  • Wow.. What a day out on this Steam Dreams tour to Lincoln with the superstar that is 4498 'Sir Nigel Gresley'.
    See shots of the trip from Ealing Broadway, Lincoln and a couple of other stops in-between. I didn't film that much during the day as I wanted to enjoy the experience rather than focusing completely on the filming.
    The one stand out from the day is how popular this loco is - When you're sat on the service watching the huge numbers of people out at all sorts of vantage points to see the loco and get photos/videos - It makes you realise how hugely popular this loco is.. Literally thousands of people lined the route in both directions - It was staggering to see.
    A few different viewpoints as you can't film the departures when you're on the service itself, however hopefully you enjoy the video!
    Thanks for watching.

    Enjoyed the video a lot, a A4 will take some beating in my book, i was lucky enough to walk through the tender onto the footplate and then ride there from Grosmont to Goathland with SNG, will never forget that, cheers for showing...Mal

    Don't worry about not getting lots of footage, I would imagine sticking your head out the window at 60-75mph is probably strongly disapproved 🤣🤣🤣.
    Great shots from what you did manage to capture 👍👍

      The windows have bars across nowadays so they block you doing that.

    Quite an unusual starting point for a steam charter.

    • @trainsplanes

      It’s was a very quick stop - Everyone onboard rapidly as the platform is used for be Elizabeth line with departures every 6-7 mins.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with such a super loco in charge. Saw you go by at Werrington.

    Much as enjoy watching trains from the station/lineside, I have never seen the attraction of riding a train being hauled by a specific heritage steam or diesel loco. Would someone care to enlighten me?

    Does anyone know what the different name plate colours mean. if they even have meaning. like it used to be red and gold now black and gold.

    Annoying! Never happened when I was stationed at either camp nearby? The highlight of the railway at Lincoln for me was a day trip to Cleethorpes!

    Enjoy it on the east coast while you can, before digital signalling is rolled out…

    You had more patients to get some better shots than me 😁.
    We were also on that trip sitting in Carriage A.
    A lovely day out. Nice video 👍. The market was also excellent.
    @HawkerFury if your interested in my shots.

    • @trainsplanes

      Thanks - Good shots yourself.. The moves at Lincoln required some patience indeed - Not sure why those pair of units had been left in the sidings knowing SNG was booked to be in there for the afternoon.
