Lovely video, the shot over the viaduct is stunning. Going straight to the favourites list.

[acw71000]

Thanks, I do enjoy filming around that viaduct, been lucky with weather on the times I've been there too which helps.

[luckyowl249]

Many thanks: Lovely bygone scenery!

[acw71000]

Thank you, that was such a lovely day and the countryside looked just perfect

[WoelkerVideo]

Excellent video.

Very great steam train.

[acw71000]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[mikldude]

nice clip, do they always  smoke so heavily?

[acw71000]

Thanks, smoke depends on many things, could be a poor batch of coal or just had a shovelful put on the fire as she comes into shot.

[mikldude]

@acw71000 ahh ok............ thanks mate.

[MonochromeLoco]

Lovely opening shot across the viaduct. - Keith

[acw71000]

[trainfart]

Absolut fantastic shots! The sound is incredible! =)

[acw71000]

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it

[noelist]

sound great, nice to see a guy nip out of work for his steam fix and nip back, adds a je nes sais quoi to it, cheers.

[acw71000]

Cheers Leon, that was a funny moment, bet it made his day

[hurleyfunbags]

Great shots and 5029 sounds like she is in fine form.

[acw71000]

Thanks, always good to hear a Castle's bark.

[briters99]

Thanks for sharing your video with us. Very enjoyable as usual.

5029's valve events really need attention.

Keep up the good work.

Good shots there Austin. I would have liked to see Nunney Castle on the mainline, but I was in Wales filming another Western engine ;)

Thanks for sharing.

Jeff

[acw71000]

Thanks Jeff, you can't be everywhere but you don't have to miss anything thanks to YouTube!

[megatwingo]

Very nice video. What a nice viaduct and train. Thumbs up! :)

[GreatWestern175]

Very nice capture and reflection over Dutton Viaduct and near Wrewnbury. However you did miss out on Llanvihangel which was very epic

[acw71000]

Thanks Ryan, would have loved to have got to Llanvihangel but a bit far for me really.

[PhilbruProduction]

Wonderful video Austin. The shooting on the viaduct is of great beauty. The sound of the locomotive is quite exceptional. Thank you very much to share this pleasant moment. Philippe



[acw71000]

Merci Philippe, c'est un beau viaduc et j'ai été très chanceux que le bateau semblait au bon moment

[steamvideo]

Some great clips there Austin, a pleasure to watch. That viaduct is spectacular.

Alas 'holiday' traffic ruined my attempt to film this leg of the tour.

[acw71000]

Thanks Bill, I was lucky that due to the timings I missed the worst of the traffic. Wish I had gone past Shrewsbury now though. Hindsight is a marvellous thing!

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, only wish I had been able to cover some of the other sections of the tour.

[stuvids]

Superb video Austin! Do like the viaduct clip, a nice location.

Thanks for Sharing!

[acw71000]

Cheers Stuart, it was so peaceful down there on Friday morning, it is a lovely spot

[stafford1an]

Superb footage!

[acw71000]

Thanks for your kind comment

[wooltman]

Train,Boat but no plane as the song goes you cannot have them all, but we got a great video.Thanks for that.Chris.

[acw71000]

Many thanks Chris, I think I'm glad no plane appeared or even the dreaded helicopter!

[robmasterman]

Fantastic Austin, well thought out locations providing outstanding images of this train in perfect conditions....Superb...Bob

[acw71000]

Thanks Bob, one of those perfect still days that are all too rare.

[churchward82c]

Superb! Especially across the viaduct.

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, pleased you enjoyed it.

[balmesh]

Going some, that! Two cracking locations and some superb filming. Thanks Austin. . . . Alan

[acw71000]

Thanks Alan, great conditions certainly help with the filming. Cameras like a spot of sunshine.

[balmesh]

To acw71000

More importantly, it improves definition significantly!!

[acw71000]

Thanks Steve, yes we couldn't complain about conditions at all. I was just to the left of Ralph, had a chance to meet and chat for the first time.

[LMSStanier]

Fantastic stuff. Great filming from an excellent location. What a superb sound she makes too. Thanks for posting.

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, its a nice sound but I think she possibly sounds a little off beat. Doesn't affect her performance though

[rab4472]

Two super clips Austin, especially Dutton, and you even got a little more exhaust at PG

regards

Mike

[acw71000]

Thanks Mike, too true about the exhaust, a bonus on a day such as this. It was idyllic at Dutton in the early morning

[ralph5407]

I like the shot over Dutton and a still at about 29 with the cruiser on the river would be very picturesque.

[acw71000]

Thanks Ralph, my thoughts exactly, got it as a screensaver at this very minute!

[981smithy]

Excellent shots Austin and you timed the boat to perfection in your first clip. Superb sound in the second shot 5029 seemed to be working very hard.

Many regards Phil.

[acw71000]

Cheers Phil, love to take the credit for the boat but pure good fortune. I could complain about it not being a proper canal boat though!
