• Monarchs Of The Mainli...
This year's video compilation takes an extensive look at the some of the best mainline action across England featuring a mere 18 locomotives working their way over the UK mainline railway network. The Northern Hills takes centre stage this year for the best of the action with plenty of great performances and locomotives on show.
2019 would see many great scenes and a few iconic locomotives would return to action having spent a long time on the sidelines
Video highlights
7029 'Clun Castle' returns to the mainline
45596 'Bahamas' returns to the mainline'
6201 'Princess Elizabeth' returns to mainline action
Double headed steam over Sapperton Bank with 44871 & 61306

Great record of the year. Never cease to be in awe of all the time, effort and expertise you put into recording our steam heritage at work. Very grateful that you do so and are prepared to share for our enjoyment. The highlight of this collection for me is Lizzie - my favourite loco type- pounding through the pouring rain as sure footed as ever with her galloping up Ais Gill dry shod a close second - love the angle you got on that shot.
Mark, thank you for your kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed our coverage from 2019. Sorry about the late reply, your comment somehow went under the radar.
Regards, Liam

I'm an American, but I actually love British locomotives the most. They're elegant, sleek, clean, and colorful.
I agree, British steam locos are perhaps the most beautiful in the world.
And we are still building them .
It was Thomas that got me into British locomotives (and locomotives in general and British culture).
I'm an American and I agree.
As an old geezer I had the privilege of travelling on trains pulled by steam locos before diesel electrics came in. To be honest as a nipper they used to scare the crap out of me when stood next to the waiting loco. Wonderful video and thanks.
I worked on the construction of the new line that bye passes stone, Staffordshire. World Records were broken on this job with the fastest amount of track laid in 12 hrs. The junction the engine passes through is named after a Italian worker who sadly had a heart attack and lost his life while working on overhead lines. Great job, great memories. Great video👌
Nice work done. How this gigantic work might have been done is any body's guess.
Thank you for showing the whole train going past, not cutting as soon as the engine has gone by.
Watching from the Philippines! Good opportunity to watch while the Luzon Island of the Philippines is under Lockdown or Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) due to COVID-19
Love the way on the first clip instead of standing on the bridge you frame the engine using the bridge showing more of the wonderful location.
Just superb!!! Ideal viewing whilst my work has disappeared!! 👍😎👍
As ever great compilation of mainline steam in their finest hours during the 2019 season. Mostly this year has been dominated with the return to the mainline of the early pioneers of preservation like Bahamas & Clun Castle.
Great seeing you during the course of the year as well. Hope ya had a great Christmas & happy new year. Here's to 2020. Richard
Once again Liam and Phil, you are able to showcase the amazing footage you've captured during this current year...Stunning work throughout thanks to your dedication and hard work...Here's to another great year in 2020...Best wishes...Bob
Location, Location ... You got it Liam - fabulous stuff - Once again ... TOP Notch ....
Those LMS locos are really something else.... and so are the LNER and Southern locos too.....
Wow! Stellar camera work! It’s always nice to see the steamers of BR.
Great collection of locomotives lovely video well done.
Spectacular video really enjoyed it and hope you have a great Christmas 🎄
I absolutely love seeing all the beautiful engines charging by all the gorgeous designs and colors and sounds as they pound the rails! I have always felt the British engines are the most beautiful.
Wonderful I envy you guys
Cheers from South Africa
My Grandmother lived in London and survived the London Blitz of WW2. She often told stories of seeing the steam trains pull in and out of Paddington Station. At least now I have an idea of what that must have sounded like! Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦
Wishing a very merry Christmas to MSV and all of your subscribers ... Thanks for another year of wonderful entertainment 🎅🏻⛄️🎄🎁🎉🎊🎉🎊💕
Hi Sue, thanks very much and hope you have a good Christmas and new year. Kind regards, Liam
Second time of watching - superb, thanks for all your efforts
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, again !
Patrick Marshall
Wonderful collection, big thumbs up :)
Liam and Phil, thank you so much for this splendid compilation, not only providing great enjoyment in watching but also a testament to your 2019 achievements. Few words, but massive appreciation! Kind regards, Bob.
Bob, your kind words are always appreciated. Thanks as always.
Regards, Liam
Great stuff, but I''ll have to come back to it for more, later!
Superb, thank you for your time and effort.
Brilliant video well done great camera work as usual as well great stock of locomotives keep it up bye for now Philip
Really great ,in my thought old steam engines trains great
Perfect panned shots, my favourites, that's what I'd do if I stood to watch.!
Nice compilation.
Bring them back Beautiful machine s
Love them all, but I think Duchess of Sutherland is my favorite.
So very good
Awesome.
Fantastic. We like
You shouls do a whistle compilation. Great video
Muito lindo vídeo adorei os trens ótima tarde para todos
Hello. Nice video
Maybe its just me yet theirs something MAGICAL about a train unlike a bus ' boat' or plane' best to travel on
You feel moreat ease alsomuch better to look at when their at work the train
i love em i also love my thumping 500;cc Royal enfield single , someone said that we like these sounds because , when we were in the womb the only sound we could hear was your mothers
Heartbeat 😃😃😃😃👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
To all of you reading this, Merry Christmas!! And have a happy new year! :-)
50:33 That's a gloomy day!!
You too 🎄🎅🏻⛄️🎊🎉🎊🎉
Whilst I accept that after the rebuild Flying Scotsman is in effect a new engine. She really does sound and run like a freshly oiled sewing machine. Yet somehow she still retains the Gresley knock. Wonderful.
Don't knock it. LOL ;-)
Nice effort. But I have a few suggestions.
Firstly, the best part of a steam loco rushing past is the frenzied movement of its piston and connecting rod. That is truly exciting to watch. But sadly most of your shots missed them because the camera was aimed at the body of the engine.
Second many shots were from the same platforms that the trains passed on. Rather better shots could have neen from the opposite side platforms which give a fuller view of the engine and its piston and connecting rod and the train
Thirdly, the cameras should rotate as the engine passes to get a longer view of the engine. Sadly in many shots the camera was in a fixed direction only
Hopefully you will adopt these suggestions in your next compilation .
Greetings from India! You in the UK are lucky to have so many steam trains still in regular operation
Shot 7/100 @ 04.52 is 45690 'Leander' not Galatea as stated ! Sorry for that, in this video there's over 100 captions and this one slipped by ! A merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year !
Same to you. Many thanks for providing the excellent coverage of steam in the United Kingdom this year. Living in New Zealand, it's difficult otherwise to see such sights and sounds.
Wonderful video, the first one of Galatea (red livery) on the WCML, is actually Leander (black livery). Oops.
Cheers, indeed it was !
I want a ticket for one of those BR steam trains.
5:00 is that Leander, not Galatea?
Fantastic compliation of footage!! here's to 2020
Correct, I had over 100 captions to input in this video and although I checked everything, this one slipped my attention ! Thanks anyway =)
@@MarshSteamVideosTM no worries. still a great job.
When we were kids....we'd see a train coming...and run to the bridge to get engulfed in the smoke and steam....every train you saw you wished you were on it.....Today you see a train and walk away.....i wonder why.............Great shots without being intrusive and trespassing like some of the tosser spotters around today........
This is when the internet needs scratch and sniff :)
I think 45699 looks better in BR Crimson Lake.
Only one word brilliant steam trains better trains than the diesel and electric trains now
Great video! Just curious how do you know when and where an engine will be? Is there a website or app that tracks them?
Yes, there are few sites that list all the tours and then on the day you can track their movement through certain apps and sites. Thanks for watching.
@@MarshSteamVideosTM what are the sites that list the tours? thanks

