- LMS Black Fives 44871 & 45407 are seen thundering through Bromsgrove and tackling the Lickey Bank. The 1/37.7 gradient was dismissed with ease as the pair are also seen near the top of Lickey Bank on day two of the Great Britain steam tour. The diesel on back meant the whole load would be a little over the limit for the two fives so it did help out a bit, though thankfully the sight, sound and spectacle wasn't impacted too much. I hope you enjoy the sight and sound of the two LMS Black Fives going hell for leather !

No matter which locomotive you pursue to film nor the location of where you are able to capture them, the quality of the cinematography is always spectacular. The sound just envelops your audience, and the angles of the shoots are always so immersive, placing your audience alongside the action itself. Never has my time been better spent revisiting a wondrous country with such a rich heritage to its history of railways. Thank you for this incredible catalog of what was once a bygone era.
Reminds me of around 1956 at East Hyde viaduct near Harpenden when I got a scoop of a Midland Compound double heading a Scot on the up fast line, the only time I ever saw a Compound running. These two look and sound fantastic.
OMG !!! Thank you so much for sharing ,Not only the video but the awesome sound too !! Black 5's forever :)
Excellent footage there Liam and Phil of the Riley Fives attacking the Lickey, both sounding superb.
Outstanding work as always Liam and Phil, what a performance from both the Black 5's...Bob
As usual excellent smooth clear shots, thanks. As an aside only, the overhead in the first location is positively hideous!
Pure joy! Thanks so much for this stunning video.
Fantastically covered lads!
Great catching up with you again, the lighting was perfect this morning
Regards, Liam
Liam & Phil, Great captures from the dynamic duo !! Regards, John
A beautiful sight and sound in the sun!
Absolute brilliant video just love the sound of the stream locomotives and the site of them keep up the great videos Bernard
Two Mickeys ( yeah, that's what we called them) absolutely flat out up the Lickey! What a wonderful memory.
Great clip ,really caught the drama
Fantastic stuff Liam & Phil! You certainly did well to get all of those vantage points even as a 2 man team! Great to see you both as always, sorry I didn't have too much time to catch up properly though lol. Regards, Dan
Cheers Dan, no worries. We'll catch up at some point.
Everytime I watch these videos, I think of Thomas the Tank Engine and the voices of George Carlin and Ringo Starr as Mr. Conductor come into my head, but there's nothing wrong with that at all.
A pair of fives barking like dogs excellent video
Beautiful footage and great sound.
Fabulous boys I caught them at bowling green lane overbridge and it’s been 8 years since they last did a railtour together down through bromsgrove area
Saw them at Barnt Green, somehow they found 2 mins going up the bank
Super well done video :)
Excellent video Liam and Phil. Great spectacular of them up the incline. Plenty of exhaust from 2 locos and the diesel on the rear. Kind regards C&A
Great shots, I saw them at Twyford when they were just accelerating after a line change and the sound was terrific
Excellent footage
Fantastic collection of clips!
I saw these 2 at Lancaster train station along with Britannia yesterday
Brilliant capture :D
The final sequence was especially good. Great locos: my favourite. LMS also had the best livery, and SR the worst of the pre-1948 companies.
Gorgeous!
Ahhh I love steam engines
Full thrash, brilliant.
What a marvellous video from all angles. Thank you!
Well done Liam and Phil good 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
Michael, Thanks as always. A new video should arrive this evening.
So you were trying not to show us how hard the diesel was working, but it was still obvious from its black smoke. Shame it had to be there, those two could have taken 12 up the Lickey unassisted, but 12 plus that diesel would have been just too much. Good filming even so, really enjoyed that.
Not the biggest, not the most powerful, not the fastest. But if a single locomotive were to represent british steam it is the black 5.
Looks like being pushed?
Yeah the 47 is definitely helping out, you can tell by the amount of exhaust being thrown up from it
Great footage great sounds but even double headed a diesel is found on the back smoking.
3:12 conveniently cut out the fact that a chugging diesel on the back was far more than idle... steam spectators yet again with the derv doing all the work
It not like two black fives on the head is gonna do nothing, besides who minds the odd Duff?
@@TBone-bz9mp they'll do about as much as they would on a preserved line. Me, I mind all duffs on steam tours
@@PolishThatHandle346 sucks to be you then
@@TBone-bz9mp peole who pay a lot of money for what is supposedly a steam tour.
a hideous pile of scrap on the bck may not bother you, but even standdard tickets for day trips cost 120 quid now plus getting to and from start point plus hotel etc, gb tours cost about 3k. wonder why there would be any surprise that a steam enthusiast parting with 3 grand for a steam tour might object to the work being down by diesel, a form of traction available for rather cheaper every single day...
Wonderful photography..orrible beaurocracy. Why do they insist on the 47 when two up...ruins it.
That diesel on the back screws up an otherwise nice looking train.
Yeah, why do they put them?
If the steam breaks down there’s is something to tow it,sometimes to power the coaches and also helps steams up hills
@@lazerjet899overshoots8it's also to help the special charter fit into modern schedules. Steam engines often can't maintain the necessary diagrams to allow regular traffic to flow as normal so get a little help from the diesel at the back to keep to time if required.
@@Decrepit_biker whats the evidence on that and why has it only exploded as a thing in the past 5 years then? dont buy it, the train is presumably timed into a slot that is compatible with the speed allowed for the given loco...
@@lazerjet899overshoots8 helps steams up hills -so in other words destroying the whole point of steam on the mainline ie to see/experience them working hard
as for break downs, the loco are maintained to required standards, either those standards are good enough or they are not, if not they shouldn't be on the network anyway diesel or not. is a 60 year old rust bucket 47 really all that much more reliable anyway...
Brilliant video. I captured the double header at Twyford
