I was miserable on steam's last day on the BR network. But little did we know of how good it would still be more than fifty years later!!!

You know how to bring tears to us old steam fireman and drivers, but there really was some brilliant sights. Kind Regards.

“Jesus them pair steaming out of the mist at the beginning is truly amazing. I just wish my dad could have experienced YouTube to see what we see. He passed away in 2007 at the age of 71. He was a fireman out of Canton sheds Cardiff on Castles. Even after the age of steam he became a steel erector, but his true love until the day he died was give him an engine number and he would tell you what it was

10:50 So let me get this straight...

S160, N7, Maroon BSK, Pullman Mk1, a 3-car DMU, and the GWR Railmotor, all in a single train? I've seen some nutty consists in my time but this is something else entirely. I love it.

A fabulous compilation, thanks Liam and Phil, and what a difficult challenge to name a favourite! Started off making copious notes but gave up with far too many contenders. In the end narrowed it down to two: GCR at 41:55 with the pairing in your opening still (I suspect they're high on your list too!) with the perfect location, pairing and overall visual aesthetic, then the two S160s at the front with the tank at the back (hard to say why but it just has the x-factor). Kind regards, Bob.

11:35 It feels weird seeing an American steam engine used and modified for UK railways Lol. I love it, good work getting all of the footage!🔥

Absolutely fantastic combinations, I used to do trainspotting back in the 50s & 60s and seen some real good `double headers` but in many ways the views are much better today because you see combinations you would never have seen back in my day for instance you would never have seen a `mickey` and a standard tank in a combination and if you did it was probably because of mechanical trouble and don't forget also the engines today are maintained to a high standard whereas back in the 60s they were mostly in a poor condition and consequently could never fulfill their potential, one of the strangest combos was the pannier tank and a castle, that was a sight to behold, without doubt the BEST video I've seen by far.

The footage is impeccable! Great job. I could watch for hours!

Hard to tell after seeing some magnificent combinations of steam locos double heading together from 2 tank engines to 2 heavy express passenger engines bringing memories of combos that were seen in steam days & combos that were never seen before. I have to say hands down the best double header i've seen was at the end of this video with 6990 Whitherslack Hall & 6023 King Edward II on the 1 in 49 grade on the approach to Goathland last year. Great Vid. Richard

Great shots of beautifully double headed steam locomotives, set in wonderful surroundings. Yes in 1968 we thought steam was dead, how wrong we were!

My Favourite combination, “6990 Witherslack Hall & 6023 King Edward II”. Not only do these proud beasts look good together, providing a combination of power and poise, they are a bridge between Collett and Hawksworth at GWR. Their original development and ‘In Service’ history, then to be discarded by Beeching/BR, to rot in Barry. Thankfully, impossibly, by their subsequent rescue and committed restoration, our glimpses of steam traction today rests on the combined work and commitment of so many volunteers and enthusiasts. Thank you for your work in recording these magnificent sights.

[kellyashfordtrains]

Now that's what I call Steam Supreme.

[stestewart]

C'mon let's face it every time a double headed tank engine train comes into shot it reminds you of Thomas the tank engine The two on the main line going for it was just magical ♥ 👌

[CrossfellRailwayVideos]

I'll have to come back to that one . . . . .