Great compilation from the year, but still no 9Fs. Best of the lot. Are they not allowed on BR metals anymore?
The check rails on modern points means that there is a potential conflict with the centre flangeless wheels so no 9Fs for now. A few on heritage lines though.
@@Pesmog A few equals two I think.
@@984francis Have a couple come out of ticket recently as the NNR, NYMR, GCR and Watercress websites all show their 9F's as operational?. The 9F is a wonderful loco that I always enjoy riding behind. The NNR are very lucky to have two 2-10-0's with their WD Austerity as well as 9F Black Prince.
@@Pesmog I know the watercress lines 9f got withdrawn last autumn (if that helps).
Have any of you checked out the Union Pacific Big Boy steam locos? They are different level. Monsters.
Different (iron) horses for different courses. They are massive, but UK would never have any need of them. Due to the smaller loading gauge, the trick in the UK was to design a lot of power into a relatively small package. Even a simple Mikado design was found to have more power than needed to suit the requirements of the operating department. That is why the vast majority of the UK's largest freight locomotives are only 2-8-0 Consolidations (only one class of 2-10-0 and some military wartime 2-10-0's bought into service) and some Garrett locos built for a specific route. Passenger locomotives tend to be 4-6-0 Ten Wheelers or 4-6-2 Pacifics. (There was one small class of 6 2-8-2 Mikados built for one specific route) UK also has a much higher proportion of tank locomotives as well when compared to USA.
It's beyond me why anyone would vote this down
Liam, to give some perspective, how many preserved steam locos in the UK presently have certification to operate on main lines (and branch lines open to normal passenger trains i.e. not part of a preserved tourist railway?)
Mainline, of the top of my head, about 20, 21 I think. That number will fluctuate this year due to boiler tickets expiring and the return of a few locomotives having been overhauled. I've no idea of the current amount of preserved operational locomotives running on heritage/private railways. I'd hazard a guess, it's way north of 50+ !
@@MarshSteamVideosTM Certainly is way north of 50+ - probably well north of a hundred on heritage/private lines. Of course, they may be operational, but they won't all be operating every week. There are approx 180 heritage steam railway sites regularly open to the public in the UK + a number that are not yet ready to be open to the public on a regular basis, but still have operational locomotives in use from time to time for special events and service activity. We are so blessed with numbers of locomotives and more down the pipeline of restoration and 'new' build/replica in the UK. It's part Dai Woodham and part a British love for all things steam.
Good video. Most trains withouth modern loco's as a last (braking?) car. I have seen consists in Germany where they always put a modern loco behind those beautifull trains, even as hideous as a Gravita 🤔
I think they provide heat and power to the coaches, as well as the braking, like you say. Most modern coaches won't take steam heat
They are not there for braking. For some coach sets they provide power for the in train utilities, but primarily they are there for carriage movements on certain routes. There are very few places left on the Bristish Railway network where there is the infrastructure to handle single locomotive hauled trains. All passenger trains on the UK network are either multiple units or top and tailed. Therefore trains on a route where there is adequate infrastructure (eg somewhere like Kingswear) will usually never be towing a diesel - other routes such as the Pembroke Coast Express, where not only is the infrastucture lacking, but the train reverses for part of the route will always have a diesel on the tail. Sometimes diesels are also attached according to the requirements of the operating diagram of the trip - eg. the steam locomotive may not be rostered for the full round trip because it is required to be somewhere else the next day and the diesel will complete the trip. They are not there as sometimes espoused by armchair experts to 'help it up the hill', 'make sure it keeps to time' or 'for back up in case of breakdown'. There's even one guy on the web who insists that all steam trains in the UK are legally required to tow a diesel back up locomotive for safety and insurance purposes - in spite of being shown countless hours of video footage to the contrary. LOL. He knows who he is. (He also insists the GWR always put the smaller engine inside the larger when double heading)!!!
BTW - the 'modern' locomotives you refer to, are actually usually very old 'heritage' diesels themselves - often locomotives first put into service in the early 1960's and kept running by the tour operators pretty much just for this type of work!!!

