Great Central Railway - Winter Steam Gala - 2017

[@mrhearse777]

I have been to the Cinema , and been charged pounds to watch entertainment not up to this standard ! This is so professional that I'm speechless . Brilliant . Thankyou.

[@Guard_Amos]

Wonderful stuff. The night time shots is the icing on the cake

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thanks very much.

[@terrier_productions]

Once this lockdown is over and the GCR announced they’ll be doing galas again, I’m going to one..

[@Colin21454]

Love the way smoke is under the bridges, totally covers the loco, its like a big dragon emerging from a cave, nice captures

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thanks Colin, a great description.

[@alant3970]

What a wonderful video. It plucked from the depths of my memory so many sights and sounds long forgotten. Sights and sounds which were much part and parcel of my youth - I spent 6 years commuting to school on just such trains. Nostalgia in extremis. Thank you very much.

Superb as ever and the night shots rounded it off so well. Thanks

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Cheers Ray, the nights shots turned out well.

[@bobcornford3637]

Beautifully shot and composed, as always.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thanks Bob, all the best.

Incredible sharp pictures and such good colour rendition given the time of the year Liam ... very good. I thought the closing night shots of sparks from the chimney, firebox glow accompanied with the whistle doplar were a real bonus. Reminded me of the old movie ... "Night of the Demon". (showing my age now, lol ) Treat to watch.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thanks for the detailed comment Rog, The doplar whistle at the end topped off a good two days.

[@rogernorton6871]

Excellently produced video encapsulating the great era of Steam Locomotion. Thank you.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thank you very much Roger.

[@robmasterman]

A wonderful event in the depth of Winter Liam...very enjoyable....Bob

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Glad you enjoyed it Bob, all the best.

[@technoandrew]

Great video. I've been looking forward to seeing this ever since your video of last year's event. The night-time shots especially were great. I was standing in the yard watching 78018's departure, and at first we couldn't see anything for the steam, but as it cleared the carriage windows shining through looked super atmospheric. The Hall put on a good show for the TPO too, particularly that extended whistle blast as it approached the signal box!

[@DerekJS]

Stunning video, really enjoyed it all, but esp the night footage :-) Many thanks

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thanks Derek, you're most welcome.

[@davidchadwick1892]

a truly atmospheric video, thank you for your artistry, this one's a keeper!

[@suesmith3744]

So there WAS a loco under all that smoke ❗❗ ( second shot) wonderful images as ever Liam 🚂🚂

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

There was indeed Sue, thanks as always.

[@acw71000]

As ever Liam, a fine selection of well filmed shots. Really enjoyed the gala despite the cold but the conditions on Friday morning were superb for decent exhausts and the sunshine on both days was a welcome bonus. Enjoyed your position for the TPO with wonderful Ollie, good view of the bag pick up

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thanks Austin, Yes, Friday mornings conditions were nice and thankfully the sun did save the day.

[@petecolton8206]

Cracking mail train and night shots. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@TrainLordJC]

Absolutely outstanding! Everything!

[@oldgittarist]

Superb video - highly evocative...

[@johnwalton6642]

Absolutely awesome! The Royal Mail 'bag and get bagged' from 24:20 on was fantastic! I would love to be able to view it in slow motion.The filming in darkness completed a truly terrific work of art. I fully appreciate your success.

[@Bruno.Trains]

[@ahoseason]

[@LittlewoodJunction]

Great video mate, some nice locos running there

[@sam8alex12]

An excellent video, you sure did get around, Very enjoyable to watch . Thanks

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thanks Ernest, it was a busy few days !

[@petercope4360driverpete]

20JUN23 Absolutely top class videoing and film making, superb coverage of an excellent GCR Gala, I have really enjoyed this, first time I have seen better than me and my brother used to do, sorry about the lack of modesty, thank you so much from an old man who is too sick to get out and about any more , Pete

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Peter, that's very kind of you to say so. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. We could do with some weather like this right now as its currently too dry to run steam in some parts of the country.

[@Seymourphotos]

Some great footage !! Love the Hall at the end.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Thanks Alan, glad you enjoyed it.

[@locomotive67]

[@soulbabe79]

[@soulbabe79]

Ollie performing her best main-line Standards just like Tuesday where she`ll pass my town returning from Bristol

[@eggbert21]

Wonderful as always, keep it up

[@Georgeconna]

fab video mate!🚅

[@deauvilledad07]

Just like any summer Saturday on the old G.C back in the 1960s

[@bobcornford3637]

Winter? Southern & GW locos?

[@nigelsmith3731]

Good point. However, some Southern locos worked the line as far as Nottingham Victoria during BR days, and Witherslack Hall is appropriate to the line.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

It certainly didn't feel like summer, but I get your drift !

[@clarky2356]

Them people who live next to that railway I'm so jealous

[@tridentmusic5570]

What an ending.......!

[@peterbuckley265]

IS THERE A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL PAST UK STEAM GALAS WITH HOME AND VISITING LOCOS IN USE PLUS WORKING TIMETABLE LOCO ROSTERS PLEASE DOES ANYONE KNOW AND WHERE TO ACCESS IT PLEASE ?? .

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

[@bopkins14]

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Hi Brandon, unfortunately I don't give out my footage for free. Thanks for asking.

[@soulbabe79]

wait one bit said msv 2016 & all the rest says msv 2017

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

That was an error in the editing process. I was still adjusting the change of year. No doubt i will have the same issue in the new year again ! Thanks for your comments.

[@soulbabe79]

Ah technical difficulties. I see Liam

[@JintySteam1]

How cold was it?

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

Pretty cold on Friday, especially the morning. Saturday was a touch windy.

[@JintySteam1]
