Ah, that's why West Coast were hiring in stock, they had a lot on that weekend. The moment when the Azuma comes flying through the steam looks amazing! Looks rather Harry Potter
Nice loco, but why do english steam locos blow their steam in front of the loco? Because of that the engineer cant see anything in front of him at the departure. 🤔
When the loco has been stationary for a while, steam in the cylinders will have condensed back to water. Unless this is blown out, there is a risk of damage, as water does not compress. Having said that, it can be a nice visual effect; we keep the cocks open leaving the station for our santa specials, to shroud the carriages in steam. On the other hand, it can prevent the crew seeing the line ahead, so you have to trust that no idiots have wandered onto the track.
something similar-ish happened in 2013 on the London Underground during 'Steam On The Met' - the steam train left the station in a fog of smoke, there was a flash of light and an electric train arrived from the same tunnel! czcams.com/video/EF4GkCk7BMU/video.html
Most terminal stations have lost their run-round facilities and their turntables, so the trains regrettably have to be topped and tailed in order to exit those stations. It can, however double the chances of seeing them if the trains have to be turned elsewhere over night, as when the great Britain Tour went to King's Lynn. It left to be turned at Ely, then came back the following day in order to resume the tour.
@@jamtart606 Yes, you are right. I had forgotten about that, but on the same subject of ETH- I have seen railtours (in warm weather) with class 66 locos, but I do not know if they are ETH fitted? One other thing, and again I am not certain, I think some early steam railtours needed a diesel to supply air for the train Westinghouse brakes before the locos were fitted with their own pumps?
@@MervynPartinClass 66s are not fitted with ETH, if they are doing railtours then generally either a Mk1 or Mk2 Generator Coach is used to provide power supply to the coaches & the kitchen etc
@@jamtart606Yes, something else that I had forgotten and I have actually seen them on a class 66 hauled tour to Middleton Towers. We don't get many rail tours in my area (West Norfolk) and they fade from memory (plus my brain is getting old!).
The Azuma appearing out of the steam was amazing.
Wow, the aerodynamics seem great! The steam hardly got pulled along at all

Makes a nice metaphor, the old loco gracefully dissapearing into a cloud of steam and a clean future train emerging from it
Lovely shot and not spoiled by the Azuma.
Nice catch. With that low lying steam cloud, I bet the Azuma driver thought what the hell is this up ahead! 👍💯🇬🇧
That was a dream catch. Lucky you.
Azuma though the stream just looked majestic
I filmed 44871 a couple of weeks ago at Acton Bridge, it was a nice steamy surprise! 👍🏻😁🚂
That was an amazing sight. Really atmospheric ( hope the Azuma driver wasn't too unnerved by it)🙂

They are having to hire in stock with central door locks, none of their mkI stock has them fitted…….yet.
That was a nice pull away for the black 5, very smooth with no problems at all.
I think there may have been a slight slip, but very well controlled by the driver.
Wow,that startled me. Very cool indeed
Look how the azuma train emerges from the smoke after the black 5 pulled out of the platform on the other side
"Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be Mallard!"
Superb catch ! 👍
right time right place, you kept your head good job
Ну очень символично.Встреча двух эпох.
Superb video David regards kevin😊
Lovely video, nice steam locomotive in action! Thumbs Up & Subscribe
All the best from Romania

Usually, having another train photobomb the one ur recording is annoying...
...but not this time.
Danke das Sie so schöne Aufnahmen gemacht haben. 👍👍❤️Gruß aus Elsfleth Deutschland.

Very nice view.👍🌹🇵🇰🇵🇰
Great timing! Subscribed 👍
Awesome video !
Great picture at the start. Would make a good jigsaw puzzle
Why wouldn't an Azuma appear on the line it runs on?
Great video! I've subscribed!
Thanks 🚂
Nice Video
Liked the steam.blowout.
Beautiful train!
Nice contrast in centuries with the passing Azusa!
Azuma jumpscare
That was fun.
Nice departure.😀
Mais fácil uma antiga funcionar depois de 90 anos do que uma moderna.

😂 mein Gott, der fährt ja gegen die Nebelwand, wenn dass mal gut geht 😅😂
Good movie
Why is it necessary to have a diesel engine on the rear?
To provide electrical power for the train
@@AndreiTupolev Thanks Andrei, that makes perfect sense.
Why do they have to have a diesel at the end they never used to have them

@@MervynPartinIt's also to supply ETH I believe.
