The Winter of 2023 saw the return of Vintage Train's ever-popular "Polar Express". Based on the titular 2004 film, this festive itinerary consists of several round trips a day in the run up to Christmas, operating between Birmingham Moor Street and Dorridge. GWR 'Castle' 4-6-0 No. 7029 'Clun Castle' was allocated to work these trains during the first two weekends of the 2023 season.
On the 2nd of December, I decided to pay a visit to Widney Manor in order to film 7029 in charge of one of VT's "Polar Express" excursions. In wintry conditions with plenty of frost, we see Tyseley's flagship 'Castle' accelerating away from Dorridge with plenty of noise and exhaust, before charging past towards the station, with a cracking blast on its whistle to boot!

Great video Adam, very atmospheric, specially with the frost. Kind regards, Jake.

Thank you for watching Jake, your comments are most appreciated. I'm glad I could get this particular working, as I do like a bit of variety with regards to atmospheric shots, and the frosty conditions meant that this one proved no exception! I was pleased we got a good whistle courtesy of the crew, at the right moment for a 'doppler effect' too; I've waited ages to get that on film! Kind regards, Adam 🙂

Cracking stuff Adam, it was very frosty for you there too! You got a great whistle as well. Regards, Dan

Thank you kindly for watching Dan, I'm glad you enjoyed this one. The frosty conditions on location greatly enhanced the wintry atmosphere, I'd like to think; perfectly befitting of a video focused on the "Polar Express". Aye, I was very pleased to have received such a cracking whistle, perfect timing for a 'doppler effect' no less; it comes after quite the lengthy wait to catch that on film! Suffice to say, I'd consider this one of the highlights of the year from my point of view, no doubt in my mind at least. Kind regards, Adam 🙂

Great video 👍. I saw this last weekend in the same location with some absolutely brilliant sun!

@85ASteam 8 месяцев назад

Thank you kindly for watching, I greatly appreciate your feedback too. Yes, I did have a quick look at your video whilst researching the location, and I was impressed by your camera work in that sequence. I'm glad I visited this location too, as I'd consider this shot as one of the highlights of the year where filming was concerned! I will of course have a proper look at your own video too. Kind regards, Adam 🙂
