Two days later, the official ‘Western Tribute’ railtour would tak...

Jay's Spitfire Day 10th July 2020 - 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain
Excellent video . Never travelled on the final railtours , my memories cover the period 1969 - 1976 with thousands of miles being hauled by Westerns in 1974/75 . Great days never to be forgotten .
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed the video. They were certainly special times... great memories were made by many of us...
I have that headboard in my loft
What a lovely souvenir of the day David!
Oh my it was half term that last week I was 15 and got severely bellowed at on the way out and back at Reading by most of the train who are now all bald old men like me!
Yes, how quickly time passes! And how great that we can re-live the past in this way... thank you for your comment Vernon
"My Lordz...."
Ah, the days when you could really enjoy a railtour without being cosmetically sealed in and all at a reasonable price. Great days!
Great days indeed! Thanks for joining in the conversation...
Absolutely fantastic
Thank you Mike, much appreciated!
Was on a western tour in 1976 with Westerns Fusiliers and Invader hauling and past Lady between Reading and Swindon. As a Doncaster lad I came to the Westerns in their twilight years and mainly missed out on the most charismatic diesels of the era.
Hi John, that sounds like the 'Westerns South Western' Railtour which I was also on. It went to Meldon Quarry in Devon. I have some cine footage of that day... not brilliant quality but I'll be doing my best to bring it alive, as I've done with this one. Make sure you subscribe and click 'notifications' so you'll be alerted when there's another video uploaded.
A superbly put together record of the day. Brilliant work!
Thank you Syd, glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant video, thanks very much!
You're very welcome John. Glad you enjoyed it!
Was on this tour memories of a better time
How quickly time passes... glad it brought back the memories for you
I travelled on most trips organised by John Vaughan. What a bloke!
Me too! Yes, much appreciation for John's contrubution...
Wonderful, thanks for posting
You're very welcome Trevor, glad you enjoyed it. It makes all the hours at the computer worthwhile!
I wasn't there at the time, this is marvellous to see. An excellent video, thanks very much for sharing.
Thank you David, I'm so pleased you enjoyed watching. It was a sad day and I'm so pleased to have been there to take the photos and cine film.
Marvellous, simply marvellous!
So pleased you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for posting this wonderful record of the day. How great it is to know that "Lady" is still with us, and now in the care of the Western Locomotive Association. We may all be a little older now, but the memories still remain.... Magic!
That's kind of you Ian. I do have some more old cine footage of the Diesel-Hydraulic era so you've inspired me to see what else I can 'put out there' for the enjoyment of others...
