[iallcroft]

Lovely shot. I was lucky enough to be in the cab! Great day, and what a machine!

[theamateurbasher]

@iallcroft Thanks for commenting, glad you had a great day out. Shame she won't be out and about for a while...

[ian1200]

Thanks. Well done a pleasure to see.

[theamateurbasher]

@ian1200 Thanks.

[ian1200]

Where is that location ad were is the train heading?

[theamateurbasher]

@ian1200 The location was from a public footpath outside the town centre of Buxton, where this train was heading.

Excellent footage - my house is directly behind the cameraman - but I was out of Buxton on that day, goes to make up for what I missed!!!

[theamateurbasher]

@tigeriffic46 Thanks tigeriffic46!

[DarkRage960]

i was at bristol temple meads when that left. bloody brilliant

[theamateurbasher]

@DarkRage960 Thanks DarkRage960. Not quite as hellfire as that here, but still worth filming!

[deavsey]

[theamateurbasher]

@deavsey Cheers!

[deavsey]

@theamateurbasher gutted as I was in The Huudersfeild area on Saturday( me being southern based), didnt know it was going via that route as would have delayed my other activities

[rab4472]

Nice clip despite the weather. Will we ever see steam around there again?

Mike

[theamateurbasher]

@rab4472 Thanks Mike. As for steam... Hmm, you never know. I suppose it could happen...

[robmasterman]

Well done for braving the elements David, it was a great location to film at and an excellent result. I must say though the Western's engines sound peculiar...5* .Bob

[theamateurbasher]

@robmasterman Thanks Bob! The weather may have been non conformist, but it was certainly worth braving it to record D1015 on yet another ground breaking tour for the class. The location (near a footbridge) was a 20 minute walk away from the station.

[FonteDeiMarmi]

Nice scenic shot! sorry it was so wet, didn't stop you getting the result! Did you travel along way to film it, up in the dales.Beautiful part of the world on any day! 5*

[theamateurbasher]

@FonteDeiMarmi Hi FoneDeiMarmi, thanks for commenting. I travelled up to Buxton from Merseyside; a two and a half hour journey via Manchester. I agree with Peak District being beautiful, it's just a shame that the weather wasn't on my side this time... Still, with a semaphore signal (a dying sight on the national rail system), it's very much worth it!

[FonteDeiMarmi]

@theamateurbasher That is a long drive m8, glad you salvaged the weather in to a good shot. Not all good stuff is shot on a summers day lol .Hope it's better for the Cornwall trip next week, we are trying to cover that one from Paddington throughout and the steam part on to Penzance. Could be good to film with an action packed day,lots of followers and fans of D1015 no doubt plus two legend steam loco's!

[theamateurbasher]

@FonteDeiMarmi I caught the train to get to Buxton, changing at Newton Le Willows and Manchester Piccadilly.

[FonteDeiMarmi]

@theamateurbasher Hope the train was easier than the drive,I thought that would of been better and maybe cheaper with petrol gone up again.

[warminstercentral]

excelent footage .we had a great trip as always with this icon of swindon

[theamateurbasher]

@warminstercentral Thanks warminstercentral, glad to hear you had a great day out!

[Mr1056Sultan]
