Steam locomotives are so damn cool, like they are metal beasts fueled by fire! I dont think man has ever built machines with so much personality

Excellent Video of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway & the 9F Steam Locomotive & also its grand to see the NYMR Back in Business!!

[@chrisjohnson8632]

very enjoyable video of a lovely steam railway

[@johnairs2735]

Lucky is very fortunate to be allowed a behind the scenes view of his railways. Great to see the NYMR open again. Few passengers but you'd expect that these days.

[@edmundcarew7235]

Hopefully that will change for the better. Some of Lucky's colleagues videoing other UK preserved railways have said trains have been booked out, albeit with the strict social distancing requirements that limit passenger numbers.

[@colin10ten83]

Fabulous film, and the railway have done a great job on the restoration of the 9F, which is now the only single chimney version still running.

[@paulp1276]

Lovely, superb pictures from brilliant locations, gorgeous sounds!

[@edmundcarew7235]

From Australia, I travelled on this railway (after staying at Whitby) a few years ago. Very pleasant. Love the scene at around 21:20 where you capture the interlocked gates being closed and the stick pulled off, and how at Grosmont you also showed the semaphore signal changing to 'proceed.'

[@stnicholas54]

Lovely video. Thank you. We had those old signals on the GNR in the North West of Ireland way back in the '60s. I must confess that I never saw a signal arm go up. The signals were either horizontal or down at an angle of 60 degrees to the horizontal.

[@EdWhizAviationTrains]

So glad they are back up and running, Excellent video 😎👍

[@lauriecroad3186]

What a magnificent machine 92134 is... awesome.

[@1Goldsteam]

Wonderful clips, thank you very much for sharing.

[@chriscars3578]

Fantastic to see steam trains back up and running 👍👍👍

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Great to see steam back in action on the North Yorkshire moors railway

[@andymoss2490]

delightful thanks and good luck

From Australia: I joined the North Yorks Moors Railway Society some 60 years ago...and still have my membership badge...great to see it again.....

[@oldstubborn8660]

That was something to savour, very professional.

[@coalbridgejunction7674]

Very good video as always glad to see you and lucky are all ok Regards Martin

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Looks like 92134 is definitely the star performer

[@robinleigh1660]

Nice to see Miss Penny is still on the job....

[@pennysteam]

Robin Leigh , I wish it was so, I lost penny late 2015, lucky has taken over her role in film role while I use archive photos and video footage of penny along side, in this film penny does the start and end photos.

[@SimonTog]

Super good video, thumbs up :)

[@Steven_Rowe]

Lucky is lovely. And it goes without saying that I love steam

[@malcolmpayne754]

Brilliant work!

[@jean-paulmasse1091]

Wonderful to see these preserved steam railways back again. I really must go to the NYMR one day. I mean one day after the pandemic. The point is "when" ?

[@edmundcarew7235]

ASAP!!

[@seven8n235]

Stunning video. Thanks from Virginia US

[@hamshackleton]

Ah, MY favourite loco, the 9F!

[@spuds4t]

Is the 9F banned from Mainline trips? Apparently the 3rd(flangeless) driving wheel causes probs at some switching points? Comments appreciated please.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

92134 certainly has completed the refurbishment

[@rolanddobson6736]

Nymr merry Christmas, hope 2021 better

[@bretnielsen5502]

Thank you "Lucky" for such an enjoyable posting. All too often hoomans get overly talkative distracting from the video's sound track.

[@shangani743]

Nice to see a single chimney 9F again.

[@minihaletrains9188]

great video!!!! at the end of the video at that location, i was there when the king and witherslack went by chucking it down with rainand it was no fun lol

[@G12-l2k]

I love it TOP

[@andrewwhale1197]

Excellent footage and high quality. Are you still using the Sony AX700? All the best. Andrew

[@pennysteam]

Andrew Whale , yes alongside a Canon m6 Mark 2, this was the canons first outing.

[@G12-l2k]

Again A nice video you make TOP

[@BigGoucho]

Beautifully shot. That 9F is magnificent! Did she never carry a name?

[@pennysteam]

BigGoucho , I doubt it, apart from evening star, i doubt any 9F’s carried a name, mainly they short lived, entering service 1959 or after, I think none saw out their ticket, secondly they were freight engines, names were usually given to passenger engines and in addition BR started removing names on steam locomotives in the early 1960’s .

[@johnd8892]

@@pennysteam This un named aspect of the British Standard locomotives even extended to the Britannia class, with many only wearing nameplates for a short part of their lives. Mostly because many were named late in 1958 or 59 and even lost these names around 1962. Came across this in a rare article giving the naming dates and when the nameplates were removed. Although the whole Brit class had been built by September 1954 the later built ones were not named for several years. Preserved owners go for it giving names to un-named engines leading to the odd situation that for the majority of an engines life it can carry a name, albeit in preservation.

[@steamgent4592]

Nice video, that 9f certainly makes easy work of the Moors line gradients. I hope this doesn't mean we will see much less of Bishop Treacy. Still wondering what kind of dog you have. Never seen anything like it before.

[@pennysteam]

SteamGent , patterdale.

[@garrymartin6474]

i must say i really dislike the towing a diesel look , but a fabulous film of the subject !

[@pennysteam]

Garry Martin , I think 29 had a minor problem or it would have been all steam, these trains only ran to the summit at fenbeck, so they had to top and tail.

[@vulgivagu]

Wonderful. No narrator or music just sound of steam , as it should be.

[@michaelkettleson7317]

I live close to the Middlesbrough to Whitby line which often has steam trains travelling to and from Grosmount to other parts of the rail system. I was told of a web site that would publish dates and times of these events but have lost the link, can anyone provide a link to the web address, Thank's

Can you help solve a discussion between friends: when was this filmed? On one day or over a number of days?

[@pennysteam]

Pa Am , weekend, Saturday and Sunday,

[@rolanddobson6736]

Brilliant steam trains, none of today’s train drivers only know how to drive electric or diesel trains, they would not know anything about steam trains

[@dicklancey1306]

Um. What's that at the end of the train at 21.04?

[@philipmadhatter4006]

Who wants to get covered in soot all day best thing they did was electric and diesel

[@normajeaneclough4748]

Thank you could not have had any other B-Day present was on that train August holidays from Leeds has a child

Repton926_NYMR , yes , I was hoping to catch it last weekend but nothing was running.
