While back home over Christmas I could hear the steam trains running on the Great Central Railway. On boxing day I looked at the train times and saw that there were two locomotives passing by soon, so I grabbed my camera gear and headed to a spot that I that thought would be good to get aerial footage.
Set the heli up and waited for the first train. Here’s a little Instagram video I edited from the collected footage. I was actually pretty nervous getting this.. having a steam train pass me while trying to concentrate on flying the heli was tough. I didn’t have my fpv screen connected so all the shots where captured from line of sight. I was really pleased when I reviewed the footage to see that it came out okay.
I waited around a bit then captured the above shot of the Oliver Cromwell locomotive. Really happy with how this came out, the evening light was perfect.
