Hello & Welcome to this special tribute video.
This is a tribute program in memory of 1 of West Coast Railway's finest drivers of the past Albert Seymour known as Uncle Albert to his friends & colleagues who sadly passed away on the early May Bank Holiday Monday.
He was a kind hearted & charming gentleman which I had the privilege of talking to him on a number of occasions when ever I see him at the regulator of some of the finest mainline steam locomotives.
He will be sadly missed my thoughts & condolences goes out to his beloved family & friends at this very difficult time.
R.I.P Albert Seymour may The West Coast Steam Special take you to heaven & join many of the great railway pioneers who did so much for the steam movement.
I decided to put together a special collection of video clips of the steam locomotives owned by West Coast Railways & locos that are associated with the Train Operator showing them at speed during their finest hours when running on the national network. Something Uncle Albert would be proud of.
These video clips shows as early as 2013 right up to the 1st 4 months of 2018.
