Hello all, sorry if this is the wrong section, I don't know where to post videos?

I just made my first long video for YouTube (37 minutes) featuring steam in action on the mainline and on preserved railways in the modern era. 99% of it is in the west/on FGW (First Great Western)'s network.

Details:

This video features a small variety of preserved locos at work on the mainline and on preservation lines. These are all my person shots, so are mainly taken around the Wiltshire and Avon areas but there is a few shots out of these two regions.

In this video you can find:

- Many shots of Nunney Castle and other classic GWR (Great Western Railway) locos.
- Shots from the GWR 175th Anniversary at the Didcot Railway Centre
- A double header with a Manor and a Mogul
- Nunney Castle hammering up Washford Bank (and nearly failing to!)
- Broad Gauge 'Fire Fly' in action at the Didcot Railway Centre
- A Black 5 on the West Somerset Railway
- Tornado in London and Trowbridge
- Clan Line on the Bristol to Victoria VSOE (Venice Simplon Orient Express)
- A 5MT hammering up Dilton Marsh bank

I hope you enjoy this video, and I am still collecting shots for a second video, hopefully expanding the locations!
