Excellent video Austin. Brilliant sound you captured and with lots of exhaust. That was well worth it in that weather. Best wishes C&A 😊

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks very much, it was a foul morning but the rain had eased a bit by the time Clun came

@Linesider1 Год назад

Fabulous sight, expertly panned as ever with high quality balanced sound, Austin. Wonderful to see this run after a long time waiting, brought back very happy memories of 6024 on the line in 1998.

Many thanks David, it certainly wasn't the shot I'd planned but getting anything in that dreadful weather was a bonus. It would be good to see the King back up here once the restoration is completed

@nige7577 Год назад

Excellent shot in challenging conditions Austin accompanied by a cracking soundtrack, cheers 👍

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks Nige, bit of a last resort shot really, not ideal with the road noise

@JamesandPeter Год назад

Excellent shot there Austin, always nice to see a castle on the S&C. Regards James

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks James, a great shame that the outward run took place under such horrible conditions. I hope one of the Castles gets another outing up here

Austin, An excellent capture despite the adverse weather conditions. Regards, John

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks John, it was a horrible morning and I was fortunate to capture this record shot

Excellent video of Clun Castle in action Austin. Great exhaust. The wind was in your favour. Regards, Dave.

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks Dave, definitely needed the wind blowing that way to avoid raindrops on the lens. A foul morning!

@rjas365 Год назад

Austin, the weather may have been dismal but the video certainly wasn't! A superb capture of Clun Castle performing as well as ever. Kind regards, Bob

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks Bob, hope you're keeping well. It's just a shot for the record really, didn't get to the spot I'd planned as our wet gear which I thought was in the car was sitting at home! This location allowed us to sit in the car until the train was due

@khankadet Год назад

No other word other than excellent as several people have already said Austin. Lovely steady performance from loco and crew superbly captured in those horrible conditions. Shame we don't see her in the fells more often despite the distance from Tyseley. Take care - Chris

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks Chris, it wasn't the planned shot so we went to this spot thinking that if the rain hadn't gone off we'd at least be able to film from the car but it didn't turn out too bad

@TheStephengthompson Год назад

Lovely sounds from 7029 Austin in less than ideal conditions ☹️☔️

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks Steve, less than ideal is putting it mildly I think!

@lnerrules-iw6ry Год назад

Excellent footage there Austin off Clun. Nice to see it back on the S & C.

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks, from a standing start at Settle Junction she did well. How are you doing?

@lnerrules-iw6ry Год назад

@@acw71000 I'm ok thanks

@allthingstrainsuk Год назад

Great video Austin. We saw Clun Castle further up the line approaching Ribblehead 😊

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks, what a horrible morning it was! Fortunately it had eased a bit by the time the train came

@allthingstrainsuk Год назад

@acw71000 yes indeed. When we saw it leave Appleby and at Great Strickland, the weather had brightened up 😊

@joshhemingwaythewlismetcalfe96 Год назад

Brillant video

@acw71000 Год назад

Thank you, not the shot I'd planned but at least I managed this short clip

@SimonTog Год назад

Good video Austin :)

@acw71000 Год назад

Many thanks

@tattoo1084 Год назад

Good filming Austin, wasn't the best morning but good to see a rarity. Snapped her at Settle junction.👍

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks David, so you will have got a good shot of her leaving after the signal check

@tattoo1084 Год назад

@@acw71000 yes plenty of puff.

@SecondValveSteam Год назад

Excellent video. 7029 making a fine noise over the long drag. Might be able to ask which camcorder you use? The clarity as you pan and zoom is exceptional. Many thanks.

@acw71000 Год назад

Hi Cameron. I'm currently using a Sony AX700. 7029 certainly performed well over the S & C and Shap

@stephensmith799 Год назад

Swindon exhaust: clear even chunks without any woolliness. (I have read that Halls are better hill climbers but I’m not so sure that can be true.)

@acw71000 Год назад

More textbook firing I think. A signal check at Settle Junction meant she couldn't get a run at the bank so a great performance from the crew given greasy rails
