- Robins sing, doves coo and traffic hisses away in the background, but in the distance 5029 Nunney Castle is making a sure-footed start from Bath Spa station with its Weymouth-bound train. An expectant crowd waits in Sydney Gardens and is not disappointed as the Castle thunders by.

For those of us. Who would rush down to the railway lines after school to catch the Glasgow Inverness flyer secretly hoping it had a name as well as a number,indeed praying it was a first time sighting to underlined it in my book brought so much joy,and for those of you who are criticizing don’t try to understand because you never will.........regards....steam man.🚂
This is a work of art. I love the beginning: looking down the track surrounded by 19th century English infrastructure, listening to English fauna in the background, all of it setting the mood. And then, ever so faintly, we here that un-mistakable sound, building to a crescendo as she comes into view. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Nicely written!!👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
QQQQQQQQAAWAAAWQAAA
yes
Oh I love those old horses. The smell of the burning charcoal, the chugging sound, and the engine. Old is gold or gold is old.
Not charcoal, the real thing, with sulphur.
But bad for the environment
@@babybear131 Ah yes, because diesel exhaust fumes-and much more of them-is so much healthier.
As a child in Australia I lived a few kilometers from a railroad. I would often fall asleep to the sounds of a steam engine huffing and puffing and blowing its whistle in the distant. It’s one of my fondest memories from my early life.
Thank you for a beautifully shot video (or was it film, which is even more impressive!).
From California.
Oh to have been there just for those few brief moments to see this magnificent living breathing mechanical beast doing its thing and passing by at full throttle! What an experience and what a thrill!
Not quite at speed yet - but a lovely mix of sound and picture as she slowly gathers speed to emerge out of the tunnel and pass us.
I've read some of the comments about the "wasted" time at the beginning of this video and personally, the soundscape at the beginning builds up the drama of the scene. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience as it showed the main event to its full extent. A steam loco working hard and driven well is more than a visual experience- it is sound as well and the echo of the exhaust from the tunnel and bridges is very much part of it. Those who would've cut out the "wasted" time are missing the point IMHO. If they had their way, the video would start with the loco 30 metres away from the camera and end once it went out of shot. Each to their own I say...
Well said...I've seen photographers 'snap' the engine and scurry off before the train has even begun to pass by - no doubt to rush off to the next location to shoot it again! Savour the moment I say - listen to it getting nearer - and listen to it fade away! Cheers, Will.
one thing about those old British coaches, they may BE old, but they never LOOK old
In India heritage runs with vintage steam engines are organized in the winter months. But unfortunately they don't use the old coaches. I believe the old coaches were mostly made of wood and are either decayed beyond repair or are not safe to run anymore. Many are displayed in various museums though
Apart from when you come to carnforth

I was there in 1952/3 where I learnt to love trains. (And got over the low wall to petrify my Mother.)
I can imagine her distress! Herby - come here immediately!
Reminds me of the Great Central going through the Aylestone Meadows Leicester. My Dads allotment use to back on to the railway and the sound and sight of the steam trains coming through and then as the sound faded away the sound of the skylarks and other wildlife would slowly return to fill the void until the next steam train........Just beautiful memories for me of English childhood summer days.......
Man I love old train but also impressed with the 9 years old video quality of this footage taken from a personal camera.
Professional digital camcorders with quality images have emerged since 2005
I remember lying in bed and listening to the noises from the shunting yard as a 4 or 5 year old. A couple of years later I was lucky enough to have a footplate ride on Mallard on the turning triangle at Grantham.
A glorious sight. Thank you for posting.
Seeing the steam railway always charmed me so much.
Like 4 days ago, when me and Dad were right by the tracks, (we went back every time that a train came past!) a steam train came past, and I got so shocked! We saw ICE´s too!
My only disappointment on my Orient Express trip was that we were pulled by an electric engine! Would have been so “Agatha Christie” if there was a Steam Engine pulling the consist of restored passenger wagons. I did ride a lot of European steam trains when I was stationed in Germany in the 70’s though! Nothing like the distinctive whistle sound of the Daylight 4449, with smoke billowing along the engine top to the streamline cars behind. A special visual treat on the horseshoe curve just north of San Luis Obispo, CA. When one is in the observation car at the rear and better still if it is from the outdoor platform of “Private Varnish”
I've chased a lot of steam in the states and my shots tend to all look the same.
