@lmogden1 Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it. Barry

[megatwingo]

Nice train and a formidable loco. Thumbs up! :)

[bkendlerA4]

@megatwingo I agree with you and thank you for the comment. Barry

[robmasterman]

Nice one Barry, plenty of time to enjoy it passing, with the added bonus of the mirror reflections....That generator van was a little noisy though....Bob

[bkendlerA4]

@robmasterman Hiya Rob, Thanks for the comment. You're the only one who spotted the mirror reflection. So my camera saw passengers eat their breakfast twice. I don't like the throb of that generator van. I noticed it at Victoria when I filmed 60163 departing for Sherborne on 14-Dec-2011. Barry

[bobnweaver]

Nice video Barry, Good to see you still get some main line steam at this time of year. Regards, Jeff.

[bkendlerA4]

@bobnweaver Hiya Jeff, Actually there were originally three planned steam runs between Christmas and New Year including two around London. The William Shakespeare rail-tour was the only one that survived. Barry

[MrKnowwun]

At least you managed to get good clear shots of the breakfast being served.

[bkendlerA4]

@MrKnowwun Ha! I did feel my camera was being intrusive. Well spotted. LOL. Barry

[TheSteamchest]

Hi Barry,rather dissapointing for you,perhaps next time you use the station you will get a faster run through.Perhaps 2012 will start with the roar of the Lion. Thanks again for sharing the clip.Dave.

[bkendlerA4]

@TheSteamchest Hiya Dave, It would be nice to see steam again at South Ruislip as there isn't a lot of steam allowed on the Chiltern main-line. Barry

"Don't mind me lads, just passing through..."

[bkendlerA4]

@trainlover658 Hiya. I don't mind. Just passing through what? Barry

[willhayfield]

Hi Barry - In boarding school I think! - it's style of commentary i was alluding to - all those facts and figures - definitely a Mottie trait.

best wishes and roll on ?February

Will

[bkendlerA4]

@willhayfield Sorry Will. Misread your intent. I don't mind being a Mottie for the facts/figures. In fact, although the late Ken Wolstenhome coined that famous phrase I mis-quoted he was known to make errors around players names, etc.. Happy New Year, Barry

[MrHosepipe123]

Nice Barry ...have a good new year ...Colin

[bkendlerA4]

@MrHosepipe123 Happy New year to you Colin. Glad you liked the vid. Barry

[MoiUnMouton]

Look on the bright side Barry, you got to admire her for a nice extended period of time, and the video came out very well :-)

Sure belted through Beaconsfield at 8.45 anyway.

Happy New Year and thanks for all the videos.

[bkendlerA4]

@MoiUnMouton Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated. Happy New Year to you. Barry

[KINGANDCASTLE]

To stop or not to stop? That is the question

[bkendlerA4]

@KINGANDCASTLE I like it. LOL. What was really amusing and I hadn't mentioned before is that when the Down Relief Starter went green a guy, in DB Schenker uniform, stuck his head out of the carriage window opposite me and waved a green flag. Does the driver need to know that he can go when the signal goes green? LOL. Barry

[MEKAYJIMMYNATHE]

Great vid Barry, nice to see her going slow for a change, can't wait till she comes to Nene Valley Railway. Happy new year to you pal.

Tony.

[bkendlerA4]

@MEKAYJIMMYNATHE Hiya Tony, That'll be great for the NVR. Tornado always gives a boost to our heritage lines. Happy New Year and glad you liked the video. Barry

[SatNavDan]

Perfect shot, Barry. A very good vid. Roll on 2012!

[bkendlerA4]

@SatNavDan Hiya Dan, Happy New Year. Glad you liked it. Makes a change to see steam on the Chiltern Main-Line even though it wasn't going fast. Yes, roll on 2012. Clan Line at Purley on 7th January for me. Barry

[molzips]

Barry, This is a great locomotive to capture at any speed. The problem today for me, apart from the weather was how quiet it is on the approach. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a happy New Year. Regards, John

[bkendlerA4]

@molzips Hiya John, Happy New Year. It is a very quiet engine on approach when the regulator is shunt. 60163 blew off as it went over Northolt Junction but I didn't film that bit. Barry

[OLDBOYSTEAMING]

Hiya Barry It was nice to see you at SRU it was a V-Good video and a like see you next year..........Pete.

[bkendlerA4]

@OLDBOYSTEAMING Thanks Pete, Will get to see yours over the weekend. I did film 60163 at West Ruislip.last night. Barry

[willhayfield]

ah, is it Kenneth Wolstenholme or John Motson of steam commentary? your facts are always impressive - whatever the loco performance. i was going to venture to P Risboro but thankfully I overslept...there's always 2012. Happy New Year!

[bkendlerA4]

@willhayfield Hiya Will, It was Kenneth Wolstenhome who said, "They think it's all over, it is now". I think John Motson was in nappies then. Barry

[khankadet]

Could have beeen a bit of an anticlimax Barry but just as good to be able to see properly at slow speed. Have a good New Year. Chris

[bkendlerA4]

@khankadet Thanks Chris. Barry

[davidtparkes]

good shot and bonus of chime whistle.

[bkendlerA4]

@davidtparkes Hi. I appreciated the driver blowing the whistle to liven up the video. Barry

[bkendlerA4]

@davidtparkes Thanks Chris, It was good of the driver to give us a "toot". Barry

[pendolinokriscfc]

Great video. She is such a beautiful locomotive. Think I was born in the wrong era! I filmed her at Denham Golf Club just up the line, have a look. Well done!

[bkendlerA4]

@pendolinokriscfc The A1 is a classic design. Based on Flying Scotsman but with improved boiler and conventional valve-gear. Thanks for the comment and Happy new year. Barry

[Pmarsh1952]

diabolical performance from tornado today !!! but well shot anyway was pretty poor up hatton bank and tysley

[bkendlerA4]

@Pmarsh1952 Sorry to hear that. Tornado' performance at South Ruislip was to do with signalling. Barry

[RobosChannel]

Nice video, thanks for sharing.. Happy Steaming New Year..  Dave.

[bkendlerA4]

@RobosChannel Thanks Dave, Glad you liked it. Barry
