Buxton Spa 5/11

Tour reported passing Peak Forest signal box 19 early at 14:15. Thanks to '37685' for the gen.

Nice video sequence, Phil. <BJ>

 

Really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing it.

The sensitivity of those video mics never ceases to amaze me.

 

Really liking the shot at Combs Reservoir!

Excellent photo. Nice location.

I liked it very much it was fantastic. Thanks for filming it.

 

.....

 

I agree, very impressive.

I was planning to use that location but when I arrived in the area it was very overcast and misty so I went elsewhere:doh:

For some reason when I try to open/enlarge the photo, it tries to make me sign into a Yahoo account.

 

My not too brilliant efforts today.

The first clip is near Dove Holes although it is spoilt by somebody shouting halfway through.

The second is at a very crowded Peak Dale.

Very nice - I like the lines - all those curves from the train, rails, canal towpath and the canal itself make it interesting to look at.

 

Last two shots of this vid capture the pair passing Wakey K.

Stephen's vid is great. A lot better than those people who follow each other and stand in a gallery of 50! The ones who stand alone and get "the exclusive" always win.

Just proves how some people have about as much geographical knowlege/paitence as a blind pig,no doubt there were people crawling on each others backs at Peak Forest all for the same shot. What is the point!? Desperation/obsessiveness maybe even idiocy.

Cheers,
Mark

My video from today including scenes at Miles Platting, Combs and Peak Forest;

Well I think Steve's Lancaster video is excellent - The angle really shows the locos working.

This was my effort at Ladybridge:

Went out to see some steam today and while out shot some video. Can't pretend it's better than anyone else's but for what it's worth it's at:

Although it may sound similar to two locations in Phil Smith's video the shots are from completely different spots. Sound was fabulous and I could have added many more minutes of sound only before and after the locos had passed.

Finally home after a very long day. 5 am start to get to Lancaster in time on the train. Enjoyable, though coach c, half the train was heated, part I was in wasn't. I appreciate it's not RTC fault, but spending £109 to sit in my coat all day is a bit off. Other than that, good day ran pretty much too time. Covered some rare track through Wigan to Bolton.

I can see all sides of the argument, though from my personal point of view I am grateful to all who post, as it gives me the opportunity to see today's tour from the perspective of linesiders, be it good or average.

Thanks to RTC, WCRC, Rileys engines and crew and also to all the volunteers on today's train.

 

Excellent quality video and a really wonderful smoke ring as a bonus!
