Excellent stuff!. I particularly like the hand-held camera feel to these videos. It makes the trains look more realistic, and the videos are very much like those early colour films of British Railways in the late '50's. You must have put a lot of work into the second episode, particularly when Mallard's tender is being rescued by the bulldozer. All that is missing now is the narration.

Just a few issues: British freight trains aren't as long as American ones, even today. A British steam locomotive would never be able to pull a train as long as the one you tacked onto Flying Scotsman on its own. (I liked the brakevan though, and 'Johnny Last Wagon' in the back!). It would also be better if Mallard's carriages were from the same era, and not 1980's BR.

Well done. Looking forward to the next videos. And if you can't do the voiceover, then just put subtitles on so we can follow the story.

Best wishes,
Padster

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the episodes and I am looking forward to the third instalment. In a way it reminds me of the stories of Thomas the locomotive, but different. That silly Mallard better listen next time :hehe:
 
I loved the episodes and you had remained me of how much I loved that route Thanks for that. It made my day.:D Can't wait for the third one.
