Why did we ever stop making trains in the UK

THOMAS 🚂

wow 😲 ❤❤❤❤❤

That ain’t Thomas that dice

Fun fact: I was there

699th like :/

Thanks for this vid. Showing life on one of my favourite heritage lines. Not seen anything this old about BONESS. the difference in those days is certainly noticeable. Earliest i have seen has been the early 2000’s. What happened to those old steamers of those days. Did the track actually go around in a circle then ? Thanks for posting. Bob.

Larbert Station - reminded me that my great grandfather worked and lived there in the 1870s .

Brilliant video. Wish i was up Scotland up in those days bashing loco hauleds

Why are they leaning so much ? Im not a rail expert, just curious if anyone knows why the lines on those bends are seemingly not level. Thanks.

Talk about lean on the bends lol

Excellent

I really enjoyed that

37049 middle and looks like 37051 on the rear

Fun fact: that’s the engine awdry himself named Thomas probably because it looks like him

Fantastic thrash

Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

Like to see more of the scot train on videos ,lovely train and travel on it expensive a ticket to travel johnrey model railway

Action.

cracking video, was there to and never expected to be as busy as it was, or that might be down to the lack of carriages

Definitely the Best Era ever for Railways!

I saw a 37 on the far north line 2 days ago! Its was purring with a faint whistle sound in the station before it grew louder like a dragon breathing and then it growled away 😁 Weird to think that in this video they were a 30 year old design and i saw one 34 years after this video was filmed! Still in use in their 7th decade 🥹

WHERE HIS FACE!?

Where it's from

No, no, no...imagine your kid innocently playing then this comes off guard.... High risk

No way

Brilliant!! I spent loads of time up here around this time, 37156 there one of the best 37's at the time, made an absolute racket!!! do you have anymore from around this period?

I never understood why locos in the UK didn't have headlights for night running. In Ireland all diesel locos had two powerful beams that would light up the line for a mile ahead.

..... the amount of times I travelled through there to and from home and my posting north of Aberdeen in the 1980s..... many many many times.

Hi Guys, There seems to be some knowledgeable local lads on here from back in the day. When you have a minute watch the clip on this link below, also of Carstairs in 1990. A query if someone can answer please. 90040 comes in on load 15 with all MK3 sleepers and some day coaches on the end, a shunt occurs 04:08 and 7:17 and 90030 takes day coach portion separately. Any idea what the purpose of the detachment was as it was just the seated coaches? No motorails in consist so unsure what train it was. Looks too late for the IS that went mossend and too long for S07 which had 37 from Central by then i believe. Cheers ua-cam.com/video/pmExvHIYKIs/v-deo.htmlsi=SSR5D5UguBYEQJhJ

Loving these vids, that 359 is a monster. Did a few bits in 89 up there.

If you think thats slow try the 5mph TSRs on the west somerset

257 Squadron was built at Brighton Works and completed in 1948 as one of the first of the batch produced under BR ownership. The locomotive was allocated to Dover Marine shed, principally to work the Continental Boat Trains to London. One of its main duties appears to have been the Night Ferry. It also worked on local services between the Kent Coast and Charing Cross and on one occasion it worked over the Tonbridge to Redhill line, believed to have been a first for a Bulleid light Pacific.

Worked at Ravenscraig Steelworks for over 20 years and regularly sat with the driver in the pilot loco on the triple headers. Unfortunately the Health & Safety police have fenced off this spot & spoiled the best viewing area in Scotland.

Turn them into real life E2 class

Именно так паровозик Томас выглядел бы в ряльной жизни 😅😊

THOMAS WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!? WHO DID THIS CRUEL THING TO YOU

Beautiful modelling, and great atmosphere. I like the 'anything goes' running style too. The 50 must be fresh from works, it's so clean. 👍👍👍👍

Absolutely brilliant to see all those growlers &duffs

Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

THOMAS WHAT HAPPEND?

Flux fuls

What happened to all the secondmen?

Thomas

Reminds me of when I met a friend at Euston one night, having decided to bash Class 47s in Sconnie Botland (I always gave myself 2 weeks off out of 20 weeks, every summer, from bashing the Yarmouth Saturday Only trains). When he told me that a pair Class 26s were working the 13.21 Edinburgh to Inverness via Ladybank. The gen said it was either 26 001 and 26 002 or 26 001 and 26 003. I needed all three locos, so I was a happy camper. But sadly, he needed just 26 003, and 26 001 and 26 002 produced, so he stayed put. The pair duly backed on at Waverley, but 26 002 blew up at Kirkcaldy, so 26 001 limped on, on her own. At Perth, the pair was replaced by 37 153. I alighted. The lads said surely, you need 37 153, she is a rare beastie. I replied I did not. I had already had 80+ Tractors, that was at least 80+ too many. I have even cabridden 37 405 from Edinburgh to Fort William on official duty, and 37 423 from Staines to London Bridge also on official duty. All in all, I have had 16 locos catch fire, and one loco that exploded (she put her carden shaft through the engine, as it had become detached from the generator). I have been on three trains that have derailed. I have been on 8 passenger trains with either no automatic train brake (it was an unfitted passenger train, in contravention of the Regulation of Railways Act 1889) or she had insufficient brake force (the brakes applied, but failed to retard the train due to a combination of train weight, downhill gradient and excessive speed, we were doing 60 mph in a 40 mph zone, the gradient was 1 in 40 for 42 miles and the train was Load 17. I alerted the signalman, after the train speed rose to 85 mph, despite four brake applications. The signalman rang out 7-5-5 Train Running Away in the Right Direction, and we passed 17 signals at danger, Blair Atholl to Perth). We also came down the summit at Moose Pass too quickly once on the Alaska Railroad. I have witnessed 2 bufferstop collisions (Liverpool Street and Great Yarmouth) and been on a further two trains that hit the stops (Romford and Kidderminster). And my middle name is Lucky. LOL ! Remember folks, railways are still the safest form of land transport. It is just I used to do over 20, 000 miles per annum. Love the Class 47 in ScotRail livery. Very smart.

Excellent 👍👍👍 great varied collection. Enough to be keeping busy for years to come...

Nice vid, I remember sitting on the front of a Plough like that, one day when we were bunking off school. It was sat in Shrewsbury sidings for a good few years, opposite old hay meadow football ground . Very steep to sit still 😂

Hi have you got the 66 freight liner or just on loan ,your workmanship really nice scot 47 very nice johnrey ortizs model railway phillpines

Night turns on BR pulling freight in the pitch dark following the lights , hoping the main generator wasn't going to flashover if you were near your weight limit. Happy days. 22-45 s in " I'm here Mr. Signalman." 😅 Driver informing signalman of identity of train through the one way signal telephone . No two way coms. in those days. Thanks for uploading , Temple Mills and Whitemoor is where I mostly went on my turns.I used to pick up the same style of oil tanks in the video from Bow but that was on a day turn and they were empty but had contained petroleum so they were still classed as dangerous goods anyway as the vapours were still inside .We had lots of work back in the late 70s and BR couldn't get enough staff even then because of the unsocial hours required expecially working freight traffic .

I like the whistle of that engine and how the engine it looks
