Thank you for indulging him Tim, he loves seeing you when we’re out spotting. 😊 Kate x

[@schoolshorts]

No problem - he adds some fun to the occasion!

[@ThomasHaynes-c9f]

Yet another great video Tm, good too hear your new number one fan!

@@ThomasHaynes-c9f Believe it or not, he's followed my channel since he was two years old!

[@katherinetuck4434]

@@schoolshortshe follows you around the station too, always looks for you.

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

Excellent as always. Nice to see the youngsters getting enthusiastic about these wonderful machines.

[@schoolshorts]

Wait until you see the video from 14th September - the station is awash with kids! Yes, good to see.

[@tattoo1084]

Another good video Tim, good to see a new working through the citadel and a compliment too!👍

[@schoolshorts]

I didn't hear the compliment when it was made - too busy concentrating on the drone (plus increasingly deaf in my old age) but was highly amused when I came upon it during the editing process - compliments from a five-year-old!

[@michaelmiller641]

Thanks for that video, Tim. I love the youngster's interjections!

[@schoolshorts]

They certainly add something to the film!

[@tankmicr00man]

Enjoyed the commentary from your new assistant!

…and yet another great vlog. Thank you so much for the ‘background info’ on some of the steam locomotives…. Always great to see the younger generation taking such an active interest in the hobby too..👍🏻😊

[@katherinetuck4434]

His mama is a rail enthusiast of 30years and can’t keep up with him!

[@279lionel]

Another great video Tim love the drone footage well done keep them coming

[@schoolshorts]

I'll do my best - but - when it's Tangmere, Tangmere and Tangmere yet again - it gets harder to maintain the interest level.

[@cedarcam]

You still made it an enjoyable video even though Tangmere is the main feature yet again.. I like how you showed a bit of her design history as well.

[@schoolshorts]

@@cedarcam It really is getting difficult to maintain the interest with Tangmere appearing so frequently - back again today - so I have to try to introduce something fresh before viewers simply stop watching. I have some ideas for today provided the weather doesn't stop me.

[@cedarcam]

@@schoolshorts I hope it gets better up there It is pouring down down here I saw her departing York on Railcam on time instead of setting off to Leeds for her

[@schoolshorts]

@@cedarcam It's dry here at present and the BBC forecast for the area is not bad so - let's hope!

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Nice one as always Tim, love watching your videos. Your commentary never interrupts the action, unlike some others who talk over the trains that go by. I reccomend visiting Oxenholme and the Windermere branch for the day, as Tangmere is usually attached at Carnforth, so will be accelerating for Shap Summit. Just a suggestion for a future video Best wishes from Joe/NorthernerTransportHub

[@schoolshorts]

Thank you Joe. I'll bear your suggestion in mind - it's a branch I've long wanted to try.

[@FraserWest-um4ue]

Very good Tim and interesting hearing how that type of stream train was built and how it works the other trains were interesting to see as well

[@schoolshorts]

Thank you Fraser - it's getting harder to keep Tangmere interesting when she's here so often.

[@FraserWest-um4ue]

Why is she at Carlisle station so often compared to any other stream train Tim

[@schoolshorts]

West Coast Railways have not fitted their Mark 1 coaches with central locking which is now required by the Office for Road and Rail. The more modern coaches are air-braked and Tangmere is the only steam engine in the WCR fleet fitted with air braking - all their other locos are fitted with vacuum brakes and cannot haul air-braked stock. Other operating companies have fitted their carriages with the required central locking but they don't visit Carlisle so often.

[@FraserWest-um4ue]

Yes I knew about the central locking for the train carriages but there’s a steam train that goes from fort William to the Kyle off lochalsh it’s the on the west coast of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 off Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but the rail operator won’t spend the money 💰 putting the central locking for the train carriages on because of the amount of money so the rail tours are not working this year Tim and might not be for sometime so a diesel class 37 is doing the tour instead of the steam train

[@FraserWest-um4ue]

Tim just seen a video of the other 9 bullied steam trains they are all different but worth seeing that’s for sure

[@macjim]

How much did you pay him, Tim? 🥸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤣
