Hi, My channel is a collection of videos of Railways both Modern and Steam and also different forms of oval motorsport from Brisca to Bangers. My Flickr Photo Site is at www.flickr.com/photos/981smithy/
My comeback meeting. Hadn't been regularly for about 15 years. Never missed a meeting at Coventry after this one. Great days and a huge crowd. Loved it 😀
This is one of my favorite Steam videos that I've been watching since I was 8 and 9 years old, in 2013 and 2014. Thanks for sharing my friend and greetings. 👋 LIKE. 👍
I thought I remembered Mat Newson racing a WF with no airfoil like he did this year. That cars been going a long time now still fast car. Mat just has no luck in championship events!
The fact that Galatea was even making headway up shap WITH LOAD 11 without a banker is credit to the crew on her footplate that day. Asking Jubilee to tackle shap with load 11 with a banker would be hard. Without one it's amazing she was still storming up it.
A great piece of film, love the sound of the lovelly Napiers, this is my favourite location in this country,love the desolate countryside. Just wondering do you know the name of the bag-pipe tune by any chance thank you.
Don't forget boys its 90 mph line speed max up the old girl... Mind you flying up there in the Pendo's is easy peasy but with nearly 8000 hp on tap well I rest my case...
An amazing film - thanks for editing and sharing this compilation. Rather than the nuts and bolts close up of many films, you have kept a distance and under different lighting and weather conditions have really shown the power and "life" of the steam locomotive in the context of its natural surroundings. Fantastic! and a BIG thank you!
As romantic as steam is, for sheer efficiency and passenger speed you can see why on routes like this diesel and electric were needed and had to be if you were going to revive the railways.
Those were the days. I pass by this stadium most days - of course, it's been closed since 1997 and been a housing estate since 2010. A ghastly fate for such a great venue. Superb footage here - I presume it's some kind of cine-film? Clips like this are invaluable in preserving heritage and history. Long Eaton was such a great track. 175 takes the chequered flag - that would have been Glyn Pursey from Bromham, Bedfordshire. 2nd - No.68? was Allan Wilson from newton Aycliffe 3rd - No.395 was Mike Shirley from Coventry.
They are excellent memories and to take a positive out of events I can't believe I will be walking throw the gates at Odsal again in a few weeks watching the V8's thundering again.