I love the sound and how the engine is framed by all the bridges, great job!
Oh that 1:20 is just fabulous. It gives the tremendous sense of the impending - you can really feel it. Provides a lot, you're listening for every sound, not hearing it yet, just like the people gathered for the real event! And then the thing arrives! Wow! Makes it great!
The force of the stack-blast against the undersides of the bridges is really impressive. Gives you a sense of the power being brought to bear in those cylinders.
Awesome!!
I remember coming to this park as a kid and watching the trains go by. After what happened in 2018 they got fences around all of the walls so you cant see as well as you used to :(
This was surprisingly relaxing!
I remember as a young boy going down to Sydney Gardens to watch the trains.
Nice vantage point here and a beautiful engine at work.
The train does not emerge until 1:29 - just over half-way through the video.
Probably having left Bath Spa Station at the time, which is the other side of the tunnel......
I am always fascinated by steam engines.
Impressive acceleration !
It was awsum to see such majestic engine still exist & running.
It's amazing how relatively small the UK is landwise, yet how many railroads they have!
Fantastic bit of video.... love the sound before the train comes into view...👍😎
It's amazing that you can hear that steam loco so long before it comes into view. I guess the tunnel amplifies the sound.
My thoughts exactly, tunnel echoes or smth
Sooty, smoky smelly things. I love 'em. British engineering at its best 👍
Love the sound of it.
The video is great and the first minute or so adds to it. At the beginning you can hear the castle slowly building up speed.
Wow! I really with I had some scenery like that when I railfan! Those old moss covered bridges so do make the scene!! :]
I love how steam locomotives put a smile on people's faces.😃
Awesome! thanks for sharing!
Waving like a windmill! Awwwwww thats so funny!
Beautiful locomotive!
it's an audio visual thing -
excellent build-up, good timing, good camera-angle and standpoint, one of my very rare thumbs up awards.
Nice. Could almost imagine it was during a pre-war period. Almost like going back in time.
How cool is that - Thanks for sharing!
how nice to hear such wonderful sounds and no stupid horn
Wow, more of a technological leap than I realized between the X14 and the X15...
Great little sequence, thanks for uploading! I hear that Network Rail have put up some sort of fence in Sydney Gardens now, prior to overhead electrification work, which seems a great shame.
Loved the lens on that camera it took you from the tunnel right back to the actually camera position. Very well done
The first 1.20 seems to be focus of much derision, cant see why it gives an opportunity to admire a mass of Victorian railway architecture lots of which which has sadly disappeared since Beeching. Steam videos are not solely about the locomotive there are many enjoyable aspects
ah well, we all have our different ways!
thanks for your comment - my camera is a SONY - HDR SR1
Whoa. That opening shot. Never been there but swear I've been through there in a dream - and yes, on a train. Spooky!
No diesel at the rear, that’s because at Bristol, the steam Loco can run around its own train.
Nice footage! For all impatient viewers like me...The Train appears at around 1:25... ;-)
The footage of the train was great but after I first started watching it I thought that there was something behind my monitor that had blocked the train, but after a few checks I suddenly heard the sound of the train from my speakers.
You ok ?
@@ramu992 My use of situational or maybe verbal irony was obviously lost on you.
@@brianwilliams9706 It's OK, Brian. Ramu and 1000 of his close personal friends are out looking for that lost "iron".
They may check "behind monitor",,,, often. Namaste,
awesome video steam train fantastic
steam train at speed, very nice video :)
I almost applauded its appearance!
Well filmed, love the anticipation at the beginning.
It's look amazing
Love from India(Bharat) 🇮🇳
Stupenda inquadratura !!! Complimenti!
Its strange that people wave to a steam train but there again I do it too Its like waving to a queen of the railroad
great video is a great location liked
Fantastic capture........
Super video!
# number - just one of a series, I'm afraid - check out steam train at speed 2 or 95 in HD for my favourites
It's sound is so great and refreshing and unique. Now a days we miss it in India
Lovely staemer, nice video.
