Videos mainly of steam charter trains in Cumbria.
I have been a computer programmer all my working life - 45 years or so - and for the last 30 years have been a partner in a small business - Instinct Training - producing computer based safety training programs.
Photography has been a hobby since i was a teenager - which i have used to produce the website www.visitcumbria.com, started over 20 years ago.
I got my first video camera some 35 years ago - a huge Sony camera and separate Betamax recorder which were incredibly heavy - mainly used for family home movie stuff.
Together with my colleague Jan Fialkoswki we have been photographing steam on the Settle to Carlisle line for the last 10 years or so, and 5 years ago I decided to have a go at video.
See also www.visitcumbria.com/carlset/ for many still pics of the Settle to Carlisle Railway.

Nice video ❤👍
Need to download train sim world again
Lovely shots Julian, that was a close one at Scout Green as I was just up from you on the other side and wondered if that caught anyone and a lovely setting at Armathwaite with the preserved box centre stage, regards nige👍
Thanks Nige - I was lucky at Scout Green! Armathwaite is one of my favourite locations. That preserved signal box was 125 years old 2 weeks ago!
Super video Julian :)
Thanks Simon.
Nice video of the Black Five Julian. 👍👍
Thanks Allan.
Close call there Julian and a great shot at Armathwaite 👍🎥
Thanks Steve - I was lucky at Scout Green.
That sound is so bloody amazing!
Love those waves crashing in Julian, what a unique piece of railway and thanks for posting.
Thanks David. Parton, Harrington, Flimby and more further south all have good viewpoints across the sea to the line!
Lovely shot there Julian and a great location,regards nige👍
Thanks Nige. Just a few miles from my home - so easy to get to and few other people there.
Great video Julian :)
Thanks Simon.
Lovely video Julian, as we’ve got used to expecting. Glad to see you’re out again. 👍
Thanks Ian - I go on very few outings now sadly. I've not seen Sir Nigel since her last trip before repair in July 2015 at Edinburgh, so I felt I had to go and see this! Well worth the effort!
Great video Julian :)
Thanks Simon.
Spot on Julian, nicely captured at Carlisle with Sir Nigel looking superb,regards nige👍
Thanks Nige - yes she was looking and sounding superb.
Superb video Julian. I was at the station myself as it was the first time I had seen 60007. An unforgettable afternoon!. Best Wishes.
Thanks Stephen - it looks like we were very close at Carlisle!. This is my first view of Sir Nigel since seeing her in bits at York Railway Museum!
Nice views from Carlisle Julian, Sir Nigel Gresley looking and sounding good. Best wishes, Jeff.
Thanks Jeff - yes looking and sounding superb! And nice to see her stationary and close up rather than racing through a station or countryside (which is also good).
Great captures at Carlisle Julian 👍🎥 SNG looks superb up close 😊
Thanks Steve. It was good to see her stationary and close up rather than racing through a station or countryside (which is also good)!
Excellent video footage of the A4 Julian. Cheers. Allan.
Thanks Allan. A rare outing - I must make more effort to go out again.
とても美しいSL列車。 チャンネル登録をしました。😺
Great video Julian :)
Spot on Julian, nicely captured at Ravenglass and it’s good to see you out and about, regards nige👍
Thanks Nige. Outings are pretty rare now.
Great capture Julian, lovely day for it and good to see you back out again 🎥Close call with the unit 😂👍
Thanks Steve. Both the steam and diesel trains were late - so it was luck that they didn't fail me!
Lovely shot Julian with a great sound from 34067.
Thanks David.
I served in the RAF during the cold war as an Aircraft fitter. Never forget these taking off in a QRA scramble - 4 aircraft together roaring into the sky - never to be repeated ever again. Best deterrent the UK had - now the RAF is a mere shadow of what it used to be............😔
Loudest aircraft I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to
Wow !! 😯
Can't believe its almost 10 years since he stopped flying. Still miss the big bird.
I had one fly over us @ 250 feet or less, in the dark up the Whitburn Main Street West Lothian. 3 days later, a UFO investigator flatmate asked me how to get to Whitburn. I asked him if he was investigating the UFO reported in the news papers and he said yes. I told him it was an RAF Vulcan flying up the mains street, because it had its anti collision light flashing and the Delta Wing obscured the sky ! Fantastic.
Great British engineering at its best 👌 such an amazing sight to behold not forgetting the fantastic roar and iconic howl of those engines 🇬🇧
Making a joyous noise! At look at all the cars that were waiting for her.
