- LMS Stanier Class 5 44871 was the motive power from Carnforth to Preston via Carlisle and the Settle Carlisle line for todays Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express which originated out of London Euston, we first see the 5 with eleven on and 57601 on the rear from Shap Wells in between showers then on the return from Birkett Common where Class 56 56105 thankfully failed to spoil the shot, thanks to Steve for the crack and company and good to chat with David Edgar at Shap Wells and Luke (Black Country Steam Videos ) and Liam (Liam's Locos ) at Birkett Common, thanks for watching.
A joy to watch Nige. Good locations to capture the spectacle and sound of the 5 working so well. Great composition in the early part of the first shot with the hills in the background towering above the train. Take care - Chris
Many thanks Chris, we were very lucky how the conditions changed in our favour as you couldn’t see the hills when we first arrived on Shap then we went to Aisgill but it was miserable when we arrived so diverted to Birkett where the rain only started on the way back to the car, cheers nige 👍
Who would have though that more than half a century after the demise of steam, sights and sounds like this would still be found. Fantastic !! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Robert, I’m sure no one back in the late sixties would have bet that mainline steam would make a return at all and in such a big way like we see today, it certainly cheered up lots of young trainspotters from the sixties 😀 cheers 👍
Ooh nice one again Mr N thanks for sharing this with us much appreciated
My pleasure Louise, glad you enjoyed watching, many thanks cheers 👍
Excellent footage once again Nige, nowt like the sight and sound of a 'Black Un' on both banks. Hard to choose a fave from the pool of Stanier 5's...
Ta very much again Nige, for being there.
Many thanks George, just love the 5s especially when they are barking so hopefully we’ll get to see this one again when she moves up to Fort William next month, cheers nige 👍
Spot on Nige and good panning. Good to see the 5 in action and not running late for a change.👍
Thanks David, yes a nice change to have a noisy loco barking up Shap and yes on time 😂 cheers 👍
Great footage Nigel. I really love the long approach shot at the Shap Wells location and Birkett was always a favourite on the S & C 😊
Thanks Keith, it’s a great vantage point from Shap Wells and higher up but it wasn’t looking like that when we first arrived as you couldn’t see much further than Salterwath , Birketts ideal for multi shots, cheers 👍
Super video Nige. Lovely long pan shot as it progresses up the WCML. Great cameo shots of the colas grid. 🤓 Well done 🤓
Thanks Anthony that’s much appreciated, the 56 couldn’t have timed it better to appear just as the tour went passed the last camera, cheers 👍
Absolutely cracking shots Nige, certainly was barking some arse. Hopefully we might catch up in August as we are spending a month in UK. Cheers Richard.
Thanks for your lovely comments Richard, always great to see a Black 5 giving it all, you never know if you’re in the north west so hopefully there’ll be plenty of steam action for you, cheers nige👍
Superb Nige, the 56 at the end was a nice surprise!
Many thanks Paul, it certainly was as we weren’t expecting anything else and luckily it didn’t spoil the shot, cheers 👍
Nige, It's not often you can get a good clear shot from Greenholme to Shap Wells but it worked for you on this occasion. Well captured. Regards, John
Many thanks John, it wasn’t like that when we arrived as we first went to Salterwath but the rain was straight at us so we decided to try Shap Wells for some shelter even then you couldn’t see Scout Green for the mist but luckily about 20 mins before it cleared out nicely, regards nige 👍
Awesome capture! Thumbs Up
All the best from Romania
Andrew
Many thanks for your lovely comment Andrew, glad you enjoyed watching, cheers nige👍
Super smooooth pan at Shap Nige, very lucky with the weather today and a great to see the B5 doing a great job, with a little help, Birkett a good spot which i have only done once and lucky to not get bowled, perfect timing, cheers Steve .🎥👍🙂
Thanks Steve, the weather worked perfectly for a change improving when required, an ideal engine for this one making herself well heard, surprised you don’t try Birkett more often and the 56 timed it just right when to appear 😂 cheers 👍
Well nige what can I say nice to see number 5 back on the rails brilliant videoing 😊
Thanks Graham that’s much appreciated, makes a change to see a 5 on the WCME, cheers 👍
This engine was based at Trafford Park MPD (9E). So on checking my diaries from my BR days, 21/May/1965, when I first fired this engine as a passed cleaner on Trafford Park East End Sidings. There were other several occasions when 'our paths crossed' ...😊
Thanks for the info George, with your connections to 44871 you’ll be pleased this one survived the cutters torch then, cheers nige👍
Brillaint video! I saw her at Carlisle.
