If its steam and its in the North West chances are I will be filming it .My love of Steam stems from my late father who was a relief signalman on Shap working the boxes from Lambrigg crossing to Shap summit but mainly worked the signalbox at Scout Green.
SR 34067 Tangmere Scatters the Cows at Grayrigg Summit on the Northern Belle 15/6/24.
SR 34067 Tangmere would be the motive power for the latest Northern Belle of 2024 from Leeds to Carlisle with 34067 joining at Carnforth for the climb over Shap. Flew solo today so stayed local so we see Tangmere at Grayrigg on a very wet Saturday morning. Tangmere was running late from Carnforth due to the late running Glasgow bound Pendolino.

Unassisted Steam a Thing of the Past ?

At the moment most steam tours seem to have a diesel on the rear be it for operational needs or to provide aircon ,central door locking so is this going to be the norm for the future ( hopefully not ) . This video sees 6201 Princess Elizabeth attacking the climb to Shap Summit in 2011 with no diesel in sight .

The cows look ok but I’m concerned about the old bathtub. It doesn’t look well at all…
Nice one Steve, moving on there on a catch up mission, cheers 👍
Excellent video footage Stephen. Great sounds from the steam loco. Surely the cows should be used to 'Tangmere' by now. Cheers - Allan. 🙂
Well done Steve. I could've half filled that bathtub up at my end🌧🛁
Not the best of weather for todays tour, but a nice long trip from leeds if not a rather extended route, Tangmere sounding on better form today Steve, three nice angle from Grayrigg, stayed at momebeen wet all day, cheers . ⛈👍🎥
Nice to see a streamlined coronation in the last shot (bottom right)! 🛁😉
Nice them Steve on a very damp dull rainy day 😢
Steve, As ever, nicely captured. Regards, John
We were not out today because of the poor weather forecast. Great video.
Brilliant video Steve. Good captured at various angles. Rather damp today there. Kind regards C&A
Super video Steve :)
Good angles there Stephen, don't think I've seen that shot before.👍
Love how the cows ran. Nice capture!
Ais Gill Summit - amazing that the Philistines have not had their hands on that board and changed it to metres above sea level. Maybe they have by now. And who nowadays would trust a humble Black 5 to take 12 coaches unassisted on that route? But there it is..Some wonderful classic locations and filming from what I still see as a bygone era. Thank you for putting it all together for our enjoyment. It is much appreciated.
Steve, Great captures as usual and I had the displeasure of videoing the S&C Steam Special as Tangmere hadn't been attached where I was unfortunately 😂 Regards, John
Cheers John , that doesn’t sound very good for you 😟🎥
Another lovely video Stephen well done great camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on CZcams bye for now Philip
Glad you enjoyed it Philip , this weekend will be the next one 🎥👍
Look at this big shot who thinks he's tough bothering young kids on CZcams. What a disgrace.
Very nice opening shot with Braunton working well Steve , great to see two Bullied's out today plus 8 at swanage including 35018, is that all that all working ones i wonder, cheers Steve .👍
Cheers Steve , it was great to see two so close together I must admit.
Spot on Steve, good to see one follow the other up Shap although the severe wind caused problems but other than that a good show, cheers 👍
Cheers Nige , it was difficult with the wind but at least it was dry 👍😊
Excellent video Steve. Great to capture 2 bullied trains close together. What with Swanage, it was a special weekend for them. Kind regards C&A
Many thanks C&A, it was good to see both tours so close to each other and like you say a great weekend for Bullied locos 👍
You're too critical of your efforts Stephen. Excellent footage.
Thanks Keith , think you are right about that 😂
Another superb weekend for steam Steve. Very enjoyable video. Cheers, Jeff.
Many thanks Jeff 👍
Another great video Steve on what turned out to be another windy day. I opted for Greenholm for the outward legs.
Thanks Alistair, it was certainly windier than was forecast 😂
And pulling 12 coaches and a diesel in the rear, I'd say that's pretty impressive.
Thanks Philip , totally agree 👍
Splendid photography in a stunning scenery setting. You captured the two Bulleid Pacifics to perfection. Thank you for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
You could also add on Clan Line no doubt doing something as well!
Cheers Geoffrey 👍
I've also discovered Sir Archibald Sinclear is about to go into service on the Bluebell as well. 12 working Bullieds!
Good selection of shots Steve, nice to see Braunton working well on Shap with not much assistance. Good shots at Ais Gill with decent sound from Tangmere on the return
Cheers Austin, it was odd on Shap as the mics didn’t pick up the sound until Salterwath or beyond 😟
As said elsewhere, 2 on the mainline and 8 on the Swanage rly, it says a lot for Mr B's design. OK with a bit of help from Mr Jarvis later on.
It was a great weekend for Bullied locomotives I must admit 👍
Great video Steve :)
Glad you enjoyed it Simon.
Thank you Stephen for a great Bullied stream. As a Southerner and a Bullied enthusiast the sound of these three cylinder locomotives and the middle C whistle is just pure magic to me sen! (not a southern, misprint I'm married to a Lincolnshire lass ) lol
Glad you enjoyed it Terry , must admit that whistle is superb 👍
Very Nice Steve
Quality video and sound Stephen. Always interesting to see how these locos perform on inclines that they would rarely if ever have been seen on in B.R. days
Thanks Andrew , it was good to see how they compared but with assistance it was difficult to judge.
I was staff on Tangmere today 😊
Great viewing Steve. A steady climb for both at Shap and good sound. Nice shot at Ais Gill with Wild Boar in background.👍👍
Thanks David, it was odd at first on Shap as the mic wasn’t moving on the screen until the steam was at Salterwath.
Quite incredible the amount of Bulleid pacifics in traffic, considering the decades+ that it takes to overhaul LMS and LNER pacifics.
Very enjoyable Steve, a well lit landscape and cool enough for some decent exhaust. Also, the sound-stage is awesome too, captures that Bulleid chimney-chatter perfectly. Many thanks for sharing, cheerz, Alan.
Thanks Alan, couldn’t tell if the sun was out for the first shot as it in and out all of the time 👍😂
With eight Bulleid Pacific’s operating today at Swanage, that makes 10. Incredible!
That’s quite incredible Richard 👍
lovely video stephen it was a great day for it. I have to say that last shot with wild boar fell is spectacular!
Thanks Angus, thought it worked well at Aisgill like you mentioned 👍
Be nice and toasty in the cab I'm sure! Perfect day for a pint next to the pub fire too!
Will 34073 249 Squadron be restored to working order?

Hi There it is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of you Class 313, Class 314 and that also is including those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 313's Class 314's including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them and including the refurbishment into those Volvo B10M Engine, Scania N112 Engine, Leyland 680 Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Gardner LG1200 Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages of the Class 313's, Class 314's and that is including those Class 315's for most of us Class 314's and the Class 315's Diesel Train Fans Pretty Please? Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project for all of us out there PLEASE.
Brilliant video!
Very nice video Steve :)
Nice video. LIKE
Perfect indeed! Not a diesel in sight!
