pleasant weather made for a very enjoyable day

[@peterbrackenbury]

Hi Austin, great stuff as usual. Fantastic action, better than most 'big' preserved railway galas!

[@acw71000]

Many thanks Peter, the Foxfield always puts on a great display and is a wonderfully friendly little line. I could never tire of it

[@Maglona]

I've never visited the Foxfield till now that is. It's wetted my appetite. A fine looking Railway. Excellent sound and vision. I could almost smell that clag. Thanks you Sir. delboy.

[@acw71000]

Thank you. The line is well worth a visit and the section I've shown is just a part of it. The passenger trains pass through some very attractive countryside

[@TheStephengthompson]

Excellent Austin , hard to pick a favourite as they are all as good as each other . Lokked like you had decent weather with no strong wind like up North . Steve

[@acw71000]

Thanks Steve, bit breezy at times but nothing like what you experienced in the Fells

[@rab4472]

Cracking footage Austin, from another great show at the Foxfield. Glad you didnt go back back to bed after the early call for the Duchess Mike

[@acw71000]

Thanks Mike, luckily I'm a morning person so once I was up I was raring to go

[@hemerdonbank]

Nicely captured, Austin. Looks like there was lots of smoke and plenty of atmosphere. Keith

[@acw71000]

Thanks Keith, you are always assured of hard working engines at the Foxfield

[@TheMendipman]

Great video Austin. That last climb with the three engines was spectacular - and I think they set the weeds alight too! I must confess this is my sort of railway - little industrials being worked to the limit. After all, it's what railways were invented for in the first place. Must get there one day. Noel

[@acw71000]

Thanks Noel, there were quite a few fires started during the day as the locos attacked the bank. You must try and visit, you won't regret it

[@khankadet]

Super compilation of these great locos fighting the grade Austin. A joy to watch. Chris

[@acw71000]

Thanks Chris, I do love the Foxfield, especially with those little locos working hard up the bank

[@georgemiser]

Such a delight seeing that little Dub at work. It's nice to know that at least one ''Harvey'' has been restored to working order. ^^

[@acw71000]

Thank you for watching. It is wonderful to see the crane tank in action.

[@AndreiTupolev]

That little red one was attacking it in no uncertain fashion at the start. Doesn't Bellerophon make a great sound. Great angle at 1:20; I was worrying about your health and safety for a moment there.

[@acw71000]

Thanks for your comments. Bellerophon is very loud and you could hear her attacking the bank long after passing the camera position. Rather scary having locos coming straight at you even though I was behind the fence!

[@nigelbrazier8585]

2017 promises to be am exciting year as it is the 50th anniversary of the preservation society taking over the line and operating its first passenger trains. We have plenty planned for the year including so do keep an eye out for news of events.

[@acw71000]

I certainly will Nigel. I always look forward to my visits to the Foxfield

[@wooltman]

Were abouts is this part of the F.R we visited last weekend and never found this section of track,we rode from the main station to a run round loop but never saw this section.

[@acw71000]

It's filmed around Foxfield Colliery. This section of the line is generally only used for Special Events. I believe the intention is to run passenger trains to the colliery at some point in the future

[@wooltman]

Thanks.

[@SchmalspurbahnFans]

a fantastic video, thumbs up

[@acw71000]
