34046 ‘Braunton’ at speed on The Welsh Marches Express- 14/5/24
A spontaneous decision was made to grab 34046 ‘Braunton’ on The Welsh Marches Express. Starting at Birmingham International the tour would be Diesel hauled to Bristol Temple Meads before the Bulleid would take over for the run over the Welsh Marches to Shrewsbury.
Starting at Abergavenny 34046 can be seen at speed passing the signal box taking a run at Llanvihangel Bank with the Diesel giving a good shove, thanks to @LiamsLocos for manning the camera for the shot off the footbridge at Abergavenny. The next shot was at the now closed foot crossing at the end of the platform. At Hereford the loco would take on water allowing us to overtake. This allowed a shot a Leominster (again thanks to Liam) and a shot at Ludlow. I met @harnettyrailways here who had a long whistle arranged. For the return journey I wanted to try a shot I saw at Craven Arms near to Stokesay Castle so I headed out with @JakeBSteam to have a look. The final two shots show ‘Braunton’ after a water stop at Craven Arms. Again thanks to Jake for manning the second camera.

LNER A2 pacific 60532 ‘Blue Peter’ on its first mainline loaded test run from Crewe H.S to Coton Hill T.C and return. For the outward journey I opted to go to Chirk Aqueduct as it’s somewhere I’d never done before. The second shot I had Penkridge planned to get the A2 at speed but I had a feeling it would be let go early so made a last minute change of plan and went for Wellington station inste...

Peppercorn LNER A2 pacific 60532 ‘Blue Peter’ returns to the mainline after a 23 year absence. Running 5Z68 Kidderminster SVR to Crewe H.S. I wasn’t planning to film this originally as I was under the impression the diesel would drag it back to Crewe. After checking the live cameras at Kidderminster I realised the 37 was on the rear so after a mad rush I managed to get to Old Hill around 15 min...

LMS Black fives 44871 and 45407 ‘The Lancashire fusilier’ working 1Z32 from Cheltenham Spa to Lancaster.

The Worcester Steam Express. LMS jubilee 45596 Bahamas was booked to work the trip from Norwich to Worcester Shrub Hill and back, but was replaced with Ian Riley’s Black 5 44871 due to the mk2 stock needing an air braked loco.

