This starts off with the Flying Scotsman on the Great Central taken from the top of the coaling plant at the Rugby Motive Power depot. Taken on 8mm Ilford film it's not that clear. At the time one would have thought that the Great Central line would be there for ever not end up being a cycleway come walking track. What a way to go. Some of the shots aren't that good but they show in the background the things that used to be. Most of it is taken around Rugby just as the electrification was being rolled out but memory fails me with some of the places. The Diesel Electric at Market Harborough has what I think was called a braking tender to assist with the braking of goods trains. It is hard to believe that there were loose coupled goods trains running around with the only brakes being on the engine and the guard's van. I think that towards the end some of the new guards didn't have a clue about what they were there for.
