FOXFIELD RAILWAY SUMMER STEAM GALA 17th JULY 2016

[@Steven_Rowe]

a very beautiful video, the delights of industrial steam, it is even nice to close your eyes and simply listen. I remember as a young boy laying in bed at night, often hearing steam powered frieght on the Gospel Oak to Barking line as it ran throught Tottenham. Often a train would be stopped by a home signal and how lovely it was to hear the buffers as the wagons pushed up agaimst the loco. it was almost a feeling of security as a young boy.

Thank you for sharing those memories Steven which I must say are similar to my own but mine are based much further to the north. I'm pleased that you enjoyed the video and that it rekindled those memories for you.

[@AndrewCooper-eo7oh]

More and more please great. Thank you.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Certainly some terrific sounds there. Lovely light for the shot of No.2 going up the bank @ 6:40. Imaginative angle for the closing shot with the train literally coming up out of the ground. I like the enormous poles those people were using to give them an elevated view; presumably they couldn't afford drones.

[@Parsound]

Thank you, pleased that you enjoyed it. I included the camera poles because of the novelty value but I'll certainly be trying to exclude them in the future. At least they are quieter than drones!

Excellent as always, Alan - fantastic videography

[@Parsound]

Thanks John. Foxfield really is a videographer's dream venue.

[@philharris256]

Amazing how such small locos can make so much noise love it great video

[@Parsound]

Thank you. It's good to hear that you enjoyed it. I'm hoping to film this year's event tomorrow.

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

The North Stafforfshire livery is superb! :-)

[@TheMendipman]

Thanks Alan. You know that's my sort of railway! Noel

[@Parsound]

Yes indeed Noel. The pit head shots were just for you. Alan

Awesome sounds, the austerities sound like much larger locomotives like the South African class 15AR for instance. There have been Hunslet Austerity loco's been chuffing around at collieries just 10 miles from where I lived (in the Netherlands south east) in my childhood, but sadly I never saw these nor did I know about their existance because I never got to that place before the late 80's when I started working and had to go there for work, the collieries where shut and largely demolished by that time. (the last one closed in 1976) One of the hunslets survived however, but is still under restoration, and will run in the future.

[@Parsound]

Thanks for your memory. Considering their size the Hunslet Austerities could certainly make a lot of noise.

[@SYKAROST]

Terrific sights & sounds nicely recorded Alan, I really will have to try to get there in September as I watched Nick Shorts video earlier and mentioned that this is like Chasewater ....... On Steroids!! Great stuff, really enjoyed it. Regards, Brian.

[@Parsound]

Thanks Brian. The passenger stretch is very reminiscent of Chasewater...then the coal trains have to return up the bank!!! It's a good job I attenuated the mic 10db! Regards Alan

that one tank engine (at the end of the vid) seems to have a priming issue. While her helper engine at the rear has a clear stack and sharp exhaust.

I wanted to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so they extend the new abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into six cars per units and also having three Accessible Toilets on that six cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC, Gardner 6LXB and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and also having 8 DisaAccessiblelets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. Oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train station so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train station in Chingford and could they extend the DLR? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Six carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique minor no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 16 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!! And please do something about these very important Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