It's a shame we'll probably never hear it again
Guy on the hill @ 1:53 gets the best shot!
Every year it seems yet more of Britain's past is wilfully killed off.
Always amazed me how that beast could fly .. !
Moscow here i come😊
That's my dog in the video ❤❤
Good-bye "Spirit of Britain". We loved every second of our co-existence together, early '60's - to this last time - never used as designed*, but entirely successful as such. That is too, the greatest achievement of an aircraft of strategic nuclear war DETERRANCE, job #1; same as my father's main aircraft, B-47, called by some "the most beautiful bomber ever built". Maybe the Stratojet became the archetype of the heavy jet we came to know, but the most beautiful bomber ever built is a tie between the peerless Vulcan and the Convair B-58 Hustler, imho. All 3, all things considered, are miraculous achievements in so many ways IF you realize that it was only less than a lifetime, just a few decades from Kitty Hawk North Carolina and these intercontinental spaceships. There has been nothing like it, before or since comes from adding a completely new dimension to humans in travel - up and down, so to speak. We never grew tired of hearing nor seeing Vulcans and her dashing British crews 24/7/365. From the first time I saw them until now, you make me proud of humanity, up from the slime of prehistory to defying gravity beyond the flightgrace even, of eagles, . . . Thank you Avro, RAF and Great Britain for making and keeping my life better/best you could. Cheers! * Except in the Anglo-Argentinian War of 1981; achieving, as a finale, the longest and successful aerial raid in human history.
Excellent camera work - very nicely done indeed!
That absolutely brilliant 👍,
A nice catch Julian :)
Excellent video! Think you made good given your last minute change of plan! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks. Yours was a better location for a long pan, which I have done a few times from the beach at Flimby Station. I haven't been to St Helens before, but thought I'd try it. There was a person with a tripod and very large lens on the crossing just where I planned to be, so gave up!
Superb footage of the Black 5 on the Cumbrian Coast Julian. Best wishes, Jeff.
Thanks Jeff. Its a year since I was last out filming. Waking far is painful, so I can't do it any more.
Smashing video
Thankyou.
Excellent catch Julian, a lovely chatter from Sir Nigel there, regards nige 👍
Thanks Nige. I was cross with my failure to film this at Ribblehead a year ago, so have done nothing since, and didn't post this short scene at Penrith either.
@@JulianThurgood We all have those moments Julian specially when you travel a fair distance as I’ve thought I’d got a great shot a couple of times only to realise I never pressed the record button.
@@nige7577 - I've done that too!
Excellent shot Julian and some lovely exhaust, must have been a bit cooler by the coast and it doesn’t look like there’s been a weed killing train past there in a long while, good to see you out again, regards nige👍
Thanks Nige.I wish I could go out more, but don't feel up to it, and my fellow stills photographer has been out of action, due to an accident, for the last 5 months! And yes - we need a weedkiller train down the coast!
Beautiful video well done great camera work as well bye for now Philip
Thanks - glad you liked it.
Great shot of the A4 from a fabulous vantage point, lovely 3-cylinder chat.
Thanks David. Its a good, easy to get to location, but beside a busy noisy road (slip road from M6 jn 41).
Super video of the black five Julian and great location. Cheers - Allan. 🙂
Thanks Allan - there are lots of good locations along that coast line. This was close to home and didn't need a long walk, which I'm no good at now.
Lovely to see a video from you again Julian, and what a super clip too. Hoe you are feeling better than you did. Best wishes, Ian
Thanks Ian. This was a year ago. I went to Ribblehead (90 miles trip each way) climbed to a good location having got there 30 mins early. After 30 mins after it was due no sign of it, so I gave up. Then after packing up and on my way to the pub, it appeared. So I was rather fedup. I didn't post this short clip at Penrith from that same day until yesterday.
@@JulianThurgood Realised that it was a year ago when I read about it. However it doesn’t alter he fact that I am always pleased to see clips from you.
@@ianjohnson13 - thanks Ian. I shall make an effort to get out more!
Cracking shot Julian, better exhaust than this morning 👍Can’t see the track for the weeds 😂😂
Thanks Steve - just a short distance from home. First outing for a year! Got rather depressed after a dismal failure a year ago (Sir Nigel Gresley at Ribblehead). Yes the rack needs weeding!
@@JulianThurgood Good to see you out again 👍We’ve all had one of those days sadly but we keep trying to get the best we can 😊🎥
Very nice!
Thankyou.
