That is an amazing song really enjoyed listening to it :) a brilliant song for a brilliant engine. Well done mate really is brill.

[oldfolkiepad]

@tich4472 Thank you very much for your very kind remarks! Please accept my apologies for taking so long to reply - I took a month's break from YouTube.

Best wishes,

Paddy

[4472peter]

great song, have you seen their next project?

[oldfolkiepad]

@4472peter Thank you! And, no, I haven't - please enlighten me! (Great username, by the way; 4472 is instantly recognisable!)

Best wishes,

Paddy

[4472peter]

@oldfolkiepad Thanks, They are planning to build a P2 steam engine, you can see what tornado is doing and where it's pulling a tour.

[4472peter]

@oldfolkiepad Thanks, They are planning to build a P2 steam engine.

[goreedy]

Really like this one Paddy - works very well my friend. Coincidentally, I was also built in Darlington!

Simon

[oldfolkiepad]

@goreedy Many thanks, Simon; I'm glad you liked this - it was my very first YouTube posting. It's a nice place, Darlington; I've only been a couple of times, but I love that big market square in the centre and I thoroughly enjoyed a visit to the railway museum.

Regards,

Paddy

[Therealshurcki]

finally really got!

[thure1989]

HAHA it took me some time before i realized that he was talking about Trains and not the "Steam" like css and TF2 xD

[Kittielips]

How can you "pull a train by steam?" Shouldn't it let off it's own?

Love.

Jennie. X.

[GhostontheMoor]

By halfway through, I was singing along to every chorus. Yes, you have put my exact sentiments to music. Thank you!

[oldfolkiepad]

@GhostontheMoor You're very welcome. I'm pleased to hear that I got you singing along. I'm never too sure with choruses on YouTube. At a live gig, one can adjust the number of choruses in the light of the audience's willingness to sing along, but in this medium one just has to hope that people aren't getting fed up with them. Many thanks!

Best wishes,

Paddy

[Econniff]

Ha, I love that "chug chug" you got going in the melody

[oldfolkiepad]

@Econniff I couldn't really celebrate a steam engine without it - many thanks!

[phongbong]

It's a tornado song, for sure.

[oldfolkiepad]

@phongbong It's very kind of you to say so - thank you!

[adam4bfc]

Top class :)

[oldfolkiepad]

@adam4bfc Thank you very much - I'm glad you found the song that reflects my true feelings!

[1998olie]

can i ask can i use this song i just love it

[oldfolkiepad]

@1998olie So long as you acknowledge me as the writer of the song, I'd be honoured. I'm glad you like it. Many thanks for subscribing!

[branwal100]

Very Nice Song, You Put It All Together And It Fits Well Because Tornado Is The First A1 Pacific To Be Built In Nearly 40 Years! Well Done Again! :)

[oldfolkiepad]

@branwal100 I'm glad you enjoyed the song. Many thanks for making such a nice comment.

[angelofbebop]

I'm amazed how easily you compose songs! Thank you!

[oldfolkiepad]

@angelofbebop It's very kind of you to say so, Angel. Thank you! Sometimes I get lucky and they are easy, when an idea just pops into my head. Other times I have to work on them for months, and there are more than a few that I've started but never been able to finish.

Regards,

Paddy

[ourpat1]

Have passed this on to a Train Spotting friend

BEWARE!!!!!!!

He will "Steal it"

Thanks

Pat Savage

[Kittielips]

Steal what? The song or the train?

I'd love to stay and have a 'natter,' but I'd better be 'making tracks.'

Jennie.

[oldfolkiepad]

Thanks, Pat. If he wants to sing it himself, that's fine, so long as he acknowledges me as the songwriter.

[oldnrone]

Very nice!

[oldfolkiepad]

Many thanks! Good to hear from you again.

[Kittielips]

One can't beet a bit of nostalgia. Five stars as usual. Take care, love, Jennie. XX.

[oldfolkiepad]

Thank you, Jennie, and hurrah for being the first woman to comment on this song.(Apart , that is, from my wife, whose reactions when I sang it to her led me to write "Steam Engines Are Just Smelly Things", in order to express what she says is the way most women feel on the subject!)

[oldfolkiepad]

Lucky you! I've still only seen her on film, but no doubt my chance will come soon.

[smithsj1]

I saw Tornado at Barrow Hill yesterday and she is magnificent!

[oldfolkiepad]

Most kind - thank you. The people I've met who aren't impressed by Tornado are mainly women. Perhaps it's a gender thing, though I've no wish to reinforce stereotypes: I'm well aware that there are quite a few female steam enthusiasts.

[andyg3]

Brilliant work!

I dont see how some people cant like Her

[dickymintsouthdevon]

that is a brilliant song

[oldfolkiepad]

Many thanks! Did you see footage of Tornado making her first main line passenger run on TV today?

[dickymintsouthdevon]

unfortunatly i didnt was it quite a good clip of her

[Yellowdog37]

Greetings Paddy

A "first class" rendition and certainly on the right "track".

"Full steam ahead" for a well "trained" voice.

Could this song be a "signal" for a new career, I wonder?

I will listen out for this song on the radio, but which "station" will it be on.

Cheers

Harry (associate Crick Stroller)

[oldfolkiepad]

Thanks for a fine set of puns! A new career? My wifell have no truck with that and gets all steamed up at the idea, fearing Ill go off the rails! See you soon, Harry!

[twistedprophecy]

Absolutely Brilliant Paddy i like this would love to have it in Mp3 format and i'm mainly a Death metal and industrial music fan

Best Wishes

From Mike

[oldfolkiepad]

Many thanks, Mike. You're welcome to download this if you can, but I've no idea how to convert it into any other format - I'm a bit of a techie dinosaur, I'm afraid!

[davebarkeregp]

Well done Paddy. I think this is the best one you have written. Dave

[oldfolkiepad]

That's very kind of you, Dave: thank you. Perhaps you'd like to try my latest upload, 'Crick Treacle Mine'!

[WizardMalachai]

You should put this on itunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnebiggunns]

That was A1 ....Paddy

[oldfolkiepad]

Many thanks - neat pun!

[chilldude111]

Absoultly brilliant!

i hope the A1 steam trust see this!

5*

[oldfolkiepad]

Thank you. I've been in touch with them; I hope they'll enjoy it.

[chilldude111]

Well i hope they use it for a themetune or something!

It has cheered me up hearing this!

[westsomersetrailway]

Just a quick message to say how great I think this song is!, keep it up!

[oldfolkiepad]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
