As a photographer and a videographer, I love the way that this has been edited together. Nothing feels out of place and there is a good balance between the two different angles that you have set up. I love being able to take photos of these glorious steam engines in action but I was unable to go this year due to lack of funds

Great video , down few years ago with my late father for ride behind your Black 5 , my dad passed for driving in 1962 on a black 5 , taking it from grimsby to Peterborough . Crew let him on footplate really made his day , he knew his way round like he was still a steam driver , he reckoned you work them pretty hard though . We are a railway family , dad and grandad were ex steam drivers , I spent 37 fitter at imm , Daughter is driver ,worked freight at IMM now passenger , son in law imm driver

Really nice to see your video of 76079. I remember seeing her as one of my favourite locomotives in a deplorable, unrestored state at the Steamport museum in Southport in the late seventies, early eighties. This is heartwarming to watch.

My late Dad was a fan of steam and seeing this wonderful video made me think of him and wish he was here to see it. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the 'driving'! It must be quite an experience, especially one's first time.

Weren’t they fantastic trips? I used to love a few days in North Wales in the summer to go on the Cambrian. 76079 was perfect for that run

[@mothmagic1]

Done this journey a few times and always been lucky enough to travel on a steam train. One day I'll make the whole trip Whitby to Pickering. There's something soothing about the sound of a steam loco running at a reasonable speed. Could almost send me to sleep.

[@colin10ten83]

Excellent and very interesting piece of film. I have a cottage on Captain Cooks Haven and enjoy weatching the trtains go by. The film reveals that it is a fair distance between Whitby and Grosmont. Goathland Bank is a good test for the Footplate Crew.

While engine and fireman work hard, for the driver the long, steep climb to Goathland is the most relaxed part of the trip; he gets the engine nicely set and then leaves it to get on with its work.

Loved the BR Standard classes and their predecessors. Smashing to be in the cab and ride the footplate, as it were. Thanks.

[@physiocrat7143]

I don't remember them being so popular with trainspotters as they were considered ugly and replaced pre-grouping types designed for appearance rather than practicality. The LMS class 4 were apparently inspired by the T-34 tank, but then Derby had built tanks during the war. There is an early published drawing of the class 4 which looks like a small class 5. In retrospect it is a pity the construction of the standards did not continue, with improvements to the design including light oil firing. Most of the disadvantages of steam are due to using coal, problems with water treatment which have been solved in recent years, and sub-optimal exhaust systems. The long warm-up time is avoided by pre-heating and improved insulation. These bring efficiency up to about 12% ie an improvement of more than one-third, which is not as high as diesel (in theory, but about good enough). Burning oil in a steam locomotive avoids the pollution problems you get with diesel.

[@phph1731]

@@physiocrat7143 I guess that may be so. However, I liked their look. It was somewhat utilitarian but standards of different sizes and power ratings appealed to me. As to oil, I don’t know enough to fire off a sensible comment. However, seeing some American locos in preservation pouring out the black stuff like there is no tomorrow would give cause to wonder. Anyway, interesting comments and food for further thought, for which, thanks.

[@physiocrat7143]

@@phph1731 As regards oil firing, the 1993 build of steam locomotives in Switzerland use a different system. See it at work here, 4 minutes from the start. It is a rebuilt class 52 Kriegslok.

[@aliasdeputydog]

Odd to see the differing styles of driving, the first driver from Whitby made plenty of use of the "gearbox" and less regulator control whereas the second man didn`t but managed two wheel spins by over-use of the regulator pulling away from Grosmont Station. Lovely railway experience on the NYMR with beautiful scenery.

[@russellgreen3375]

It's more to do with the whitby to Grosmont section is fairly level, but after Grosmont there's a steep 1 in 49 climb

[@johnlumley-moore2079]

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

[@Sorarse]

Listening to how that loco was working, I'm guessing there's a bit of a gradient coming out of Grosmont.