14:59 How strange to see an upper quadrant semaphore on one line and a lower quadrant semaphore on the other. Does anyone know why?
Originally, before the railways were nationalised and became British Rail, the railways in the UK were owned by a variety of different companies. Some of those companies used upper quadrant and some of them (most notably, but not exclusively) used lower quadrant signals - The GWR was also right hand drive whereas the vast majority of companies were left hand drive. When British Railways took over they never chnged the semaphore signals to a nationwide uniform pattern. As lines were gradually upgraded and modernised semaphore signalling was replaced with colour light signalling (a process some companies had already started, but WW2 brought to a halt). The semaphore signalled stretches you are seeing are predominately of secondary cross country routes or relief routes, as the vast majority of UK mainlines are now colour light signalled.
Name of the train is not visible. One can't read it. Font of lettering not good
Terrific videography. Great quality.
How does one establish whether a particular UK operator's steam mainline tour will (or will not) have diesel assistance at the rear? I would prefer to travel on tours that do NOT have diesel assistance, but operators do not seem to mention this in their tour notes. Given I like many am overseas, it's helpful to know this information in advance.
Thanks Edmund. Here's a list of what should run unassisted.
Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express (london start only) Shap, S&C
The Dalesman, S&C !
The Fellsman, S&C
The Cotswold Venturer (likely)
The Cotton Mills Express (Miles Platting, Standedge, Copy Pit)
The Great Britain (Certain days)
The Royal Duchy to Cornwall (Summertime)
Scarborough Spa Express (Summertime)
Shakespeare Express (Summertime)
The Bard Of Avon (Summertime)
There's plenty of other day excursions that run, but it's a lottery whether it runs as 'Pure Steam' !
If you get to the point of booking a trip, let me know I might be able to advise you better near the date.
Regards, Liam
@@MarshSteamVideosTM Liam, huge thanks. The operators ought disclose this on their websites, Facebook pages and brochures. The UK almost certainly has the highest number of mainline steam tours in the world though, a great achievement. Quality video from you and others makes these tours come alive to those of us thousands of kilometres away.
Wow. Get these shots up on TV! They're something else . Thanks to dedicated filmsters for this exceptional compilation. Regards JR.
@@johnream7132 Agreed! Wholeheartedly, especially if you live in a place where you can crank the volume to the max without having the neighbours call the police. Home cinema with full on sound system - awesome. My Spanish father in law sat and binge watched for hours when he discovered he could get youtube on our big wall mounted TV.

🚂👍👏
Are these trains regular service or are they special excursions?
They are all excursions except for a few locomotive test runs.
Sort of both - in as much some excursions have a regular running timetable through the year as opposed to what is usually thought of as an excursion being a one off, special event, so in the traditional sense some of these are more akin to the regular seasonal specials that maybe ran on a weekly basis through a period of the year, and then some are pure excursions ie one offs and private/corporate charters. Here is the core timetable from last year - you can see as you get closer to summer the number of 'regular' repeat services increase, as they do towards Christmas as well, but outside the main holiday seasons there is a greater preponderance of one off excursions and charters.

Masters of the main line. Not masters of the mainline. It's two words
In reference to railways it's one word, it always has been. Thanks for the nitpicking and positive feedback on my video.
