    This railway was built in the days before 'health and safety' and suchlike rules and regulations. This means that it is fun! It is highly recommended and will drop you off at the Laxey Wheel which provides the power for a huge Victorian mining system. It is simple and big engineering at it's best. It is also highly recommended.

      Thanks for commenting. Yes, WBQ used to be a great location for variety, less so now though of course since the demise of loco hauled passenger services. If you haven’t watched it already, you might find this video from 1989 interesting. We arrived at WBQ at about 11am and stayed until 6-ish. I tried to film every loco hauled movement that afternoon, which produced a video of over 1 hour - enjoy 😉 ua-cam.com/video/BG4b_n109sU/v-deo.html Geoff@OldOakTrains.

    This brings back happy memories, though originally I wasn't too keen on this class. When they replaced the Warship diesel-hydraulics on the Waterloo-Exeter route things really slowed down as they were a lot less powerful. But I grew to love em in the end and now really miss them!

    • @OldOakTrains
      @OldOakTrains 26 днів тому

      Being a South London /Surrey lad at the time, the Class 33s were very much part of the scene for me. I don’t remember them replacing the Warships, but do remember the disappointment when they filled in for a 50 on the W’loo-Ex. But, like you, time has mellowed my view and I quite like them now. 👍😊 Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Happy days indeed; I traveled for many thousands of miles behind these beautiful locomotives and was hauled by every single one of the class❗️ MY machine was 50047 Swiftsure, she climbed the ‘Lickey Incline’ from a Red signal at Bromsgrove and topped the Lickey at speed, with a load of 11 coaches, unassisted!! Most notable achievement on a rail tour behind unrefurbished 50011 Centurion on the ‘Citadel Express’. Plymouth to Carlisle and back, using the same locomotive! Over 1100 miles without a locomotive change!! Thank you for for bringing back those glorious days 👍🏻😊🇬🇧

      Hi Chris. Thanks very much for your feedback and anecdotes 😃👍. Sadly I was far short of haulage by every class member, although I did manage to photograph all of them. But by the time I got the camcorder, a few had already gone 😩.

    Brilliant video mate, always good to see two steam-hauled tours on the same day. Shame about that TPE bowling you on that shot of Braunton! I was at Preston this day, saw Braunton but unfortunately missed the Tesco and the Northern Belle because they went through at the opposite end of the station to Braunton so I wasn't able to get much of a shot of them

    • @OldOakTrains
      @OldOakTrains Місяць тому

      Hi Victor, thanks for watching. If you mean, can the driver walk through the engine compartment from the cab at one end to the cab at the other end? Then, yes, on practically all the diesel and electric locomotives this is possible (pretty sure it’s not possible on Classes 58 or 70 though). Not sure about Class 66s tbh?

    I wonder how many locomotives, DMU's, EMU's and other rolling stock have been prematurely destroyed since the privatisation of the railways in Britain. Must be a huge loss of investment. Also the manufacturing capacity was lost, thousands of jobs lost and the railways no saddled up an awful lot of different rolling stock.

    I saw Collingwood one day as a young kid in Doncaster (Moat Hills crossing), around 83/84. It was the first 50 I'd ever seen and had BR large logo blue livery then. I think it had been in the Doncaster BREL works for refurbishment as 50s seemed to be rare up north, although you occasionally saw them parked up around Doncaster station awaiting maintenance. The next 50 I saw in Doncaster was 50008 Thunderer in October 2022.

      I suppose growing up in South London/ Surrey gave me an advantage of seeing locos from most regions at their London termini. But did go to Doncaster works in 1980 on a rail tour visit and saw quite a few 50s being refurbished. Locos were always nicely turned out by the works. Thanks for sharing your memories of 50 005, always good to hear anecdotes from that golden era! cheers Geoff. 👍😊

    Absolutely fantastic. 47/4's have always been my favourite locos and to see them on the kind of workings I covered as a youth...😊

      Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Watch out for part 2 (47 500 onwards) and part 3 (47 602 onwards) to come over the next 2 weeks. 😊

    Date of the 47430 clip has rather poignant memories

      Lockerbie? Remember it being a terrible shock at the time. Do you mind me asking if you were affected personally ?

    Carlisle hardly looks any different, except the roof's cleaner, and there's a lot more weeds 😊

      Too true. I had been there the week I put this compilation together, and was thinking back to August 1988, remembering how young I’d been 😊😊😊.
