    I know it's not necessarily the right area but I feel this could be overdubbed with the theme of Last of the Summer Wine or Dvorjak's largo movement from Symphony no9. This just feels so beautifully bucolic and reminiscent of a simpler time.

    The New York Central,had trains carrying coaches and sleepers[Pullmans],to various points on the system! One train,could have coaches and sleepers for Toronto,Pittsburgh,and Chicago,split at Buffalo! There were also through coaches and sleepers to Los Angeles,San Francisco,and points,on the Santa Fe,or Union Pacific,as an example!The US railroads had many cross country connections,and that example cited above,was on of many! Pullman had about 10,000 pieces of rolling stock,so the railroads had a hefty reserve for traffic surges! A bit of parallel US history! Thank you 😇 😊!

    INCOMPATABLE COACH COUPLING & GANGWAY TYPES !!! At 0:17 is a coupling issue ! The SR, LNER, Pullman Company & BR used, Pullman designed semi-rigid corridor connections, and by default had to use the semi-automatic rigid Buckeye coupling, and retractable buffers. The GWR & the LMS, refused to adopt these more modern methods. So they continued to use the British Standard Suspension gangway (BSS), the traditional chain type coach coupling called a "Screw Link", and normal sprung buffers. This of course means that in normal operating circumstances, you cannot couple GWR/LMS type coaches to SR/LNER/BR/Pullman coaches. This disability could only be catered for by affixing special "Adaptor plates" to the BSS Gangway. But it could take four men, half an hour to affix such an adaptor, IF one was available ! Hence to cater for "inter-regional" services, coaches used on such trains, would be allocated on a semi-permanent basis, having been pre-fitted with the necessary adaptors. Which allowed the BSS gangway to physically "attach" to the Pullman type. NOTE: Pullman gangways do not attach to each other, they only rub each other, hence their wide rubbing plate edges. Further they have hidden "hydraulic buffing gear" in the floor section of the Pullman gangway, known as the "rubbing bar". Meaning their regular buffers MUST be in the retracted position, when the Buckeye coupling is used, to avoid derailments in sharp curves and pointwork. To couple to a loco or a GWR/LMS Screwlink coupling, the Buckeye had to be lowered. This heavy coupling was mounted on a hidden hinge. The "pin" had to be pulled out, to allow it to be lowered to reveal a standard coupling hook. Raising it later, was a little harder as it weighed at least 1.5cwt !!!

    When I started helping at Pendon in the mid 60's Roy's view was still very much in the 30's and I don't think he was keen on putting diesels on the layout. However, at that time, as a young fireman/second man diesels were very much the scene on the mainline and new diesels appearing regularly while the steam locomotives now appearing very old and run-down. However, I don't think Roy would have been upset at showing the Vale with the Western Region's progress into diesels today. From this video it was really nice seeing how these hydraulic classes looked running in the Vale. It was very tactfully done and the only disappointment was not having the D600's and the Westerrn Hydraulics on show. I stayed with Pendon until 1974 when I moved as driver to Marylebone Depot. The daily travelling too and from London as well as a lot of Sunday working made it impossible for me to continue at Pendon. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Pendon and it is always a bit sad for me to return every now and again and find most of the old lads have now passed on.

    Short but sweet. Thank you Pendon. My first visit was in summer '73. Still in the old nissan hut. I had the pleasure of meeting Roy England a number of times. I joined many others in donating to the fund for the new building. I've visited a number of times since, but been quite a while since last. Much enjoy the videos you have created and watch them often just for the joy of it. Roy would be proud of you all. 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧

    Great museum, incredible models - but as for all this modern stuff....Naah. Give us a break, it's anathema at Pendon. Ridiculous.

      Many thanks for your comments, we are very pleased you like to see Pendon as was but these special days mean so much to many visitors and help them understand the transition from the Pendon period to today. Our next video should please you though 😉.

    The trains of the 30's were so much more 'romantic' and had a lot of 'personality'. Thanks for sharing !

    Love this train! Coincidentally, I have a model of Princess Alice that pulls a very similar train, also to Birkenhead. Mine uses clerestory and 6-wheel carriages though
