@PhilbruProduction Merci Philippe. J'ai été un peu déçu de ne pas trouver de meilleurs endroits, mais toujours apprécié l'action. ce qui concerne Mike

[wooltman]

Great video,nice to hear the kids getting as excited as we all do at seeing a steam locomotive working as they were intended, at full speed.Keep up the good work.Chris.

[rab4472]

@wooltman many thanks for viewing and your comments, Chris. Let's hope the kids become the future supporters of preserved and mainline steam.

@rab4472 I am sure they will.Chris

Two smashing shots Mike. Great to see two different locations where the locos are working well. And a nice contrast as well with the mountainous background for the King and a close-up for Tornado. Well worth a day out despite the conditions. Chris

[rab4472]

@khankadet Many thanks Chris. To be honest I'd not set out to use either of the locations, but as you say they provided a good contrast.

Two good shots there Mike, good to see the old King was not outshone by the 'Young Pretender' on the day. Two fine performances by both locos and crews

[rab4472]

@acw71000 Thanks Austin. I'd really set out to see more of the King in action, but it turned out to be one of those days.

Hiya rab4472,

Are you a Flying Scotsman fan? Great video's of KE1 and Tornado. Georgeous scenery at Llanvihangel. Tornado was accelerating so I take it the train was on its way from Ludlow? I've subscribed to your channel. I filmed Tornado yesterday departing Paddington. Please take a look and comment. If you like, subscribe back. Barry

@bkendlerA4 Hi Barry, many thanks for viewing. It's a long story as to why "4472" ended up in my name, lol. You're quite correct about the clip of T - and not the best of locations. Thanks for the sub and I'll catch up with your vids later

Mike

[robmasterman]

Two cracking shots Mike, at the first location you were just North of the summit at Llanfihangel, the field on the left and up a bit is the best location for Southbound workings.....Bob

[rab4472]

@robmasterman Many thanks Bob. My planning for the day when totally awry, but hopefully there'll be another opportunity.

Bob

[balmesh]

That first clip is a cracker! The mountain behind sets off the steam a real treat. Was that the mountain Bob Masterman was shivering on? 5* . . . . Alan

[rab4472]

@balmesh Thanks Alan. The clip of the king came out better than I'd expected, and yes, Bob was up there somewhere.

Mike

[howarth004]

Nice one, watched it also from a distance with Bobs video

[rab4472]

@howarth004 Many thanks Dave. I guess my shot of the King was towards the end of Bob's clip

Excellent shots Mike from the rural Wales showing the king off to 60163 giving a chime for the excited children. you must have travelled a few miles to get these shots but it was certainly worth it.

Regards Phil.

[rab4472]

@981smithy Thanks Phil. I actually stayed in Hereford overnight with a plan to get the King going north and on its return and Tornado twice north; but it was one of those days when my plans didn't work out. All part of the fun.

regards Mike

[TheStephengthompson]

Two very good shots Mike , a bet you are glad the box just got into the cutting before the King appeared. The children seemed happy to see Tornado in the last shot and you got a great whistle . Regards Steve

[rab4472]

@TheStephengthompson Cheers Steve. Not the locations I'd set out to film from but thankfully luck was on my side with the King. I guess the sound of excited kids adds to the shot - not the best of spots.

regards Mike