[@nymrfootage]

Starts at 1:126 then increases to 1:49 from Esk Valley Cottages until Goathland

[@nigelprince987]

Brilliant video. I used to live in Yorkshire but I am now in New Zealand. Great to see Gods Own again. Please can you add some captions to explain what the driver and fireman are doing. I understand the regulator and I think the steam brake but not sure bout the reverser and injectors? Thanks again.

[@MrDibbsey]

On this loco, the reverser is the wheel directly in front of the driver that you can see being wound. It adjusts the cutoff point for steam entering the cylinders and the direction of travel. The injectors are immediately in front of the fireman, the two black horizontal levers are the water valves, and the brass handles above are the steam. There are two injectors with one steam/water valve each.

Lovely! Shame that the two car DMU seems to be left to rot near Grosmount engine shed! Is it going to be the next "45015"?

[@archmcdonald6170]

Was the section that was driven by the trainee uphill?. It sounded like the loco was working hard, also the trainee fireman was shovelling more coal also.

[@nymrfootage]

The gradient was 1 in 49 uphill. The steepest on the railway. The tight curves at Beck Hole, Green End and Darnholm also make it difficult for the loco to pull a seven coach train

[@nesleinf]

I recognise the steam valve handle and the air brake handle, but all the rest of the wheels and handles are quite a mystery to me 👀

[@algrigg9039]

The wheel in front of him 'notches up' the amount of steam being delivered to the driving cylinders.... as the loco gains speed and momentum, the driver can turn the wheel, which progressively stops the steam from being delivered for the whole length of the piston travel, allowing the admitted superheated steam to expand on its own, and thereby saving steam (and therefore work for the fireman!). A bit like a gearbox on a motor vehicle, actually.

[@nesleinf]

@@algrigg9039 I knew that one (the regulator), wich also changes direction from fwd to backw. I am 69 years old and grew up on a railway station, and therefore occasionally was allowed to try to run the engines as I was a child.

[@crewkerne40]

When this loco worked on Network Rail it was fitted with an air brake system,now I think this system has been removed,the braking system now is vacuum with a steam brake for the loco.Fascinating video,one of the best.

[@MrDibbsey]

​@@nesleinf the wheel is the reverser, which adjusts the steam cut off. The regulator is the handle above which is pulled backwards to open.

[@paulcaswell2813]

@@nesleinfIt's the reverser (the wheel edge-on to the driver) that's responsible for the direction of travel. The regulator only controls the amount of steam entering the steamchests.

[@rnf1227]

It's also a great walk.

[@tidzaboy]

Great video of the footplate...... Q. when the Driver adjusts the Regulator, he always seems to look up at the gauges above his head, but what is he looking at, what info do they tell him?? Joe

[@nymrfootage]

Driver is looking at the steam chest pressure gauge. If pulling away from station or from a standing start you don't want a large gulp of steam to the cylinders as that can cause the loco to slip. Also the driver will periodically glance at all the gauges, pressure, brake water gauges to check everything is ok. Some locos don't have a steam chest pressure gauge so the driver uses their experience when opening the regulator to admit enough steam to the cylinders to move the loco and accelerate but not to over do it and cause the loco to slip.

[@tidzaboy]

[@45428]

Very nice video Iain what was all that noise at the Grosmont groundframe

[@nymrfootage]

Are you referring to the two instances of the loco blowing off. If not, it's probably the mix of the two audio tracks. One from the cab and one from the outside of the loco. If you don't mix the audio tracks together you get a strange mismatch in sound when the video cuts between the cab and outside of the loco. The audio tracks are mixed together to make the sound consistent for the video cuts. The downside is all the sound from outside the loco is mixed with the cab sounds eg steam brake, injectors being used, blowing off, brake ejector. This can make a right old racket in some instances and heighten the sound. The sound could equalised to improve it, but it's a manual process and would takes hours as it would have to be done scene by scene and therefore not done for this video.
