[acw71000]

Thanks Andrew, wouldn't it be a treat for the ears to have 70000 and 70013 double heading!

[heritagerailfootage]

@acw71000 I agree with you on that Austin both of them in Brunswick Green double heading on the climb to Shap that will be perfect for me!

Great Video, She's due to be coming to my local station Plymouth on an Excursion with the A4 Pacific class 60019 'Bittern' on 29th May 2010

[acw71000]

Thanks, makes your mouth water doesn't it, two Brits. on the mainline again. Long time since I visited Plymouth, last time I was filming the corporations red Atlantean buses

[aplinewalker]

My word what an outstanding video,,, the locations are just brilliant,,, totaly exquisite zoom control, great sound,,, totaly stunning. (pig sick at my efforts)

[acw71000]

Thank you, we should be able to enjoy the sight and sound of 'Britannia' back on the mainline this year.

[andyg3]

double headed cromwell and britt. Heaven!

[JimTLonW6]

Very impressive, I think the Brits must have been pretty good too.

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, they were (and are!!) pretty impressive. Britannia should be back on the mainline in 2010

[34027]

Absolute fanstastic mate i must admit brits are probably the one best steam loco designs ever. certainly a fav

[acw71000]

Cheers, be good to see her on the mainline again soon.

[acw71000]

Yes indeed, two Brits on the mainline, brilliant.

[cliffboard55932]

What a wonderful video, I had the Triang TT guage model as a boy.

[acw71000]

Thanks, I remember the TT model, I had the OO version, happy days!!

[acw71000]

Yes, she has been away from the mainline for far too long now. I used to have an old Triang model in '00', happy days!!

[BRU11ROAD]

Hope to see her again backwhere she belongs in the mean time I have the Minitrix N' Gauge model

[Birnside]

Would be great to see her double heading on the Great Eastern line with Oliver Cromwell from London Liverpool Street to Norwich!

[acw71000]

That would certainly be a sight to see, never say never!!

[73096std5]

great vid/nice shots/lovely sound all the way through 5*

[acw71000]

Cheers, she never seemed to give a bad performance which helps when filming.

[Daniel5343]

Fantastic video, the last shot was stunning.

[acw71000]

Thanks Daniel, that last shot is one of my favourite locations, I think they put an oily rag on the fire for the benefit of the photographers!!

[GreatWestern175]

70000 is a pretty good arse kicker! Her sound and exaust is just awesome, she performed really well during the 90's. May she return again!

[acw71000]

I read recently that she is due back this year, which was a surprise to me as I thought she was some years off. Be great if it's correct.

[GreatWestern175]

Bloody hell are you sure about that Austin??? I thought the same too, last time I saw pics in STEAM Railway mag of 70000 at Crewe with her boiler looking worse conditioned.

Coincidently I bought the latest Hornby model of 70000 today.

[acw71000]

Page 72 of the March 'Railway Magazine'. I'll believe it when I see it !! I had the original Triang model of 70000 more years ago than I care to remember!

[robmcg567]

Marvellous film, great sound. Thankyou.

Rob

[valhemp]

[robmasterman]

This is the fourth video of your I watched tonight Austin, and they are all absolutely superb. Great locations well taken and well produced...another 5*..Thanks Bob

[acw71000]

Thank you so much, I am very pleased you are enjoying them. Austin.

[Steam1989]

And where have you been hiding these my friend?!?! It will be good to see a Brit back on the Mainline.

[acw71000]

Thanks David, they were all gathering dust, unedited, until I decided to try and make little films to share with the You Tubers. Austin

[RailMon]

You've been hiding your light under a bushel all these years, haven't you? Absolutely excellent stuff. 5 stars from me.

Regards, Hugh

[acw71000]

Thanks for your kind comments Hugh,it's only since I discovered You Tube that I started putting these 'golden oldies' together.Glad you like them. Austin
