- 2019 has so far been a year of 'firsts' for me, and this streak has continued with my first video of a Vintage Trains tour since they've started their TOC as well as my first video of GWR Castle Class 7029 'Clun Castle' returning to the mainline after restoration. The video sees the Castle take the Cotswold Explorer from Dorridge to Oxford, via Kemble on the outward and Evesham on the return.
The video starts just north of Dorridge station taken from the footbridge by the level crossing, where 7029 gets the tour off to a powerful start! The next shot sees Clun flying along passed a foot crossing just south of Blakedown Station. The third shot sees the Castle making a spirited departure from Worcester Shrub Hill passing the several semaphores still in use on the line. The next and main shot of the day was on Sapperton bank where 7029 barks and roars passed as she curves to the summit/tunnel. The final shot sees the return on the single track section from Oxford, seen passing Fawler on the approach to Finstock.

Pure Power the closest thing to a living machine, how any one can dislike this footage is beyond me.. thanks for sharing.
Might be that they did not read all of the description, so did not realise that the second shot was not filmed by trespassing trackside, but was filmed from a foot crossing.
Superb, thank you.
the Mighty Clun ❤❤
one of the best quality steam videos i have ever viewed..the panning/zooming/locations/positioning of the camera plus no camera shake evident..what a pleasure..thank you
Beautifully filmed with brilliant panning. Looks highly professional and well done! 😎👍😎
Superb capture of this splendid machine. I first saw "Clun Castle" undergoing its restoration and ,as a retired Aircraft Engineer, was amazed by the beautifully machined front driving axle with the capacity for the two inside cylinders. Quite magnificent! Many thanks for your patience and skill behind the Camera.
What do you mean, "closest thing to a living machine"? Clun Castle is a living machine. You are right in one respect, Mark Wilson, how can anyone dislike Clun Castle powering along at full speed? OK, I don't really love her all that much, but never knock a Great Western Engine performing faultlessly when you see one. Now that's what I call pure Great Western Magic.
Good to see Clun again, back where she should be. Sir, fine filming and audio. Many thanks.
Lovely seeing 7029 running after seeing a painting of her for many years in a relatives house! Thanks, Tom
What a remarkable stentorian departure !Pure Great Western scene with the semaphore signals still in use.The English countryside looking breath taking.
I love it!
That's one of the best-made train videos I've ever seen! Thanks!
Excellent video that really captures the atmosphere of steam.
Amazing coverage of this wonderful loco in fine form. Thank you for sharing your footage regards Ian Swindon.
A fantastic bit of filming I have seen.
Good luck with lots more Sir.

Super shots!
Excellent footage in all respects. Magnificent.
Thanks! Tom
a GREAT WHISTLE TONE, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT
Excelente videoooo!!!
Great coverage and locations and a busy but worthwhile chase..... Very enjoyable, thanks, Brian.
Thanks Brian! Definitely looking forward to my next chase with 7029! Tom
I'm in Birmingham Tom so usually stay quite local to see her but if you're chasing her this Saturday I'll be on board enjoying the fine dining lol. ... Brian.
Shivers down my spine every single time!
Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Moises Kabir instablaster :)
@Xzavier Calvin Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Xzavier Calvin it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Moises Kabir Happy to help =)
Great video.
Great! Liked 👍👍👍
Excellent !!
Thanks! Tom
I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 67 Octagon and Every 37 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 18 Tonnes for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!!!! And Please do something about these Very Very Very Very Very Very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Bravo et merci .
Thanks! Tom
Super grat video, big thumbs up :)
Thanks! Tom :)
Great video
Thanks! Tom
Nice clip.
Nice.
Great shots of real engineering & the power of steam👍 Always a pity to see the diesel at the back. Assuming for UK regulations etc.
For operational purposes.
How do you reach the shot at Sapperton Bank? Whole area looks like a Jungle!
head down arse up job happy days then 🤣🤣🤗
outatanding captures
Thanks! Tom
Apparently, 3 people don't like this......
Amazing.....
Why the box at the back, with only 8 on?
ETS & operational purposes.
Michael , apparently it's now regulatory on steam hauled mainline trains for several reasons. For train heating, in the event of any reversing needed as steam locos arent permitted to reverse on th Main Line & lastly ( heaven forbid 😄 ) if there is a loco failure. With nine on, the diesel rarely assists. Hope this explanation helps clarify 😎
@@davetaylor2370 No,it's not regulatory, as several steam tours operate solo. Any assisting loco is provided for whatever the operational reasons are. In the main it's for train heating(ETS), & / or shunting purposes. Rarely are the diesel locos on the rear there purely to push! But, in the event they are required, then the driver up front(as I have been) communicates by radio with the rear loco(also as I have been) to 'assist'! There is definitely no regulation involved,and it's all down to what control/operations say. Hope this helps.
Why are British steam locos so small both south Africa and New Zealand ran heavier 484s than anything in Brittan and on 3ft6 in Gage.
Umh, New Zealand 4-8 -4s are not as big as you think and British high - performance passenger locos are not as small as you think.
I'm in NSW Australia and we had the Beyer Garrett 4-8-4+4-8-4 AD60 class, massive locos, which were British design, but still don't compare to the precision and fine engineering of a GWR 4-6-0 at full song!
So are the Steamers fitted with CBTC?

Well what a great vid !
Excellent camera positioning shots, well done! Really like this one especially :-) czcams.com/video/3MqaM7KZle0/video.html
Climate change, Air pollution, whats that all about then......
