Stanier Pacifics On The North Wales Coast

[duchessess1]

i think its about time these two great engines should be working as a pair again and not a day to soon

[acw71000]

Thanks, I don't think you would find anyone who disagreed with your comments!

[D335Media]

I want to do something like this, would love a Lizzie or a Duchy on NWC. I'd love one anywhere to be honest...

The best North Wales compilation on YouTube. Love every minute of it. The Llandulas shot my favourite,

[acw71000]

Thanks for your kind comments, glad you enjoyed the video

[acw71000]

Thanks for your very kind comments, nothing to beat a Stanier pacific in full cry.

[PhilsTeleTime]

A joy to watch. The bit filmed from the car window was very good.

[acw71000]

Thank you, glad you liked it, the car sequence was difficult as she was going at a cracking pace.

[ryan3571]

Brilliant post, and the piece filmed running on the road next to the Princess was outstanding!

[acw71000]

Thanks, just a pity that sequence couldn't have been longer.

Fantastic collection. I'm hoping that the North Wales coast sees a lot more mainline steam in 2009.

[acw71000]

Cheers, it's a good route for steam to run fast and very scenic when it doesn't rain!

[LMSStanier]

Good old Stanier!! Excellent stuff and well filmed. DoH looks great.She's my favourite Stanier engine. 5* and favourited.

Thanks once again Austin. A fabulous range of locations and shots. You must have had a whale of a time in the 90s. I'm glad you did and very grateful to you for sharing more of your collection. Chris

[acw71000]

Many thanks Chris, they were good times and I was always grateful for Flexitime and an understanding boss!!

[Linesider1]

Fantastic Austin, fantastic. 100% action and such a great range of shots and locations, all filmed to a very high standard. Loved the light on 6201 in the last shot. Cheers, David.

[acw71000]

Thanks David, as those midweek NWCE's stopped at Rhyl on the return, late evening, there was often the chance of some nice low light. Just lucky to be in the right place I guess.

[acw71000]

Cheers Steve, fun to put together too.

[rab4472]

Thanks for sharing another good selection from the archives. Mike

[acw71000]

Many thanks Mike, glad you enjoyed it.

[Slug901]

That is 9 minutes 57 seconds of pure beauty. I enjoyed all of it, 5*

[acw71000]

Cheers, it was great fun putting it together.

[pgtrimming]

Great roadside footage!

[acw71000]

Thanks a lot, my wife took that while I tried to keep my eyes on the road...not easy!!

[NN2Blue]

A great collection of engines, lighting, colour and camera angles. You must have a lot of fun getting those images together.

Mike

[acw71000]

Thanks Mike, and yes I had a lot of fun with this one, playing it very loud helps!

[robmasterman]

That was amazing Austin, that shot of 6203 from the car, well Karl jauncey ...eat your heart out! Every sequence is a gem in it's own right. So it's a 5*+ and Favourite from me...Bob

[acw71000]

Thanks Bob, as you have guessed PSOV were an inspiration. I should give praise to my wife as I was driving that day. Should have had a longer sequence but she had a few problems aiming the camera at a fast moving Maggie Rose!!

[robmasterman]

Ha ..ha..well done Mrs Austin, my wife would have dropped the camera out of the window!..Bob

[acw71000]

I think I'm very lucky to have a Crewe built,rail enthusiast wife whose Dad used to take her trainspotting!!

[robmasterman]

Mine's from Barry where Dai Woodham's scrap yard was..I say no more Austin!....Bob

[rockdropper12]

excellent.turn up the volume,sit back and enjoy, 5 stars

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, glad you liked it.

[sarahandmatt13]

Austin i'm speachless ! This is incredible stuff, 46203 and Hamilton as Stanier wanted to see her. Peppercorn and Gresley were good but Stanier made a far superior whistle ! Magical, many thanks for posting.

[acw71000]

Crikey Matt I've never rendered anyone speachless before!! Hope Sarah approves of the new silent you!! Thanks a lot, Austin.
