Seemed like I was the only one to brave Blea Moor.....now I know why!

Grainy image, waterproofs soaked through, visibility very poor. Still, cracking sound!

A large picture of 61994 crossing Ribblehead viaduct made it on to the front cover of The Guardian today:

Uploaded the wrong version of my video yesterday . This is the version I should have uploaded .

 

THAT was worth it for the sound track alone!

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to go out in those foul conditions.

As an aside does anybody know what the obo car was converted from (if it is an obo car!) it just looks all wrong to me.................................................

 

The 'obo' car as you call it was not converted from anything. It is a 1930 GWR Directors saloon, the other coach next to it is an LMS Club Car of equal vintage.

 

Thank you for the clarification, I did question if it was an obo car, it was the corridor connection that threw me, just looked all wrong!

 

My early morning shot at Oubeck - before the rain battered in :

 

The LMS club car is a mark one TSO that was converted a few years ago. Awful vehicle, IMHO. Kitchen is too small really for what it's used for these days, and because it's a standard class coach fitted with first class seating, the whole thing is too cramped. No way I would be paying a premium to travel in it. Much more comfortable in an FO or mark one Pullman.

 

THAT was worth it for the sound track alone! Thank you for the very kind comment . Steve

 

Got to agree....great footage+sound.....many thanks..

 

Crackin video Steve, she sounded in fine fettle

 

1 late off Lancaster this morning with 61994 doing the honours again.

 

The Marquess on time in sun for once through Gregson Lane.

 

Three clips of the train on the outward journey 19/6 at Hoghton Tower, Gisburn Coates and Ribblehead;

 

I'd like to say that I enjoyed your video, sadly not - there appears to be a problem, I tried watching on YT, but I got only 24 seconds............................................................ I then tried watching it as you've posted it, start off fine with the time bar showing 5:28............................... finished after 33 seconds!

Shame, as I enjoy your videos and was looking forward to the K4 galloping along

Hope you can get it sorted soon...........................................................................

 

No problem for me watching as it played perfect . Superb shots by the way Austin.