Very well-done Vid....! Thanks for posting and sharing....! Gordon
I miss those trains!!
I like the sound of the pigeon.
The interesting thing is that you can pack the entire Hogwarts Magic school student body on that train! I’d say that means 180 students total. Of course, in the Great Hall there looks to be maybe twice that. But the rule is that every student arrives by that single train.
I might be wrong but we only ever see the interior of two coaches. So maybe a few of the coaches have been enchanted to have gigantic interiors to accommodate the entire student body. Or it’s just a standard train for a movie about a magical school.
...is it ok that I say "that train almost looks like the Hogwarts Express"?
P3anutcody96 you look one of them.your face tells it all
Hog warts express is fictional lol...it can look whatever it feels like haha...
The Hogwarts engine is actually a great western engine
The hogwarts express is a hall class, this is a castle class, bigger and more powerful,and a king class is bigger than the castle, and the manor class is smaller than the hall class.
@@buffplums they used a real train you know
Nice
Could have done with starting the video at 1:20 in, I waited so long for the train I thought I’d missed it!
Agree! Who wants to look at an empty tunnel?
Excellent video! 5*
Awesome underpass views. I bet that would make a cool Facebook cover photo !!!
Thanks for sharing I liked and subbed to your channel 😃👍
Very good
@SPD1E same ! or old ladies walking up the platform, your waving your arm telling her to move and she dont see :(
What a great place to wait. The train is slowing down for the curves. But is it safe to stand so close?
One of the busiest castles in the world at her best :3
What a beauty!
Really gets me when people moan about "someone in their camera shot" to start with its a free country.pick another spot. 2nd if you were that fussed go ask him to move politely of course. everyones entitled to enjoy seeing these on the line. we don't all have to jump out of the way because YOU think its your right to have the most perfect picture.
Imagine trying to breathe in the last coach in that tunnel, must be suffocating
Superb video
What a wonderfully framed shot. Pity there is no music ....?
Reminds me of my childhood.
I reqest the railway authorities to start one train with steam locomotive, Canadian engine in south eastern railway route particularly with mumbai howrah mail. If introduced again people will love this train and enjoy a lot. Thanks
A BHASKAR
I also am fond of steam locomotives (in fact, I consider electric or diesel locos only boxes on wheels). I propose of running at least one mail train from four big stations (out of which, three were grand railway terminals) i.e. one from Howrah for South-Eastern Railway, one from Howrah for Eastern Railway, and one from Sealdah for Sealdah-bound Eastern Railway, and one from Chitpore also. May the Mumbai-Howrah Mail, as Mr. Bhaskar proposed, can be among those mail trains, but I think WP Steam Engines (which have been nicknamed "Canadians") should be used in Howrah-Madras since among the first slot of those locos, alongwith Frontier Mail, Taj Express, and Grand Trunk Exp, these engines were used in Howrah-Madras Mail also), and at least one (would be better if more) express trains are hauled by WG or WL class steam locomotives.
A BHASKAR b.
Just imagine how it would go with a ton of decent welsh steam coal in the boiler
Or Pennsylvania Anthracite !
I'll never understand why Brit steam have no headlight, no pilot (cowcatcher). Or, do they not run at night, winter, or in storms ?
They do run in the winter,they run steam specials at Xmas
Blimey, splendid video; but for the life of me I do not understand why there are no 2 or 3 headlights on english steam locos?
How do they see at night ?
They don't need powerful headlights. The lamps are used to classify trains. So in short, they don't see at night.
The single powerful headlamp is so the train can be seen by anyone working on the lineside. I have been on the footplate of A4 60009 Union of South Africa many times at night doing 75mph and as long as you can see the signals that is all that matters. Lets face it, if something is on the tracks you are not going to steer round it.
BTW: Where do I find me one of these Women who like to go with their Man to watch a steam train go by (?)
Praise picnicking, on the British country side ... 📻 Pop Tones !
Is that IKB in the crowd?
We are missing those days 🙄🙄🙄
Is the speed 115?
Perfect 👌
Super nice, cheers!
Magnificent
O barulho de suspense é aterrorizante
VERY GOOD!!!
Awesome video! 115 - is that miles per hour?
More like 15 mph !
I might have been on that one.
