The Mid Hants Railway (Watercress Line) 2018 -Autumn Steam Gala- was memorable for all the right reasons, a superb line up of engines and near perfect weather. On a number of occasions I-ve watched demonstration freight trains at Gala events and wondered what it would be like to ride with the guard, when I read that brake van rides would be available for a small donation towards the upkeep of the Queen Mary brake van, it was an opportunity too good to miss. I joined the small group of people on the platform at Alresford hoping to get a place in the brake van, it was my lucky day, I mounted a GoPro camera on one of the lamp brackets to record the trip with British Rail (BR) Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 No. 92212 at the head we set off for a non-stop trip over the Alps

Normally, if you affix a camera to any moving platform(like part of a railway carriage, you'll get that quivering image(-jelly- effect) but your images were very stable! Nice shooting! I've got to set to and get the shoes made up for my tripod. I've already made one for my monopod which works a treat(a cardboard box stuffed with foam rubber, a hole cut in the top with a soft-drink bottle cap placed just under the hole for the foot of the monopod to rest, plastic gaffer-tape wrapped around the box to seal it against the weather completes it and I've used it to great effect on recent visits to the Paterson Rail Motor Society and the Sydney Tramway Museum. Cheers, Tim!

Hello Tim! This trip is very good on the sunny day in beautiful countryside in early autumn! I see that you do not have a -golden autumn-, as happens in more northern lands than ours. For example, in Sofia, golden autumn happens and this time is coming. And we have about the same as you, a lot of green leaves on the trees, only some of which have withered and immediately fell off. I am glad that bright sun still shines above us, hehehe. Good luck and take care of yourself! Chuck

-26: 20 They tell you to keep your hands and arms in at all times, yet the train driver is sticking his head out of the cab like a dog going down the road in a car.

Absolutely stunning footage Tim! The rolling Hampshire countryside was beautiful. I really enjoyed this and it was great to see the old 9F again.
