In this video we see BR Standard Class 4MT working the 'Steam in the Valleys' Tour on the 2nd of September 2001 in the Rhondda Valley and the Merthyr Branch, This I believe was the last steam hauled run up the Welsh Valleys, and although from VHS Tape, hopefully it will be of interest.
Regrettably, the sound track is out of sync on some clips due to a processing problem.

Excellent, thanks Bob, and I hadn't noticed the sound problem before reading your description. That departure at 06:10 really steals the show! Please keep these coming. Kind regards, Bob.

Fantastic footage!! I remember that day well. Good to see the now removed passing loop at Treherbert in use. Great job.

Thanks very much Hywel, so many things have changed over the years, and often beyond recognition.

Thanks for reminding me Bob, I think we were there too. Good memories for us all!

My pleasure Mike, never thought at the time that we would not see steam up the valleys again.

Very good Bob, great exhaust on that last clip. A great 'go anywhere' loco that was always a top performer

Thanks Austin, this was seven years before I became aware of RU-vid, and this old VHS footage was the standard back then....Just look at where we are these days.

The video is old, but it is still steam. Thanks for converting it and posting it.

@robmasterman 4 года назад

My pleasure, hard to believe this 19 year ago now.

Still great to be able to look back Bob , especially now as could be a long time before we see any new steam footage ....Dave

@robmasterman 4 года назад

Thanks very much, little did I realise that this would be the last time that steam would work up the Cardiff Valleys.

Another two great posts Bob, just what we need when we are locked up! Pete

@robmasterman 4 года назад

I know, it's terrible Pete, can't go out to video anything, not that there's anything worth seeing, so thanks for watching my Golden oldies....Bob.

Great sights, Bob. Sadly we see less of this type of operation these days. Same as down here on the Devon and Cornwall branch lines. Keith

@robmasterman 4 года назад

Thanks Keith, I didn't know at the time, but this was the last time to see such workings up the Valleys...Regards....Bob

@antman09ful1 4 года назад

This is so good to see Bob, thanks for taking the time to share this footage. Regards Mike.

@robmasterman 4 года назад

My pleasure Mike, as you know, this old footage takes far more time to process, but as is the norm, I always have plenty of time...Regards...Bob

@robmasterman 4 года назад
