I love the dinstinctly Afrikaans accent of the narrator's voice.

Any idea what the 58 was doing on a passenger turn? , I'm guessing it was a special.

I Think You Should”Post Another Video About Stream Trains Because I Am Am A Big Fan Of Steam Trains.

The Moment I Saw Those Steam Trains Feels Like I'm Back In The Olden Days.

ALL action and as we new it ,plenty of Railway Spotters.

NICE as it was with great sounds

Is that thunder I can hear at about 4 minutes in, just as a 47/7 is leaving platform 6? The rain looked torrential and it sure looked dark enough for thunder.

In corridor coaches they were so comfortable

Wen used to go to Paignton Wen come in on electric from Liverpool lime street and back out with a deisls all the way to kingswheier wat a trip and a long day

Love new street

We are watching the RAPE of this Planet by a Nation with no conscience

Nice We Have One Preserved here ad Are National Railway Museum in Utrecht Class 27000 AKA NS 1501 Diana its on my video on my chanal for who is interest in how the loco looks like in 2024

1:40 no messing about getting those doors open 😂😂 wonderful. And back then hardly anyone got clouted by open doors. Imagine now there'd be law suits flying about like confetti 🙈 3:30 an HST. Then a 31 after it. Both wonderful but it's like an Allegro following a Testerossa. 😂 That 50 at 12:10 is a thing of beauty Being a Surrey boy the sound of the 85/86/87 is almost alien 👽 15:17 "I'll just drop you off mate"

SO many spotters!!! 9:05 ...is it like that now? Things change, life moves on and it's unstoppable but, it WAS so much more varied and interesting then!! Wasn't it?

27:32 China's low budget Tidmoth Sheds XD

This is ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING footage and camera work! KUDOS!!!!

Hi Thank you for recording precious moments about Chengde Steelwork Branch. I am a rail-fan in Chengde, China. I am very appreciated your work. Could I use this video as a part of my film of "Beijing-Chengde" Railway? I would enclose the original CZcams link while writing your name in my film. Best wishes, SkyUniverse

No matter what the livery they were in the 47s ,37s and even 31s looked and sounded brilliant, where as todays 66s all look the bloody same.

Checkout 47542 at 12.10 . It was unique,it had extra vents on the engine room doors.

Fantastic photography, the landscape settings for those wonderful steam engines is the best I have ever seen. Enjoyed listening to your comments Roy, so very informative. I, Ian, have had a love of steam from my young days growing up in Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia. Followed the steam trail to Rhodesia and back to South Africa, 1950s to 1980s

Absolutely fantastic thank you so much. New subscriber and i look forward to watching more from your channel. Kind regards from the uk Tim

Good stuff

What's that at 25:46? Never seen that class or livery before.

Awsome😊

Any on the Camp hill chords

Tolles Zeitdokument. Keine nervige Musik....einfach Impressionen aus einer wirklich eindrucksvollen Eisenbahnzeit. Danke dafür!

17:32 - Bw Lindau (Bodensee)!!!

6:47 - Was ist denn das für eine Sprühaktion? Doch nicht etwa Herbizideinsatz?

Had the pleasure of being onboard the 'Pennine Fellsman' from Liverpool Lime Street (bailing at Crewe on the return run); a great afternoon out despite the delay, and an opportunity to encounter 40145 (D345) for the first time. Remember 87004 running round at Carlisle too, if memory serves! Thanks for posting.

@The Roy Bowden Collection would you mind if I used some of your push-pull shots for a video I'm making about the Scottish push-pull tour last February? It's for a section detailing their history. Full credit would be given on screen. Thanks.

Again, WOW! I stood in the same spot as you at Nancha @ 4:05

Absolutely incredible. To think I stood in the same spots you did but 30 years later. I was only completing the 1st grade in school. Thank you for sharing. Just to add. I found you seen df4b 1886, I actually have the brass number plate off that loco.

My channel has a number of Chinese steam videos: czcams.com/video/qpEJmFjas9E/video.html

Feel old, feel nostalgic, feel blessed, feel knowledgeable, feel sad, feel, free, feel like I have lived, gona do more, we were the last free teenagers before cameras and ANPR, FREEE

Thurso station used to be so busy on cattle market days with livestock traffic. Very sad that that has all long gone and only 2 coach dmus now. And a little Bit of nuclear freight from Georgemas

in 20 years, china went from this, to some of the world's fastest bullet trains...

Kein Streik 😅 Schöne Zeit.

So much great traction then!

0:13 Iowa Interstate #7081 before preservation in the US

Started playing the video and first loco is QJ 7081. Lovely. Thanks for sharing the video.

I was at Maclear in 1982 in the last month of steam operation. Your shots are wonderful. The small train, in the distance, dwarfed by the vast landscapes of the Eastern Cape.

Thanks for posting. Very beautiful scenes!

Superschön! ❤

Essential viewing!
