Hi. I am a railway enthusiast of over 50 years ( with a mid life distraction break ). My main interests are steam , early / vintage diesels /electrics, and old railway architecture. Also, having been a farmer for half my working life, I have a great interest in agricultural machinery, so these may feature in my videos as well. Other videos will feature boats/ships, planes and nature.
great ticket. your camera work is outstanding and your shots from inside the carriage add atmosphere to your trip. you even make the Liverpool underground interesting. in fact I did not even realise there is one.
Looks like you had a great day Phil. Brilliant shots and captures there. Nice to see 69001 in Tuebrook. Another gooden from you! Nice to see you for the 86s as well. Very nice indeed! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing!
Fantastic video! Looks like you had a great day out and certainly made the most of the ranger, the Footex was pick of the day for me. Seems to be a typo in the description, unless they're now including time machines to 2025 with the rangers 🤣
What a cracking video and show from the pair of S160s Phil, plenty of grunt too lovely stuff, need to visit again soon as not been on the steep climb, Steve . 😊👍
Thanks Steve, a great show! Yes, well worth going up the steep bank. It's like 2 different railways, a gentle trip through the valley, then a battle up to Ipstones 👍😀
Dirty devils😃 I visited the Churnett Valley in April, expecting a steady bumble along the valley, which on the whole it was.... then we turned sharp right and all hell broke loose, brilliant. An interesting railway.... track wants a bit of fettling up the bank but definitely worth the ride😎👍
Fantastic sound. Looks like they were working hard on a steep gradient. The line is not easy for me to get to, I would like to see what it's really like there.
It was, and they were Colin! I in 39 at the steepest. I'm sure you would enjoy it, but as you say, not the easiest to get to, by public transport. About an hour's drive for me, but each time I've been I've got lost somewhere
@@philclarke3203 That is steep 1:49 on NYMR is gentle compared to that. Shame it is out of the way and not many busses go near, also they go from Hanley so would mean getting there from Stoke.
Lovely stuff Phil; it’s great to see and hear something different (the S160s) to the usual fare. The sound of them working together is amazing, I love how the exhaust beats slip in and out of sync; like something written by Steve Reich. And the sound of an American chime whistle echoing through the countryside! Absolutely brilliant.
I would have waited for Pendennis Castle to take me back, on the return journey, If I'd been there. Rule no. 1: when an S160 hauls your train, stay at the very back so the chime whistle isn't so loud down your ears. You can capture her if you want, but no zooming in, if there are too many heads in shot. It's better that way and less risk of earache. Rule no. 2: stay at the end of the line till a different steamy, like Pendennis Castle, comes along. You can be at the front of the train on the way back, and listen to her bark and shrill whistle loud and proud. That's the way to do it when it comes to a steam gala.
Only one problem Kelly! You can't get off the train at the end of the line. No station, just a run around loop. I prefer the middle of the train, and get the best of both worlds, apart from a few heads maybe lol.
I'm sure that HST was playing peek a boo with you. I'm getting to like the Class 40 and the whistler title is very apt. That GWR carriage is amazing and I loved the clarity of your zooming into its emblem 👍

excellent shot 👍saw it go through harrow and wealdstone and when I got back it was in platform 16 at London euston but was told by the driver it wasn't going out until 19:00 to Wembley Central
Great footage there Phil. Yes I must've been just next to you at Stockport. You did well getting this. Very nice indeed! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing! All the best, Jamie
Great shots which is what you always get on this channel and I just LOVE the Bulleid Pacifics actually saw them on BR at Exeter Central I was small then.... And a dazzling array of motive power at Crewe 👍👍
