What a superb collection! I cannot imagine the effort, miles and time it took to assemble this video. As an audio engineer I know how many thing are outside your control when trying to shoot videos like this. Quite the best I have ever listened to. Thank you so much!
David, thanks for your kind feedback. Filming scenes like these is never straightforward, as it's now become a spectator sport due to media coverage but thankfully we have plenty of countryside to escape in and capture some decent soundtracks from time to time.
I notice that the soundtrack is mono, was that a deliberate choice or mixed down from stereo for this this version? Not a criticism just an observation!
@@davidshaw9806 The audio is raw and taken straight from my external microphone via my video cameras and there has been no mixing in editing. What you hear is what was captured. Regards, Liam
@@MarshSteamVideosTM Just uploaded mine last night. Tell me what you think of my effort ☺️. Was a treat for my 50th birthday ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wv2ifTu9b78.html
The beauty about these trains are, you hear the chugging sound, then you see the smoke, then at last the train itself. It's just glorious. Hats off to you for getting all these videos.
Few things stir my soul like the sight and sound of a hard-working steam locomotive. British steam is so elegant and classy. American railroads have nearly abandoned running steam anymore. Thank goodness, the British still revere their heritage where one can still see, hear, smell and ride behind steam.
Depends on the railroad. Norfolk Southern and Burlington Northern Santa Fe will allow steam movements on their rails, schedules permitting, and there are numerous tourist railroads that operate them. Some, like the Strasbourg, even do steam-powered revenue freight work, still. And then, of course, there’s the Union Pacific Steam Program, with the Living Legend UP #844, UP #3985, and the Big Boy UP #4014. But yes, the major railroads do seem to be ignoring the lessons of the Southern and Norfolk Southern Steam Programs about the value of steam power for public relations.
@@yuanovitafitria8968 most of them run coal occasionally some will burn wood, ive been around a few back in the day but don't remember a distinct smell
There are still steam powered trains but its not wide spread. we have a train local to me in PA that runs a track from Reading pa to jim Thorpe pa. Its more of a sight seeing thing with the benefits of hitting the shops of a small town. Its really popular in fall when the leaves in the mountians change colors and they do christmas themed runs in the winter.
It almost brings a tear to my eye when I see and hear these beautiful machines, from the steam pistons chatting and the sound of the whistle. When they blow their whistle... they are simply saying: "Hey I'm Alive" and they all have their own characters and personality. Fantastic video and hats-off to you sir :-)
I started watching this with my young granddaughter who’d never seen nor heard a steam train in her life. She now only want to watch videos of steam trains, as do I and we’ve arranged a future trip on the Flying Scotsman. Thank you so much for this video which she’s now watched every single day for the last two weeks, as have I. 👍😊👍
I have watched railway videos from around the world but you just cannot beat the sight and sound of British steam, especially when you get an absolutely top notch compilation like this. Superb !!!
I am so pleased this video popped up on my feed. Nostalgic, timeless, great memories of a bygone age, when the pace was a lot slower than it is now. Thank-you.
You did, believe me. Memories of climbing up the bridge, so I could look over at the steam trains climbed through Kibworth cutting, and getting a face full of smuts to go to school with. Lovely times.
This is wonderful. My grandfather lived somewhere in the West Midlands, I don't know what borough. He was a brakeman, I think. He loved it. My grandmother would recite all his stories. What a life then. What a life.
CONGRATULATIONS on creating one of the best Steam compilations on RU-vid. Amazing sound quality supported by fabulous film footage; simply brilliant. THANK YOU.
What outstanding work! The clarity and crispness of both your video and audio are unmatched anywhere on the web. Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to film, edit and upload.
Years ago you could buy "Sounds of Steam" LPs, this collection puts me in mind of listening to those in the 1970s, wishing I had been born a few years earlier. Great sound punctuated by bird song, lovely thankyou.
There is a such a CD available from the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society which might interest you. It’s called “Symphony of Steam”, and features various recordings of the Nickel Plate Road 765, which just happens to be owned and operated by that very same group.
As a Canadian American and a devotee of many fan trips in both counties this was a delight to hear, as I recorded many over the years. The thing I find the most fascinating to listen for is the distinctive beat of a three cylinder locomotive, something one never hears in NA. When their timing is dead on and there is no distinctive lope, it is very hard to define at high speed.
Ne güzel makinalardı bu lokomotifler.. her tarafı ayrı bir mühendislikve mekanizma harikası. Adeta yaşayan ve, her tarafı ayrı güzeldi.Yol sesleri, düdükleri, buhar atmaları hepsi ayrı güzeldi.. Yok ettik bunları, sanki dünyayı kirleten sadece bunlardı ..
A fantastic collection. Thanks very much for compiling. The winning shot for me was Lizzie blasting out of the mist. Wonderfully atmospheric, but the Earl on Sapperton, and Leander at Miles Platting were superb performances as well.
Thank you for sharing these exceptional scenes. Well composed and shot. And yes, the sounds are tremendous. Loved the scene of the 8F at Ais Gill, superb. And some nostalgia for me. Having never been across the pond, 4472 came to me in 1970. I had the opportunity to take a short, few hundred yards, footplate ride on the Flying Scotsman. It was five dollars for only a few minutes, but wow, a memory I will not forget.