Thanks Henry, it was great to see the Black 5 have a good run out and a nice change, cheers 👍
Cracking long shots Nige, best engine for a while! 🍻
Thanks Ian, always great to see a Black 5 and yes certainly the loudest, cheers 👍
Great video Nige, my plan was to go somewhere on Shap but when I got to the summit the visibility was awful so I turned around and headed north of Penrith. It looks like the mist eventually cleared for you. It looks like you were really lucky at Birkett with diesel coming the other way.
Thanks Alistair, yes we were a bit disappointed with the conditions when we first arrived that’s why we went to the woods but were pleasantly surprised how it cleared out and stopped raining, we weren’t expecting anything as it wasn’t on RTT but luckily just as the tour had passed the last camera the 56 shot passed, couldn’t have been any closer 😂 cheers 👍
If I had thought that there was a chance it would have cleared I would have stayed down there but it was not looking that good. I had spoken to Bob first thing and he had decided not to come out as the weather in Barrow was really poor@@nige7577
Great sight and sounds from the Black Five Nige. Super video. Cheers - Allan. 🙂
Many thanks Allan, great to see the 5 on the tour and barking well, cheers nige👍
I always love to see a Black 5, just something about them! Nice video Nige, hope you didn’t get too wet!
Thanks Mathew, as they say the only thing better than a Black 5 is a pair of 5s, we were lucky no rain while filming which makes. change, cheers 👍
Superb Nige , cracking noise from 44871 and glad the fog/rain disappeared 👍🎥
Thanks Steve, 44871 was just the job on Shap barking away nicely and lucky the weather worked for us, cheers 👍
Well captured Nige, we were so lucky that the fog cleared at Shap Wells and what a cracking noise from 44871 despite the assistance. Going well at Birkett too
Thanks Austin, certainly wasn’t expecting it to clear out like it did which was a nice bonus, yes the 5 was certainly barking well on the climb up Shap, cheers 👍
Another superb video and nice capturing the 56. Perfect timing
Many thanks Jed, we were lucky as we weren’t expecting anything else when the 56 shot passed and yes perfect timing 😂 cheers 👍
Excellent work Nige.
Thanks Alan glad you enjoyed watching, cheers 👍
Wish you could’ve saw the two class 47s at Acton bridge
We saw the 47s when we stopped at Aisgill, cheers 👍
Excellent footage there Nige. The Five sounds great climbing Shap
Thanks Andrew, she’s certainly making herself heard, cheers 👍
Well done Nige on a murky wet day but a good result against the odds. Brian
Thanks Brian, we were very lucky as it was miserable when we arrived at Shap Wells but cleared out just at the right time then we went up to Aisgill but it was lousy up there so retreated to Birkett Common where if stayed fine and just started raining on the way back to the car, cheers nige👍
Great work once again chap, thanks.👍👍
Thanks Barry that’s much appreciated, cheers 👍
For next month on the second of march this loco 44871 will be ruling the roast of the west coast mainline
That’s something for you to look forward too Scott, cheers 👍
@@nige7577yeah Nigel
The Black 5 barking in top notch form after probably a period of winter maintenance and an unusual choice being a Riley loco running
what is normally a WCR featured tour?👍
Thanks Stephen, had just come out a couple of weeks ago after winter maintenance, WCRC only have Tangmere that is air braked and available at the moment due to the issues with the CDL coaches and both of Riley’s 5s are air braked so a good runout for the 5 before heading to Fort Bill next month, cheers👍
Super video Nige :)
Thanks Simon that’s much appreciated, cheers 👍
Excellent video! Did you film it on the S&C later?
Yes you did, but I was at Ais Gill and *** missed it! So damn annoying!
Thanks Nigel, we went up to Aisgill but it was too wet and wind when we got there so decided to do Birkett Common, cheers 👍
Great video Nige
Thanks for watching Josh and for your lovely comment, cheers nige 👍
Great video. Was the first part filmed at Scout Green!?
Thanks Jimmy, I was filming from Shap Wells looking south where the train first appears out of Greenholme cutting passing the White House towards Scout Green, cheers 👍
@nige7577 ahh right yea, thanks. 👍
Also, is that 56105 at the end!?
@@jimmystransportmarvels8815 Yes just as the tour had passed the last camera 56105 shot out of Birkett Tunnel so we were lucky not to bowled.
Another lovely video nige well done great 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