Brillaint video! I was also at Swindon and London Paddington to see her.
Awesome footage 👍🏻.
Awesome footage 👍🏻.
すばらしいSL撮影ですね。 チャンネル登録をしました。😺
This train is "not hanging around" steam haulage is supposed to be a relaxing journey of slow accelleration and faster bits. However add a modern train schedule and a diesel pusher and this is what you get. Lovely video and good steam effects. The driver has the time to play to the audience.
Hang on a minute, what is that train doing at the back?
Hiding
Most steam tours run with a diesel locomotive attached to the rear these days. They provide power to the coaches/ heating when required. They also provide assistance when needed. Some tours do run without. But most have a diesel
Glorious stuff!!
Great video as always mate! Was good to see you again and was a good weekend, kind regards Tom
Thanks tom. Good to see you too whilst travelling from Bristol.
@@blackcountrysteamvideos8021 Hopefully see you again soon
0:21 she’s really not hanging around Luke
Luke, Nicely captured. Regards, John
Thanks John
Super filming. Braunton looking and sounding great!
Thank you.
Great video mate. Sadly I couldn’t get out because of stupid school 😂. It was sad about the weather at the start of the video but the loco made up for it. Kind Regards, James
Cheers James. The weather improved throughout the day. Typical weather for the Welsh marches
Lovely shots!
Thank you
Bet you can't wait for another weekend like that, great stuff, heard all about it when I saw Liam today
It was a fantastic weekend. So many memorable moments. Probably one of my favourite videos that I’ve made to date! Sadly i won’t be doing another one like this until I’ve passed my driving test, hopefully before Christmas.
@@blackcountrysteamvideos8021 Best of luck with your driving test, it will certainly make things easier for you to get to remote locations for filming - not easy when relying on public transport.
Fantastic video as always mate, and a class weekend out with you and the lads. I must try out Dainton myself soon. Regards, Dan
Cheers mate. Dainton for the double header 👌🏻
Lovely !
Shame on the banker😂
Great video!! V exciting seeing it in Devon - must have been very emotional seeing it in Paddington.
Luke, You captured the very essence of this challenges that this loco was put through on the Devon Banks. You were obviously camping at Hemerdon 😂 Regards, John
Thanks John. It was a memorable one. We arrived at hemerdon at 6am 😂
Nice video 👍👍😎👍
Thank you
Excellent video. Good sound, great colour, great positions/locations and editing. You are well skilled at the craft. Very pleasant watching and ,,,, the weather was glorious. Will watch again. Apprentice your efforts, thanks.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
You've misspelt pushed with blast...
Was a pleasure spending the couple days with you mate! Fantastically filmed and we had the weather to go with it too!! Cheers for the company bro!
Fantastic mate. Let’s hope we see more trips to Plymouth and hopefully Cornwall
Great video as always Luke. Kind regards, Jake.
Cheers Jake. 👍
Excellent sequence - well done on the extra effort and planning to get the key locations - Dainton Hemerdon Swindon and the Paddington arrival was the icing on the cake! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Magnificent, the arrival at Paddington very emotive after all these years.
It attracted a large crowd very quickly after arriving. Was great to witness
Absolutely smashing video mate and great effort to get out for it over the 2 days I’m so sad that I missed it but I’m gonna go for the double header up there in September. Regards, James
Thanks James. If you can get out for the double castles you won’t regret it. 👌🏻
15:08 this reminds everyone of 1964 when pendennis castle worked the Ian Allan special tour to Plymouth which is 60 years ago
Hard work for the fireman!
Great video :)
Great to see it back on the main line & working a bit harder than when we saw it the other day.
Two excellent shots, good bit of luck at Chirk as there's often a crowd on the aquaduct.
the actual fastest steam train is back, 142mph blue peter...although it nearly killed itself while breaking that record, glad to see her back and running
Blue Peter is quite a dark horse…
Luke, Nice one. Did you catch the train to Old Hill? 😂 Regards, John
Cheers John 😂 even worse mate I caught the taxi. Noticed it was the A2 leading and didn’t have time to walk there lol
Luke, You've been on travels again I see. Pity about the adverse signal at Wellington? Anyway, great captures. Regards, John
Cheers John. I planned penkridge at first but had a feeling it would run early through its pathed stops at oxley and busbury.
Great video. Looking forward to travelling behind Blue Peter soon.
At around 1:10 we seem to be looking at the back of a temp speed limit sign, hence the slow move along there.
Nice to see that blue liveried A2 loco making a mainline test run appearance
It’s going to be a popular performer Scott. Made an incredible noise heading up towards old hill tunnel on Tuesday.
@@blackcountrysteamvideos8021yes I did see the video of yours a day before at old hill and I’ve caught her accelerating through Blakedown and it’s the first for me to see her on the mainline
@@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329a large green chilli in some papa tones chilli oil?
Great video mate! Shame I couldn’t join you for this one. Regards, Liam
Cheers mate. Always get it on the Welsh marches this summer
Love that whistle sounds like an American one
Somebody mentioned it was off an Australian loco? 3801 I think they said
Great video mate. It’s great to see blue Peter on the mainline with some coaching stock.
Cheers James.
Nice video
Thanks josh
Very fast
Did alright there Luke. Glad we met up on the train to Langley, I decided to give Old Hill a miss and went to Rowley for my first shot.
Cheers Paul. Was good to see you again. It’s been a while.
Nice catch Luke, looking forward to some mainline tours shortly, cheers 👍
Cheers nige.
Blue Peter looking good. Super video! 👍
Sounded even better once it got out of sight at old hill. When I stopped recording they opened it up and it sounded incredible
Great video mate. It is brilliant to see blue Peter on the Mainline. I caught it myself at Rowley and my mate caught it outside old hill.
Cheers James. I’ll take a look
Wonderful to see. Joe from Canada 😊
Thanks for watching
Great having an hour with ya mate! Look forward to seeing her on some tours soon!
Hopefully no more wheelslip incident for her whilst she’s out there on the mainline
Caught that too luke and this is the first mainline appearance for this loco since 2001 And I was at blakedown when she came check it out
