  • PAN LEFT!!! ;)

  • Thanks for your kind advice, so kindly offered. I take still photos and just leave my video running on a tripod. If I ever grow a third arm I will pan just for you, until then what you see is what you get.

  • You're welcome. A more practical and more cost-effective solution might be to have a stunning blonde assistant who does one or the other job for you. Shame about the wasted opportunity though, it was otherwise one of the best video shots on here of the engine's recent run.

  • Dad and me are dour Yorkshiremen so we left our wimminfolk doing a few jobs. The blonde was digging manure into the allotment, the redhead was training our whippets, and the brunette was donkey-stoning the front doorstep. We put on our flat hats, filled our pipes and leant on a fence watching this steam train whilst dreaming of a nice pint o mild. Gradely. Might have a ride to Barnstonworth tomorrow!

  • good video do u know at what time the naming is going to take place ?

  • i think this was the train after the naming

  • do all british trains use american helicopter engines to create steam?

  • totally ruined by the bloody noises-off...!

  • Seems they fitted a Cessna engine to that.....

  • Wonder why people need to yell in their video descriptions....

  • ... i i i can't hear the steam train for the helicopter overhead and i c c c can't see the steam train for the s s s smoke ... and i f f f fail to appreciate that the steam train is powered by steam at all b b b because there is a diesel-weasel and not a stoat at the back end of the t t t train ... .

  • Sounds just like a helicopter!

  • Slow...

  • they can't have much confidence in the worlds newest steam engine if she needs to tow a loco everywhere

  • helicopter followed it all the way?

  • helicoptero do CARALHO,!!!] estragou o som oroginal do trem

  • @dreamscape95 "The best" is always a subjective call but I will admit that the Brits do bring it off with a lot of panache and elan. Fast locomotives impeccably maintained by a nation that taught the world how to build fine railways. The peep peep whistles take a bit of getting used to for me, though: the one area where I get insufferably ethnocentric, I freely admit.

  • @DigbyCaballero Who cares

  • Prince Charles' Carbon Footprint.

  • @mistatomsom What beauty is really what you should have said.

    And, that's nothing compared to when Steamers really were themselves and didn't have a bloody diesel pushing for "back up". Rubbish, the steamer wouldn't have broken down with the preservation society of England working on it and because this train had Royalty on board, the use of a diesel killed the meaning of this excursion.

  • I can smell that glorious odour of hot steam and oil from here!

  • @ianbillericay no its not its being used as a back up cos prince charles was on the train its the steam loco brakes down the diesel can always push to keep the train moveing

  • That high intensity headlamp looks really out of place. It also needs a lamp on the smokebox door for correct Royal Train display.

  • Was this taken from the site of the old station platforms at Burton Salmon? In 1957 when I was a 13-year old kid, a Scarborough-bound excursion slowed to a crawl to lety me off here when I had got on the wrong train! AND the next one through, the York train, slowed to let me on!! Wouldn't happen these days. Thanks for the video.

  • Queen leaning out the window wing blowing in her hair " Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee" :D

  • ... could have done without that damned noisy helicopter!

  • @tom201090 thats why we make the best ;-)

  • why was it going so slowly

  • @dreamscape95 we started the railways!

  • Tornado is the best. Prince who?

  • Bloody Helicopter. If I was filming this and that happened i'd be annoyed as hell!! Spoils the vid a bit if i'm honest sorry :(
