The Towy TORNADO 60163 25-07-09

this is a few clips i did of this wonderful exciton Towy Tornado, pulled by that engines number 60163 Torndao. this was all taken on a sunny but wind, Saturday 25th July 2009. the clips in this video are taken form four different places, first at Severn Tunnel Junction, where we she her climing out of the famuse tunnel and up the step bank. were she cross over the mainline to Gloucester then powering throw the platforms. we then see her leaving form my local station Newport, bit of back ground sounds sadly as i was filming for a busy road bridge, due to construction work going on, the platforms. we see her give us a whistle on her way to Hillfield tunnel on the south wales mainline heading to the west. Next shot is as far west that i went to video this tour, in a park at Neath. where we see her climing another bank at Cokett , this time where the driver opens her up to powering up it and give another whistle that echos to show sounds form the past. final we see her going under another famuse place, Bishton Flyover, where she was planned to go over ran hear and was allowed to go on the fast line, passing us with Newport in the distance and the sun setting. thanks to JBTEvans and theonlyadsrulz, and of course you for watching.

These HD camcorders are superb Gareth and the cost is coming down all the time, however they don't have the optical zooms that your camera has currently, so you can get away with using a conventional tripod....Bob

[GJDobbzy]

Thaks i keep that in mind. have to think shel get one of them or go to HD camera.

There must have been something in the air yesterday Gareth, as several people i know, had tripod problems. When you can afford it, invest in a fluid head tripod it makes such a difference...Bob
