Thanks for the comment. As far as drone footage is concerned, I'm still at the Beginner stage - learning as I go along. It's a totally different skill to ground-based video. I need more practice.
Yes, you're correct. Most of these videos are taken from a "lineside" location and it requires you to have NYMR membership, PTS certification and a Lineside Permit. You need to pay an annual fee for each of these. I possess all three. There are a few locations which you can reach without going lineside.
Excellent video and editing Keith. it must have been a a great experience being there and capturing the moments. man after my own heart. nothing will ever be more pleasurable on the railways seeing the steamers!
This was some years ago, so I'm struggling to remember precisely. From memory, I drove along a road (track) south of the railway, in a west direction. After parking I walked towards the canal and then turned right alongside the canal. At the bridge, I walked up an embankment and took it from there. It's not as close as it appears in the video as it's using a zoon lens.
Spent half of my youth on those jetty’s. There use to be a two small bridges one with steps going over the coal shuts that are no longer there. The big warehouse visible is the famous Dead Bod jetty. Thank you for this video. It’s a moment of time I had always cherished.
Nice footage we were on one of those trains I’m 11 and using my mums account I went out with a friend on one of them on that day great video keep it up!
Hello Louisa. Thank-you for your comments. I hope that you and your friend enjoyed your visit to the NYMR and your journey through what is some of the most outstanding countryside. If you haven’t yet done so, it’s well worth a visit to the railway sheds at Grosmont where all the maintenance and repairs are done. You can get close up and personal with the big locomotives. Keep enjoying the heritage railways. You and other youngsters of your age are our future to ensure that it remains in existence for those who follow my generation.
I remember the LMS inspection saloon in the goods shed at Watford Junction. One could still see every detail of the LMS coat of arms under the thin layer of BR maroon.
