Very atmospheric with the wintry sun and the steam trailing from the Black 5 and coaches as the train with leaving Goathland. Nice shots of the trains passing through the snowy landscape 😀
Fabulous footage and I hope the frostbite hasn't cost you any toes. One complaint - all those shots of the Pullman consist keep kicking my nostalgia nerve! As you look forward from the guards compartment in the Pullman brake coach, the first two seat table on the left is where we had lunch in June 1998, on our holiday of a lifetime from Australia. Still have all the memorabilia including the receipt and a lot of video of the day - a highlight of which was the safety valves lifting on rebuilt WC Braunton as she pulled away from Grosmont later in the afternoon, just like the loco at Goathland in your vid. Was it really 25 years ago...many thanks actually, loved every second of your work.
I had the distinction of using the British Rail network in the fifties and sixties and the trains were cold, dirty and unreliable. Today this all looks romantic and beautiful, life’s funny.
I saw an old film clip some years ago of a G.W. tank loco, ploughing through a flood that was right up to the bottom of the ashpan. Compare that to the modern trains, that stop running due to a slight sniffle!! 🚂🚂🚂
Carping about the definition of "deep" is irrelevant. This is stunning footage of a preserved railway working in conditions that so often cripple mainline operations. Even for the North of England this amount of snow is rather early in the season. Never mind "1963" and all that, to see this today is simply heartwarming. Well done to the cameraman and to NYMR.
Fantastic quality and sound, may I ask what equipment you use, external microphone etc .. need to replace my canon HG30, dreadful microphone. Many thanks, Mike
Sorry, but is it deep snow or just 6 inches? I have a photo of my Dad somewere near Grosmont with a 4MT and two snow ploughs pushing about 10ft of global warming from the tracks. This wouldn't even touch mini ploughs.
Where's the deep snow? All through the video, only a little scattered snow that didn't even cover the rails. Deep snow would be at least a metre or two! I was looking forward to seeing steam locomotives plough their way through drifts.
