[@craigpennington1251]

These guys are cruisin. Absolutely perfect. Big thanks for NOT adding music. I do remember seeing these when I was little.

[@brianfoster7794]

Great video thank you. My favourite locomotive brings back memory’s from my childhood always loved the sound of the 5s good old British engineering at its finest.

[@ropatidee5427]

Superb! I grew up in the steam era and have always missed those trains.

[@niwty]

Living breathing machines. How anyone could fail to feel the majesty and power in these fantastic manmade beasts is beyond me. Fabulous video, thank you for sharing and reminding me of my youth again. 👍

[@ufx808]

Living, breathing machines. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Beautiful Video Top notch loved every moment thanks for sharing.

[@andrewdarley8988]

Fitting tribute to one of the most successful, versatile and sheer hardworking designs in British Steam engine history. Lovely to see them in tandem.

[@stanislausdsilva6514]

Superb rhythm I loved the acoustic of 2 five S loco, thanks for sharing David

[@30453trains]

I've spent a few early mornings at Manchester Victoria watching these two Black Fives do their stuff, always worth turning up for. Great footage.

[@yingyang7737]

Thanks for sharing this best video on Trains ever.

[@57Jimmy]

Nothing beats the pure beauty, raw power and visual proof of the power generated by steam locomotives! In Duncan/North Cowichan BC they still have a running 1910 steam train that takes you on a trip through the forest museum!

[@kenkramer6529]

Oh my gosh, this is wonderful!

Super compilation David of two of the most reliable locos in the country

[@Linesider1]

Thanks very much Austin - they have put in so many memorable performances and I agree with you that 44871 seems a little louder than most!

[@cak8132]

What a sound!! Fantastic. Beautiful train.

[@user-jx9eh9ox9q]

Back when I was in my late teens and early 20's I worked on both of these locos at Steamtown Carnforth. I wasn't allowed to fire or drive them, that was for the big boys. I had to clean them inside and out. I was part of the Black Hand Gang. But I was able to ride behind them on the first and very early days of them being allowed back on to BR tracks. Stunning locos. Worked their guts out. I am nearly 70 now. Great to see them still working their guts out. ( in the very early days they worked together but tender to tender to Ravenglass and back )

[@DefaultString]

great winter weather movie! very lovely and also amazing sound

[@helthuismartin]

The most beautifull You Tube video i have ever seen.

[@librisfidelis793]

This winter double-header in England is delightful as these thirteen cars are giving these two steam locomotives a real working load to pull! With excellent skill these two engineers are able to get the train up the grade to more level track where the speed can finally get up to where the horsepower can finally achieve its superiority over the train. And especially please note that the two firemen are not over-firing (using too much coal) for the camera... what we see is primarily the steam exhaust in cold weather... as it really was back in the days of steam!

[@pattibrooks1907]

I love the sounds of a train or trains its so relaxing and calming too !!

[@andyhaslam9231]

Great footage and you can not beat the smell off a steam train as it goes past you as you look down from the bridge. It is a sight and smell that takes you right back. Once again fantastic footage of 2 steam giants

[@donsinclair2219]

Yes it sure is a great bit of film, you guys have done a excellent job in recording it all, those two steam engine are just work great, thank you from NZ

[@Ferndalien]

Which brings up some interesting (to me, anyway) questions: how did they balance the load, the pulling force, between the two locomotives? Did they try? Did it matter?

[@garryferrington811]

I never imagined the 5's could run like that! I'm envious that you got to experience it.

[@royfearn4345]

They and the Jubilees were the mainstay of passenger work on the Midland Mainline in the 50s and 60s and they could both run like the wind.

[@martinejoseph1644]

C'est beau et bien filmé !!!! Un bonjour de FRANCE ; Oh des canards col vert !!! Ces trains Anglais , j'adore !!! Merci ! le 12/12/17 ( Vesoul )

[@WINCHANDLE]

With all the steam & smoke and reciprocating tie rods, rhythmic cylinders pushing the wheels around, and long string of rail cars, one gets a good perception of how much work is being done by the steam engine. Powerful. With diesels and electric locomotives you don't get a sense of the enormous amount of work being performed. Steam locomotives have a heart beat, and that's why we still cherish them.

[@brockbest]

Fantastic , Thanks.
