Good Gracious, these trains are breathtaking!! They pass by the seconds... I´ve never seen anything like this on film. It taught me how dramatic fast speed is. THANK YOU WERRRY MUCH!!!

[@Linesider1]

Thank you very much, greatly appreciated! Hard to beat steam at speed!

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

It’s like 1960s all over again with mainline steam locomotives whizzing through Penrith at very high speed

[@trw1089]

Ok, that’s it, I’ve found the perfect steam video. I’ve always loved the shots at Penrith, but that compilation is just fantastic! Thanks for putting this one together David, definitely my favourite so far. Cheers Tony

[@Linesider1]

Thank you very much Tony, that's very kind and glad you enjoyed it so much. Always exciting to see them flying around that bend!

[@rjas365]

What an excellent compilation, David, and very clear shots... actually incredibly clear, given the speed! I liked the extra perspective of the on-board sequences. Kind regards, Bob.

[@Linesider1]

Thanks very much Bob, much appreciated. Some good memories over the years and usually a good test of my panning arm and eyes!

What an amzing compilation! Fantastic viewing... with just a little imagination, remove the OLE, go into b/w images and this compilation could be a typical day at Penrith from the 50s which Bishop Treacy would recognise; bar the odd LNER interloper (!) perhaps on diversion over the Eden Valley line, Penrith to Darlington..... Thanks for editing and publishing this film, very much appreciated.

Thank you very much for your lovely comment, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it so much.

Excellent collection David, always a great Station to catch steam at speed and some great onboard shots.

[@Linesider1]

Many thanks Nige, the curve definitely adds to the drama, and such a good looking station, particularly before the footbridge went in.

Excellent video, David . . . no-one does it better than you . . . not even close. The pure artistry of your composition is mesmerizing . . . from an ex-pat railway artist and member of the Guild of Railway Artists who exhibits in London, New York and here in Vancouver.

Thank you very much again Roger, and apologies for the slow reply - KZbin notifications don't seem to be as reliable as they once were. That's very kind and lovely to read - I've looked you up and am looking forward to watching a virtual conversation you took part in; it makes quite a difference to know about your work and makes me appreciate your comments even more. Best wishes, David.

[@rogermclaren186]

Wow. Memories of the happy hours spent on Penrith station in the 1950s watching the steamers powering their way through.

[@Linesider1]

Thanks Roger, glad it brought back happy memories.

[@michaeltaylor1869]

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

2:46 looks like Galatea is trying to show everyone why jubilees are always great at flooring through Penrith at very high speed as it did in the 1960s

[@CrossfellRailwayVideos]

A classic collection, David! Many thanks.

[@Linesider1]

Many thanks Alan, much appreciated. Nice going through them again and recalling some happy memories.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

That’s a perfect passenger view of 60009 the foreigner of this route whizzing through at speed

[@Linesider1]

Many thanks Scott, fond memories of that run and performance from no.9.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

@@Linesider1 yeah David

[@EMuksteam]

Excellent compilation David. Capture the locos at speed. Onboard clips were brilliant. Kind regards C&A

[@Linesider1]

Many thanks C&A, happy memories from the trips behind no.9. Kevin Treeby and his fireman had her well and truly flying on the February run.

[@acw71000]

I've always enjoyed your shots at Penrith David, great selection here

[@Linesider1]

Many thanks Austin, somebody (a non enthusiast) once asked me why I didn't just go to the NRM if I wanted to see steam engines; hopefully performances like these would explain why!

[@midgersphotography8164]

The shot taken of the duchess over the motorway flyover where was that taken please

[@doctordave12]

how do u get to that shot at 2:17 been around Penrith before and could only see the station as a decent shot but others keep finding places like 0:33

[@TheStephengthompson]

Brilliant as ever David, can’t beat steam at speed and I remember Galatea in the last bit one shot as I was stood next to you 😂🚂

[@Linesider1]

Many thanks Steve, can't believe that's getting on for 3 years ago, scary!

なめからに走る蒸気機関車、素晴らしいです

[@Linesider1]

ありがとう-蒸気機関が生き残ったのはとても幸運です。

[@paveloleynikov4715]

What speeds that beauties reached in normal routes? Incredibly fast and steady runs

[@Linesider1]

All of the engines in this video are allowed to run at 75 mph (except the black 5s, which are permitted to run at 60 mph). In steam days, they would have been allowed to do more although there has always been a slight speed restriction at Penrith. Many thanks for your comment.

[@woj2663]

To jest prawdziwa , tętniąca życiem kolej.

[@Linesider1]

Dziękuję za komentarz - zgadzam się, to jedna z dwóch głównych tras północ-południe przez Wielką Brytanię i świetne miejsce do zobaczenia pary.
