Ex-GWR Castle Class locomotive 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe working Vintage Train's Shap Mountaineer railtour over Shap, 16 March 2024. Seen in the landscape climbing Shap on the outward journey, and then returning south approaching Shap Village and at Woodacre near Garstang.

I think we are blessed with some of the most talented steam crew in the world. And videographers! One of the best steam railway videos I have seen. Well done!

A superbly crafted long sequence. I love these long shots showing the railway in context in the landscape. Noel

Many thanks Noel, that's great to hear, and hopefully plenty more long running shots to come (weather permitting!). Thanks, David.

5043 made light work going up Shap and definitely put on a good show going up Shap. Was a great trip I must say and definitely made up for the shambles in January, plus this was my first trip behind 5043 for just under 10 years.

It did indeed David, glad you had a great trip - it certainly looked it from the lineside.

David, this is outstanding work sir. Great to see a steam working across the fells without a diesel doing the majority of the work. Other operators please take note.

Thank you very much Stuart, really appreciate your comments. It was fantastic to see mainline steam unassisted as you say and the weather was kind for the morning - lovely to be out when it's like that. Thanks again, David.

Excellent video David. Well captured in the landscape. Superbly done. Enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A

@Linesider1 5 ай бұрын

Many thanks C&A, glad you enjoyed it. There is a vastness to Shap which I think is best appreciated from a distance. Best wishes, David.

Cracking footage David, you pulled another one out of the bag with your Salterwath shot that was a superb pan as well as another superb pan on the return at Shap Village, cheers nige👍

Many thanks Nige, lovely to have favourable weather and no diesel on Shap, a very special occasion these days.

Nailed it again! With being so far away watching her come from a distance away your pleasure and ours lasts longer. The photo gallery close to the line would be all packed up and away before you had finished the shot. At ±2.40 [ and more] the loco is just feathering the safeties classic GWR style, then each shovel of coal can be seen at the chimney as a few seconds of grey. Classic by the book stuff. Brilliant to see. Also with being at a distance the overhead line and masts are difficult to see, an added bonus. Brilliant work by the camera man and the fireman on the loco. Thanks for doing it Amacf

Thank you very much Amacf - it was a lovely calm day to be out filming, and the distance certainly helps to conjure more of a historic scene for me, albeit with the odd 'Home Bargains' or 'TK Maxx' lorry thrown in..!

Many thanks, much appreciated. It was great to see 5043 in the fells again, always a special occasion.

We are fortunate at being able to see locos from 'other regions' appearing on what would have been unknown territory.

@Linesider1 5 ай бұрын

Definitely Kevin - who would have thought in 1968 that we would be able to see such sights over 50 years later! The remarkable story of preservation. Cheers, David.

Superb. Viewed at distance the electric steelwork and cables disappear rather nicely.

@Linesider1 5 ай бұрын

Many thanks Phil, I quite agree - all of those modern features soon recede from that distance.

@SimonBrown89 5 ай бұрын

Brilliant David, your long distance shots are superb. Up there with your Mallastang edge and above Ribblesdale shots.

@Linesider1 5 ай бұрын

Many thanks Simon, much appreciated and thought it was time for another one of these. Funny to think that the spot I filmed from on Mallerstang Edge forms part of the background for this shot.
