Steve, A great day indeed and nicely captured. Regards, John

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks John, an interesting day indeed, cheers Steve .

[@deauvilledad07]

Really nice video Steve. Great capture of 47815 waiting for the special to pass. Well done 🤓

[@stephenbrass1808]

I had seen the 47 move on RTT and thought i had got ahead of it but after waiting for five mins i decided to go to the junction and it was waiting there, i think it caught everyone by surprise the steam coming of at Hellifield , cheers Steve .

[@tattoo1084]

Good job Steve. Like the second location at the junction and a bonus with the 47 too. 😀👍

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks David, yes nice to catch the 47, shame i missed the steam sneaking back via the Bentham line, caught everyone out , cheers . 👍

[@bobnweaver]

Another superb video of Tangmere Steve. Cheers, Jeff.

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks very much Jeff, it was nice to have a dry day for a change .

[@khankadet]

Thanks for sharing Steve. Love the billowing exhaust in the first shot and an interesting location at Settle Junction. Take care - Chris

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks Chris, an interesting day all in i would say, sometimes things work out others days not so, do like Settle junction, but care with parking and not upsetting the farmer . 🤔

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

some good catches there Steve. Tangmere was certainly throwing out the smoke. At one point WCR were going to send the 47 to Carlisle which might have delayed things even further.

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks Les it was an interesting day, but dry for a change

[@theretrocrowe]

Some fantastic footage regardless of the disruption, would've seen this myself if it didn't clash with the East Lancs Diesel Gala

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks , gather the Diesel gala was only saturday with mixed traffic on sunday, hope ot was a good un, cheers 🙂

[@russb2286]

I was at the gala

[@philclarke3203]

Great video Steve. Tangmere going well in the first shot. Nice shot of the 47 waiting for Tangmere to pass

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks Phil, it was nice to catch the waiting 47 it just made the picture, cheers Steve .

[@acw71000]

Nice shots Steve, these runs seem to suffer from all sorts of problems lately. Like the Settle Junction shot of it at speed

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks Austin, lets hope third time lucky, i hear the black 5 will be haulling this next tour this weekend .

[@nige7577]

Nice one Steve, much improved condition but issues causing another delay, we’re your first two shots at the Milnthorpe trading estate, sadly the delay played havoc with the light on the Hellifield departures, cheers👍

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks Nige, yes Milnthorpe old station, the second cam was right side of the light when i set up but had moved round to the other side, not happy with my 1st shot as a bit shakey, shame about the issues again today, third time lucky 🤞cheers Steve . 👍

[@grahamhall5211]

Nice them Steve at settle Jn 😊

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanksn Graham, strange light on the return today, nice to catch a fine day, shame i missed the returning steam from Hellifield .

[@joestrainworldvideos3977]

Great catch. Wonderful video. Greetings Joe 😊

[@stephenbrass1808]

thanks for watching Joe, cheers . 🙂

[@stephenclay2400]

Enjoyable video of Tangmere

[@stephenbrass1808]

thanks Stephen . 🙂

[@thirdengineer]

Nicely filmed Steve cant understand what the delay was at Canforth on the way up and did not expect it to come off at Hellifield where i filmed the change? Brian

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks Brian, hope you are well, heard it took time to take the steam off at carnforth to water and coal up, and lok water pressure on the return, but don't know if ither is true 🤔

[@highpeaklad]

On the train we were told low water pressure during refilling at Carnforth caused the delay.

[@russb2286]

👍

[@stephenbrass1808]

cheers Russb2286 👍

[@paullloyd6821]

Good video, very enjoyable 👍

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks very much, stay tuned, cheers . 🙂

[@grahamsymons1513]

Is the diesel on the back helping or is it just being pulled along

[@stephenbrass1808]

Well Graham, its definitely helping at that speed, but the diesel is reguired for shunting etc, cheers .

[@landhopper4296]

Where’s the junction which had the 47 waiting please? Never seen that before!

[@stephenbrass1808]

thanks landhopper4296, 1st location was Milnthorpe on the WCML and the second was at Settle Junction on the S&C, cheers 🙂

[@landhopper4296]

@@stephenbrass1808thanks!

[@stephenbrass1808]

If you decide to go there don't block the farmers drive, it is a private drive onto the bridge, so just be aware, cheers .@@landhopper4296

[@melvynwoodman5787]

Catenary!!! Grrrrr I hate it.

[@stephenbrass1808]

I know what you mean, thanks

[@kipsome45]

Hard to beat a Spamcan at full cry for visual and aural drama.

[@stephenbrass1808]

No dought if you like the spamcams you will be seeing more of it than normal for a while, 34037 was doing the majority of the work on Shap bank .

[@railwaymechanicalengineer4587]

A FARCICAL CON !!! You pay a lot of money for a supposed "Steam train ride" only to find they have added a DIESEL loco to the train, which quite clearly is doing a good 50% OF THE WORK as you can hear the diesel roaring past the camera!!! So just when life gets interesting going up hills like Shap with a steam loco, where the engine would have to work hard and give out a thunderous continuous roar, with huge smoke effects. The Diesel provides most of the power. So the steam loco has to do little work, and can almost saunter up the Hill. Without the normal grand smoke & sounds effects, you would have seen on this gradient in steam days. It also means that professional train timers cannot time the train & work out how much power the steam loco is exerting, or exact speeds over any quarter mile section. Indeed putting a heavy vehicle on the rear of a train (unless banking on gradients) was forbidden in BR days, because its DANGEROUS. So I certainly would never waste my money on such a Farcical CON. Much better in Germany were steam excursions don't have Diesels attached, and as seen on a number of occasions have reached speeds approaching a 100mph. Indeed the 02.0201 Pacific has reached 106mph in preservation (it has achieved speeds as high as 113.3mph in East German Railways service in the 1960's) It also has the largest driving wheels fitted to ANY Pacific of 7ft 6in. NOTE: I began Driving steam back in the 1970's before becoming a Qualified Locomotive Mechanical Engineer, & I've worked for many Railways around the World.

[@stephenbrass1808]

Thanks very much for your interesting comment, i like fellow enthusiasts are all to aware of the situation now, with diesels pushing partly for the time restraint on running on busy main lines, shunting and some times heating and lighting . It is not the same to watch now as it was and many people have stopped going on the tours for the reason you said, me i don't do so many now as you cannot go near the windows in the corridoors even with the health and saftey going way overboard now, thanks Steve . 👍
