I presume these were all taken with the permission of the railways and in line with the legal guidelines over drone use?
If not I suggest you remove them as soon as possible.

Drones and the railway
It is illegal to fly a drone on or near the railway.

If a train collided with a drone, it could cause a serious accident.

A drone could fly into and damage vital equipment – such as overhead wires or pylons – costing thousands to repair and causing hours of train delays. And a drone falling from the sky – malfunctioning or out of power – could hit a member of public or our staff, and cause serious injury or death.

Criminal offence
  • You must not fly a drone anywhere near the railway – it could result in a serious accident.
  • It is a criminal offence to fly a drone on, over or within 50 metres of the railway or within 150 metres in built up areas.
  • It is a criminal offence to fly a drone on, over or within 50 metres a railway station or within 150 metres in built up areas.
  • You could be taken to court and face a penalty of up to £2,500.

No so much that but I would have rather the sound effects of the steam engine rather than the current soundtrack... sorry

Was my only disappointment as well. I don't know the ins and outs of drones but I assume sound can be recorded as well?

Visually the video is superb and I enjoyed watching it still but would have been perfect with the sound of the loco in particular
