AERIAL VIEWS of Carnforth Steamtown, Sidings & Dave’s Horse behind the Loco Shed..! 

Brings back memories of visiting the place over 50 years ago. I wish I could go round again, last time I was about 12.

Nice footage of our horse behind the loco shed

considering how mi6 it is with wcrc this is one of the best views seen in years. nice vid. edit: not saying they HAVE to share anything but y'know it's mega rare anything is heard from the place regarding locos/stock lol

Wow, great footage. Been wanting to get up there for a while. When Spring comes I'm gonna point my van northwards and enjoy all that great scenery and the beer, of course.

This could be one of your most watched Ariel films yet as WCRC are more secretive than the KGB when it comes to what goes on at Carnforth.

An absolutely fascinating view and it''s great to see what's still there. Many thanks

What an interesting and so different view to have of such an iconic placel. I bet that all rail enthusiasts will be surpised by the great overview only such drone footage actually gives. You wanna keep up the good work and offer your skills to all different potential interested people who know of such interesting places, not only railway sites. I have seen other drone footage shot all over the world but the majority of footage isn't as smooth and flowing thus doesn't keep one's attention as well as your film has. Well done and Thanx a million for sharing your artwork with us none drone flyers. Have a pleasant and enjoyful Christmas

Wow! Fascinating behind the scenes sights! I've been past on the train many a time, but all you can see is......!

I remember my childhood, many days of school holidays spent at Steam Town. I even got to drive Sir Nigel there once to the coaling stay from the shed. OK told to pull that then push it back. It was also the home to 4472 a few black fives along with other things. It was a long walk round the roads from the station but was told of a short cut from one of the staff at Carnforth. Happy days.

Thanks for this, the aerial view gives a great perspective. Stuff like this is also great inspiration for model railway building. I remember going to Steam Town about 40 years ago when I was 10 and seeing Flying Scotsman and Sir Nigel Gresley amongst others. Shame the museum is no longer open.

Great Ariel footage. Didn’t realise it was that big.

Brilliant! I remember when you used to be able to walk around here publicly. Shame you can’t anymore

What a excellent video nice to see it you don't realise how big the place is untill you get a video like this I'd love to model this on my model railway 👌👌👌👌cheers Paul

That looks an amazing place. Can you look round it in person

I dread to think how long some of that rolling stock has been there.....surely a lot of scrap amongst that lot. The drone view certainly shows how big this place actually is. Would love a visit round that depot, just to see some of the withdrawn locos and also inside the main diesel shed. Nice one.

Real life equivalent of the Reverend Awdry's North Western Railway.

Surprised David Smith doesn't have SAMs positioned to shoot down drones

Shocking, looks like the place is falling apart. So sad I visited Steam Town in the 70’s as a teenager.

It’s Lovely to see depots from a angle you don’t often see, would anyone happen to know that the 2 other steam locos are along with 44932 I can make out one looks like 45699 and there’s some small tank engien

It would really be good to visit the site and see what goes on behind the scenes. First time I got got to try and visit I ended up getting taken ill so couldn't go & the 2nd got cancelled thanks to covid restrictions (not down to me but the people planning the visit). Should I do get to visit one day and film clips I wont be sharing a video to RU-vid or anywhere over social media or the web at all so no requests, will purely be for private use. Looking at the state of the roof im surprised that nothing has been done about it as one day it's gonna reach a point where it collapses OR the building becomes unsafe. I know it's a grade listed building but something really needs to be done to the structure.

Where is the remains of 34073 249 squadron gone

Loved your presentation of Carnforth. Last round the yard 11th September 2021. Sometime next year will be revisiting through an organized group.

0:55The roof on the right hand road could do with the attentions of a skilled roofer

Still hasn’t fixed the roof. Letting the place go to ruin

They hate people flying drones over you know, i used to work there

i didnt realise carnforth had a international shunter

Any body know when 76017 is moving to carnforth

Was the tram style centenary from the steamtown days? @1:06 is a good view

I hope you asked David Smith for permission to film his land from this close range.
