    The 9F is the greatest of the British steam locos. And the second greatest must be the Black Five. So, a brilliant video!

    What a treat! The happy hours I spent as a child on the bridge at Haltwhistle waiting to be enveloped in steam, smoke, soot and smells!

    Amazing steam engine ❤ The best ever. I can almost smell them. Excellent video and sound. I had to Amplify the sound and the effect was as if I was close to it. Nothing like steam train. I am in 70s and feel like a kid!!!!! Thank you❤❤
  • Grosmont station is the best station I’ve ever been to for trainspotting. Teeks, Pullmans, dinner trains, 9F, Black 5, TWO class 31s, a private train, blood and custard livery coaches, tank engines, class 158s coupled up to class 156s, all at once! it was madness.
  • Great to see it being filmed from platform 3/4 side rather than the more usual platform 1/2 side, gives a better idea of how the train movements work.
  • @kevelliott
    Beautifully filmed! Cold conditions are an obvious gift for steam enthusiasts, and the plumes were bountiful. Your dogs were fine and I'm sure they were cared for - ignore the detractors; they weren't there.

    Went to the NYMR in 2006 for a 3 day steam driver course drove 45212, it was great, one item crossed off my bucket list.

    Oh the memories of something like seventy years ago when a gang of us would buy a one penny platform ticket and spend the day at Cambridge railway station train spotting. I had an advantage as Uncle George was an engine driver and worked from Cambridge so often went up onto the footplate of some very well known engines.
  • @mothmagic1
    That was a good decision to visit. Nicely captured.

    Dog thinks that if you seen one train you have seen them all...let's chase some rabbits now !
  • @MrPete1x
    Excellent, thank you for showing this
  • @RailwayTavern
    best stuff is always when you're not expecting it!
  • @anselman3156
    What a treat! This was a little work of art. On seeing the LMS logo, I couldn't help thinking of Kenneth Williams' father's calling it "L of a MesS"! A quite beautiful scene nicely filmed.

    THE LAST BIT WAS LIKE A DRAGON BREATHING FIRE FROM ITS CAVE

    Greetings from New Zealand. Great to see the steam, thanks for sharing.
  • @user-yp5do3oh1c
    I was there that day and would have loved to been behind the 9r or black five but had to deal with the riddles class four tank. It was great to see "Sir Nigel Gresley" and the P3 in steam too.
  • @missharry5727
    Beautiful machine. Noisy, dirty smelly, polluting (though much of what's emitted is of cpurse water vapour and Id rather have honest coal than diesel any day), but magical. I'm glad I'm old enough to remember steam.

    My dog woke up on hearing sweet sounds of happy dogs. I will watch the video later when out of dog range.
