It's obvious whoever took these pictures is not a steam train enthusiast you can tell by the angles that the pictures were taken to this photographer when you're taking pictures of something like this you need to take pictures of such things as the shape size of cylinders how the boilers mounted is it mounted on a frame or are the hardware directly mounted to the boilers that's what you need to be taking pictures of the controls the type and size of Wheels and their locations and tons of other things that pointing the camera at the front end of a steam engine all you're looking at is down the boiler you need to be taking pictures of the mechanics does the train have suspension or is it mounted directly on the frame all those things are the important things about a train you're not taking pictures of deer for taking pictures of 100-year-old piece of mechanical art and 19th century an engineering that's what we're interested in not what color cows scooper is
I do remember the days of steam, but not how great steam locomotives are. I was only 8 years old at the time and didn't understand that they would dissappear, thank goodness for railway preservation societys up and down the country. A fantastic opportunity to relive the romance of steam, a great day out.
Wonderful film. Great to see the whole route in order from the lineside and that last shot at Bewdley going South is superb. Very well done. Cheers and keep up the great work - Alex.
I love the setup of the camera. I felt excited hearing the train coming and though it was going to be moving faster. There was plenty of time watching it come into view. Great video

Does any other nation have steam engines that make such a revolting squeal when you pull the whistle? I know its not all british engines that sound terrible.
Didn’t British Rail use this as part of its route on the overnight Wales ie Cardiff to Paddington milk train in the sixties? The journey took four or five hours so can anyone help?
My great uncle flew lancasters with 49 squadron. He was a wirelss opperator. He and all but one of his crew were killed on a raid. Thank you gentlemen for what you did during the war and thank you for remembering those who never came home. We will remember them.
Stevensons link motion is very common on traction engines, but you don't see it on railway locos very often. They usually opted for something that only needed one link, rather than a pair. Keep the width down. Nice old machine. It'll be back.
