BR Class 7 Britannia 70000 4-6-2 pulls The Cathedrals Express into Upminster Station in Greater London on her way to Eastleigh on the 10th December 2011. I may have made an error by standing under the road bridge for departure, things got a little on the foggy side! Lot's of smoke on departure.
Nice steamy arrival shot. I think you were in the right place. The smoke under the bridge made a great effect. Super sound as Brit pulled away. Shame you got bowled by a 357. I also filmed Brit on Saturday, just down the line from you, at W Horndon. Please take a look and comment. Barry

@bkendlerA4 Thanks. I think I was lucky to get the shots under the bridge. It just made the smoke and sound so much more intense. Mind you the 357 was a shock! I was so busy I didn't hear it's horn then it just came at me from out of the smoke!

This might be your first youtube video but I can see you are a professional!

@KINGANDCASTLE Thanks. Unfortunately the light balance is all wrong, my little camera struggled that day and so I ended up with a mixture of under exposed and over exposed footage. Still the smoke was fun!

@flydando Are you on 4:3 or 16:9 image?

@KINGANDCASTLE My camera is really a 4:3 only. It can do 16:9 but only because it cheats and places black strips at the top and bottom of a 4:3. I'm considering a new camera, something HD and 16:9 capable. Might even invest in a tripod to stop all the camera shake!
