Nightmare conditions in which to film Austin, but as always your true professionalism shines through, and another superb piece of work is the result......Bob

[acw71000]

Thanks Bob, it was one of those days when a few things went wrong and the wind didn't help but the end result wasn't too bad

[Lafondue]

another fantastic video....thanks you for continuously posting superb quality production and for the efforts

[acw71000]

Thanks very much for your kind comments. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos

[EMuksteam]

Excellent video Austin,some great shots especially the departure of 44871 from Summerseat .Liked EM

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, I think that shot was my favourite of the bunch too, she looked good coming through the avenue of trees

[bluecomet390]

I couldn't tell the difference between the actual and dubbed sound. Great filming all around.

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, I was lucky to have a little bit of actual recorded sound of 850 which I was able to play around with and the end result wasn't too bad.

[khankadet]

Lovely footage as ever Austin. I hope your sound problems are easily sorted but still great shots. I don't seem to be getting emails when you've uploaded something so am always coming late to your videos. Have to check the settings. Chris

[acw71000]

Thanks Chris, I much preferred the old YouTube, it was easier to keep track of things I reckon. The sound issue is just a faulty cable on one of the mics so should be fairly easy to sort

[rab4472]

Great mix of action and locations Austin. Shame about the mic issues, but if you hadn't told us I wouldn't have noticed.

[acw71000]

Thanks Mike, you know me, I couldn't release the video and not own up to my trickery!

[981smithy]

Superb compilation of shots Austin, your choice of locations showed the fine locos all hard at work and all credit to the ELR for their efforts.

Nice to see you again and have a quick chat.

Regards....one of the rascals.... Phil.

[acw71000]

Cheers Phil, I agree with you that the ELR do their very best to put on a good gala. Passenger numbers were pretty good too I understand

[molzips]

Austin, Another of your high standard outputs capturing the very essence of the steam gala in very challenging conditions. Thanks for sharing. Regards, John

[acw71000]

Thanks John, it certainly wasn't the best of days and as you know strong winds are the videographers worst enemy

[ClassA4Mallard]

Amazing Video footage

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed

[JamesandPeter]

Stunning video Austin and the shots of the morning Freight were amazing. we went on Sunday and the Duke ran all its turns.

[acw71000]

Thank you kindly, I can recommend the morning freights if you can get there early, always a good display. I was sorry to miss the Duke, but maybe next time.

Memories of '68 with 44871's chalked on smokebox numberplate. Nice selection of shots Austin especially the 5's. May I thank you, Steve, Phil and Chris for going out and filming the gala. Enjoyed all of your films. All the best...Tim.

[acw71000]

Thanks very much Tim. The paint on 44871's smokebox door was probably wet as I believe she was only finished around 7 a.m. on the Saturday. And yes, I always enjoy meeting the other guys for a natter when we are out, I somehow managed to miss Chris on Saturday but saw the other two rascals

[TheStephengthompson]

Excellent work Austin, the two fives looked great with the dark background as they left Irwell . Sorry to hear you had problems with the Mic as I thought it was only me that had problems with sound. Great to see you at Burrs . Regards Steve

[acw71000]

Thanks Steve and good to see you too on Saturday. It was the cable on the Sennheiser mic. that was the problem, the sound was coming and going on some shots and others it was o.k.

[heritagerailfootage]

Excellent Footage Austin. Andrew

[acw71000]

Cheers Andrew, maybe see you about this weekend at the GCR

[PhilbruProduction]

Great video Austin. The problems of micro no way detracts from the beauty of the images. Amitiés.

Philippe

[acw71000]

Merci beaucoup Philippe, au moins le microphone fonctionne de temps en temps!

[SatNavDan]

I'm glad to see Lord Nelson working again following its failure at the Mid-Hants Gala last October. I presume it didn't fail again. I also loved the shot of the double-headed 'Fives' and the shots of the Super D on the Freight.

[acw71000]

Thanks, it was good to see 850 once again. I think the last time for me was in the 1980's when she worked quite a few trains over the Settle & Carlisle

[Pmarsh1952]

Well captured !! Shame we didn't see much of the duke !!

[acw71000]

Thanks, the Duke did make an appearance late on Saturday double heading with 80080 as a test and as far as I know she worked all her turns on Sunday.