Hello, this is a long comment but here goes: I live in South Africa, there used to be a decent steam culture here but that has gone down massively in the last few decades. I've recently started looking at steam trains after re-watching Thomas the tank engine for the fist time in over 7 years, and I'm truly saddened by the fact that one day my kids won't be able to see such magnificent creatures in my beloved home country. It's just become too expensive for anyone but a few companies to maintain and keep some engines running, mostly for tourism. I myself have only been on a train once (that may or may not have been steam it's so long ago that me and my parents don't quite remember) and the rail infrastructure in SA is so damaged from theft, abuse and neglect that I doubt I'll ever see a working engine of any sort here ever again without at least some travel. That being said, I will be going to university in the UK in about a year, and I am so excited to see steamies in their natural habitat and possibly even go on one (darn it I'm getting slightly emotional) and finally enjoy the wonder of steam engines myself. I have heard that it is quite expensive but I want to do this for myself. For showing me the beauty of these trains and their lovely surroundings, and letting a young man know that a childhood dream that has long been dimished is still alive and chuffing along: I thank you.
I was bought up on steam, Dad and me used to go to traction engine rallys and Dad knew the owner of the Bluebell line, I have driven the main engine of the line really great feeling to be in charge of all that power, but for me it was the smell of the steam the coal burning in the fire box and the smell of a well oiled engine 😀 i just was in my own heaven at the age of 14 ,but I'm still a big fan of steam and now Dad has gone I've got lovely memories 😀 👍
Admiración hacía los trenes antiguos qué son y siguen cumpliendo sus servicio a su población lejanos, es para no perder ésta súper máquinas y sonidos del siglo pasado. Mí admiración con éste vídeo👍💚💙💚🔊🚂.
I remember as a kid my dad getting me on a steam powered train somewhere. I remember just how gentle the ride was. I had trouble staying awake because the soft rocking and noise puts you right to sleep.
Some fantastic shots... and amazing sounds... but, you definitely save the best to last!!! Wow!!! There is nothing sounds better than a Manor at full cry!!!!! Thanks for a great vid!
Wow! Just came across this, and it's just beautiful. I'll look for others from your stable. Takes me right back to the glory days - 40s and 50s. Thanks so much.
Brought back wonderful memories of trainspotting (in its original meaning). As a youngster in the early 60s I used to take the local from Palmers Green to Wood Green (Alexandra Park) at weekends, and saw many A1, A3 and A4 Pacifics blasting through among all of the other less-glamorous locos; a multitude of tankers and the magnificent 2-10-0 9Fs. Also had the "bad luck" to miss a connection at Swindon once, and had to spend an entire afternoon on the platform... There were still a few Castle Class running then. It is wonderful to see that so many of these great machines have been lovingly restored to their original liveries and numbers, and kept running, long after their shedmates went to scrap. And they all look so much cleaner now than they did back then under BR! Super quality video, beautiful framing and composition, and above all super sound! My grand-daughter is now just starting to appreciate choo-choos, which gives me the ideal excuse to keep watching over and over. Thank you so much for this! from Toronto, Canada
Probably the best collection.. from the best viewpoints.. in the world of UK steam. Loved the curved track view of 'Union of South Africa', a really powerful loco.. Huge thanks to the film crew.. And hilarious, near the end, to see not one but three US-built heavyweight locos emerging from a tunnel in a cloud of steam, and with not one but two diesel engines at the back!
Absolutely superb, thanks Liam and Phil, this illustrates the true meaning of video and audio 'capture' many times over. Impossible to pick a favourite! Kind regards, Bob
The "Princess Elizabeth: 8:38 hurtling out of the eerie mists looks like a clip from a Sherlock Holmes story or a scene from Ridley's "Ghost Train". It's beautifully done. The tension building up, me wondering what it's going to look like, how fast. how many carriages and waiting for the glorious sound. A brilliant vid!
Fabulous locations, wonderful photography and sound recording and, of course, great locomotives. Brought a real smile during this ghastly lockdown. I think I will need to watch iy on a daily basis.
Just watched 18 minutes of this superb piece of history preserved for all . Fantastic locations and scenery. Will return later to see the rest> Thank you.
Bravo! A feast of rhythms ,tenpi , rate, speeds, acceleration and deceleration, Than k goodness for nil background music !!These noble machines have their own music ! solum relinquatis eam
12 out 10 Excellent video of a forgotten 😟😞 era!! 👍👍 50m +, 3 locomotives together; magnificent 👌👍👍 I have recorded steam trains on video myself, it is more difficult than most realize!!
Kraftvoll arbeitende Lokomotiven mit Normlasten versehen, auf Stilechten Strecken, weche nicht mit störenden "Fahrleitungsmastenwäldern" und modernen Signalen und Kontrollvorrichtungen überladen sind kann man wohl nur noch in England erleben. Ganz grosse Klasse.
What stands out in this video is the quality of the photography. Every frame seems to stand out like a quality photograph. Put them all together and you have a feature movie. Absolutely beautiful collection from England!
@@MarshSteamVideosTM Will you make it to see 4014? I saw her twice already in,,,2019. You must make the trip. Assuming your government will "ALLOW" you.
Maravillosos trenes de una era dorada ..en la cuna de los ferrocarriles (UK), si algo perdurable han dejado los británicos en mí país son los ferrocarriles ,todavía en las viejas estaciones de paredes de ladrillo ronda el fantasma de la nostalgia ... Temperley,Camet , Hurlingham , Munro son nombres de estaciones que evocan una unión de siglos ...saludos desde mar del plata Argentina 👍🇦🇷🇦🇷... La próxima les escribo en inglés ..bye bye .. thank you ..gracias
Superb. The best collection and presentation of steam clips I've seen and heard in a long, long time. It's wonderful to see so many steam trains running without every one having a diesel loco bringing up the rear.
Thank you for this superb compilation - there are some wonderful sights and sounds. I particularly enjoyed the three S160's plus two diesels at the rear. I have never seen that combination before.
Greetings from across the pond in California, USA! Thank you for making and uploading this video featuring wonderful steam trains - I adore steam trains and really enjoyed this collection.
There are very few things man made that are beautiful but there is nothing man made more beautiful than a steam loco it is without doubt a living breathing thing with a soul each is as individual as any person.
