UK Steam Train Action Of 2021

With 2021 now drawn to a close, it's once again time for the annual round up video, looking back at all the various happenings in the UK's main line and heritage line steam scene that I managed to capture, and it's a big one! Despite the UK still being in the midst of a global pandemic, 2021 was a bit of a bumper year, as far as filming goes, with so many highlights and memorable moments, all brought together in this two hour long steam spectacular.
Filmed on a Panasonic HC-X1500 with an Audio-Technica BP4025 microphone.

I like the fact that no only show the train but around the train the landscape.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Pykem]

This is superb, thank you. Excellent cinematography, UK rural scenery and steam locomotives - what more could you want!

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Thank you very much! 😄

[@SkwashimusPrime]

Absolutely love your videos. Great shots and I love that you capture the magic of the little things too. I’m not the only one either - my 2yo adores your videos, and you’re often the reason tantrums stop!!

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Much appreciated! Thank you 😄

[@northernutahlivesteam3566]

Another great video! Love the iconic English countryside. Thanks for doing the work and thanks for sharing.

[@robmasterman]

It's taken me a week to see it all Kris, and I enjoyed every single minute of it. You must be congratulated in capturing so much stunning work during these difficult times. Every one is a Gem in its own right, and the work you and your father put into getting to these spectacular locations are to be applauded...Looking forward to what 2022 brings..Bob

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Appreciate you taking the time to get through it all, Bob, thank you! 😄 Dad definitely does deserve credit, as I wouldn't be able to get to 95% of these locations, if it weren't for him.

[@tomdixon2269]

What a completely glorious video

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Thank you! 😄

[@lonskieg]

I always just leave my PC with this video running. Great video as always.

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Thank you! 😄

[@EpicNotch]

Amazing Video work once again, had the whole thing on in the background whilst studying and is super relaxing. Keep it up lad x

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Thanks very much, squire 😄 Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@HenrysAdventures]

Fantastic video!

[@callumthornelow2936]

Brilliant shots Kristian. 2021 has been a pretty good year compared to 2020 (Not that that's setting the bar very high) Looking forward to a promising 2022.

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Cheers, Callum 👍 Indeed, it should be a decent year, fingers crossed!

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Small correction: at 58:36, that should be Kennet & Avon Canal, not Wilts & Berks.

[@acersalman8258]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@edwardbull3045]

Fabulous video! You must come down to Didcot at some point this year :)

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Thanks! 😄

[@finbarholt]

mega mate how did you fade the images together in a thumbnail to make it look better?

[@sodorsteamstudios]

Could I use these sounds for my own projects

[@Philb68888]

Great video. What cameras did you use?

[@SpeedToTheWest]

Thanks. I currently use a Panasonic HC-X1500e.

[@Philb68888]

@@SpeedToTheWest do you record in 4K or HD?

[@SpeedToTheWest]
