LNER Class A4 4498 (60007) Sir Nigel Gresley Steam Locomotive Video Compilation

This latest addition to the LocomotivesUK Youtube Channel features all the footage I managed to piece together of LNER A4 60007 (4498) Sir Nigel Gresley over a period of years from 2002 until 2015. 

There was one clip missing, likely lost in the Seagate hard drive failure, but it wasn't all that brilliant to begin with. One evening in April/May 2008 I caught a glimpse of it doing a trial run to Whitby and back prior to the runs featured in this video which did survive. 

 The opening 3 still images were taken at Pickering Station on 14th April 2015, a couple of months before that Seagate Hard Drive problem I keep mentioning. 

Thankfully I was able to recover them from my personal Facebook albums.

DriveTribe Visits the Talyllyn Railway

Interesting little something I found on YouTube that may of interest to rail enthusiasts that aren't necessarily big YouTube enthusiasts or "car guys". 

Mike from the "DriveTribe" car channel operated by Clarkson, Hammond and May formerly of Top Gear fame (and now hosts of The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime) presenting a video from the Talyllyn Steam Railway, and uploaded to the "What Next?" channel on YouTube (that previously used to be the "FoodTribe" offshoot of DriveTribe).

76079 Video from 2016

 

On 1st November 2016 I got the site's official YouTube channel properly underway with the above video of Steam locomotive 76079 running back from Whitby. 

I extracted it from a much larger video I shot for my personal YouTube channel, walking along the "Permitted Footpath" along the Esk Valley Line between Ruswarp and Whitby.

I mostly shot that video to kill some time while my broadband connection was acting up and playing silly sods.
