Stunningly atmpospheric, filmed from interesting angles and inspiring locations. The still foggy weather enhances it superbly. Many thanks for sharing this Austin.

Thanks very much David, I have filmed so often at the Lancs down the years that it is difficult to find a new viewpoint. The conditions did help the overall atmosphere.

[SteamingYorkshire]

Great selection of clips Austin, I'm surprised we managed to avoid one another... haha.

See you around.

Si

[acw71000]

Thanks Si, yeah, I'm sure we'll bump into each other again soon.

[AndreiTupolev]

I do agree with the comments above about the weather. I think it adds that touch of authenticity, particularly the opening shot with the WD on goods with the mill chimney in the background.

[acw71000]

Very true, although I would have liked a little more brightness you can only film in the available conditions

[robmasterman]

I can only agree with all the previous comments Austin, a beautifully atmospheric set of sequences that are enhanced by such weather conditions that us older lads remember so well from the good old days of steam...5*....Bob

[acw71000]

Thanks very much Bob, of course I don't really remember those old days myself....o.k. tongue is now coming out of cheek!!

[johnwood57]

That is a fantastic video you got there,the foggy day certainly set the mood for a great day's filming,brilliant 5*.........John.

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, whilst I would have liked a spot of sunshine, in the end, the conditions added to the atmosphere I think.

[togreektown]

Just a exccellent video and well put together, and the fog just adds to the wonderfull world of steam.

We in Canada are very jealous of all your steam

Wayne

[acw71000]

Thanks Wayne, we really are spoilt here with so much steam, are there not many steam lines in Canada?

[CSX6000]

Great first shot dude!

[acw71000]

Thanks, it was good to get the reflection in the water

[balmesh]

Brilliant - sunshine would not have been "right" for a BR steam day! It was always grey! 5*

Alan

[acw71000]

Very true Alan, I did think of uploading part of the video in black and white. Thanks for your comments

[ampy1950]

The "dub dee" freights looked and sounded great (bet she woke the caravanners up!) - superb filming, thanks for posting.

[acw71000]

Thank you, there were around seven or so runpasts and 'Gothenburg' whistling away on the way to Rawtenstall at about 7.50 so I reckon the caravanners were well and truly awake!!

[alberta45562]

Philippe

[acw71000]

Many thanks Philippe, a pity it was such a grey day but we can't control the weather.

[sideranger]

Great atmosphere well captured and sounds superb,as usual well done.

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, the fog probably adds a little atmosphere I think.

[acw71000]

Thanks Steve, I agree about signal arms, they do add to the steam atmosphere.

[thunderchild21]

Superb film Austin, and nice to have caught up with you again at Brooksbottom tunnel.

Jeff.

[acw71000]

Cheers Jeff, yes good to see you again yesterday, standing in the mud!!

[thunderchild21]

I'll need a new pair of walking boots for next week's trip to Lydgate for Scots Guardsman. There no longer waterproof. :(

[thelnerrules]

excellent footage well done

[acw71000]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it, shame about the fog but allows the odd atmospheric shot.

[73096std5]

excellent vid austin 5* and fav i especially like the 3rd shot just super. Matt

[acw71000]

Cheers Matt, for that 3rd.shot the organiser of the freight charter said they were going to 'give it some welly'. He was right too!!

[rab4472]

Great footage and locations Austin. Despite the weather things turned out quite well. Good to see you, albeit briefly.

Mike

[acw71000]

Thanks Mike, yes despite the conditions things didn't turn out too badly. The ELR really put on a good show I thought.

[acw71000]

Thank you very much Bernhard, difficult conditions for filming but I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
