Excellent compilation of the year Steve, it worked out better than expected considering the stock issues and some visiting favourites certainly helped and what we do without the trio of Black 5s always there when you need them, cheers 👍

Great memories from this year Steve, Tangmere comes to mind, but of coarse looking back there was in fact a great selection of locos, all filmed very nicely too, looking forward to next year 2025, cheers and all the best for the new year, cheers Stephen . 🙂🎥👍

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Steve , considering the situation we had a pretty decent year steam wise 👍Hope to see you lineside in 2025 .

Excellent compilation Steve. Always great to see the Christmas highlights of the year. Shame there wasn't more chime whistle locos. Well done, let's hope you get to video some more great steam performances in 2025..🤓🤓

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Anthony, hopefully Blue Peter and the Dule of Gloucester might be over Shap next year 🤞🎥

[@Gary-V16]

That's the stuff for the troops, most excellent. New game: headphones on and all amplification to Marshall's Tweed mode. Best wishes SGT, and thank you.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Cheers Gary , can’t beat the volume turned up 👍😂

[@eaglesfield102]

What a great collection of videos. When you look back over the year you tend to think it was not one of the best years for steam. However this video makes you realise how lucky we are to still be seeing so much steam in 2024 in some stunning locations. Happy New Year Steve, look forward to meeting up with you somewhere out there on the mainline in 2025.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Alistair , it was better than it could’ve been that’s for sure so hopefully 2025 might be better 🤞

Great round-up for 2024. Hopefully more in 2025.👍

[@TheStephengthompson]

Cheers David, hopefully a few different locomotives will be available next year 👍

[@laurieharper1526]

Great stuff. You always know when it's Tangmere in the distance because of the massive amounts of smoke and steam it produces.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Laurie , you’re right about that 😂👍

[@michaeltaylor1869]

Very well done Stephen with excellent camera work there is a steam light engine movement Keighley and worth valley railway to Carnforth steamtown via Giggleswick on New years eve but I don't what loco it is and whose driving please can you find out for me please bye for now Philip Ps thank you very much for all your support and updates much appreciated

[@michaeltaylor1869]

@lnerrules-iw6ry thanks for letting me know do you know who will be on the footplate bye for now Philip

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks Philip , pleased you enjoyed the video and like the comment below its 44932 returning to Carnforth but not sure of the crew yet .

[@lnerrules-iw6ry]

@michaeltaylor1869 Unfortunately no, my apologies

[@CollinBlack-j1y]

When will they learn to film the train and rotate the camera with the train. Otherwise the loco's sound nice like they should.

[@TheStephengthompson]

Thanks for the comment Collin . 99% of my locations make it impossible to pan around due to many factors. Possibly one or two could be possible but as I have my microphone in a blimp and on a long cable the sound wouldn’t follow even if I turned the camera 🤷
