steam train at speed # 128

Blink and you'll miss it...34067 Tangmere rattles though Mottisfont and Dunbridge, between Salisbury and Romsey, with a homeward bound Cathedrals Express, just as the late afternoon light is beginning to fade.

That was awesome. Wish the American rail companies would get their crap together. Sick of the idling steam & worn out diesel switchers that make up U.S. tourist lines. Time to oust the steam hating company heads, throw out the oil burners and diesel "backups" and run mainline high speed coal fired steam again!

One word, stunning. The angle that the shot was taken was superb, and although the video was a mere minute long, this will be one to remember for an awfully long time. Well done Will.

Great video!! I know the right angled shot is deceiving but Tangmere was obviously giving it some as she passed in front of you. Many thanks for posting along with the other 100 plus you have put on for our enjoyment - keep them coming. Regards Dave.

@HughFromAlice thanks Hugh, great to have those words of encouragement...best wishes, Will

Wonderful - and it looks faster than 75mph from that viewpoint but it won't be. 85mph max line speed and preserved engines restricted to 75mph if the driving wheels are over 6ft in diameter.

@bkendlerA4 Thanks Barry - I hope you have good weather on Saturday - there are a few competing attractions down this way (and social obligations!) but I might get to see it again.

[HughFromAlice]

Sometimes the simplest shots are the most masterful. A shot which really enhanced the sense (perception) of speed. Love your work. Great you keep posting all the time. It's a big TU :-) from me on this one!!!

How come the crossing gates are quiet when in operation?

[bkendlerA]

That was very good, Will. The distinctive Bulleid whistle in the distance and then Tangmere crashes in on the scene. Very dramatic. A like from me. Barry

FANTASTIC STEAM SPEED. WICH COUNTRY ???

[arkansastrash]

I feel sorry for the car or truck that fails to yield right of way to that train infact the feel for the train at that speed it would surely fly off the tracks and it would be horrible !!!

[vteccanary]

Is that a Rover 213 in the background ?

[AndyCreepy]

Fantastic video, one of the best videos of Tangmere on YouTube! A like from me, keep up the great work :) Andy

[JustSayin]

Nice, a very engaging perspective. But do invest in a softy for that microphone !

[seththekiller]

If u pause it u can see it's a British engine
