57310 @ Cradley Heath - 24th December 2024
Merry Christmas Everyone !!
Not the greatest of videos.
As ever, everything was running as it should and I thought I had time to amble down to Cradley to meet up with Mr Sharpe and see 57310 on the 0F57 Worcester T.C. to Leicester L.I.P...needless to say it wasn't held in Kidderminster as long as it should and ended up being 40 minutes early !
So a very quick shot from Cradley Rd of it passing overhead - not a shot I've done before (or likely to do again to be honest)....but there's no way I would have made it to the station in time, and I'm afraid the heavy breathing sound effect is me - I know running and everything to see a Class 57...
Plus a Class 172, surely the epitome of The Grinch & all Scrooge's Christmas Ghosts at once...

Barnt Green - Friday 6th December 2024

I was determined to see film a 'proper' RHTT this autumn and not just the MPVs we get down the 'Dark Side'... So I braved the rush hour traffic (not had to drive in that in over two and a half years following retirement..) and went across to Barnt Green to see 67023 'Stella' & 67027 on the 3S31 Swindon transfer to Cheltenham Lansdown loop via Worcester/Hereford/Oxford/Worcester/Barnt Green etc,...

It's that time of the year again... Vintage Trains are running their 'Polar Express' services over weekends up to Christmas from Birmingham Moor St to Dorridge and back. I had a couple of hours out to see GWR Castle Class No 7029 'Clun Castle' t&t with 47773/D1755. Firstly at Small Heath on the e.c.s run from Tyseley Steam Trust to Moor St for the first working of the day, and then out and back...

A few hours out at Leamington Spa on Thursday 24th October 2024. A fair amount of freight in the few hours I was there - plus the Chiltern Class 68s as well. I stopped off at Dorridge on the way back and saw a 59 plus a couple more 66s...I've already posted that video... ua-cam.com/video/4-HDprJAWjM/v-deo.html #class59 #class66 #class68 #freighttrains

To be honest, the 'not so' exciting stuff... We have a few Class 805 Hitachi 'bi-mode' units, a Class 730 on test and a collection of 350 units & Voyagers... As mentioned in a previous video, I stopped off at Wolverhampton to see a passing freight, so we have some 196, 158 & 350 units from there too.. Thanks for watching.. #class805 #class730 #class350 #class196 #class158 #britishrailways

Freight trains @ Dorridge - Thursday 24th October 2024
Переглядів 352 місяці тому
I had spent a few hours at Leamington Spa and having had some 'issues' with West Midlands Trains over the last couple of days down 'The Dark Side' ("Never !!" I hear you cry...), I decided to get back into the West Mids whilst the going was good (although they had already cancelled the local service I was planning to catch back to Cradley, and the one I did catch was late..) Anyway - well worth...

A very good watch that was Andrew, getting three freight can't be bad in my book, cheers Mike.
Thanks Mike...apart from the MVP which is all we get down through Cradley, this was the only RHTT I managed to get this year....at least with it being very late and running any further than Barnt Green, I got to see it twice...
Quality footage Andrew.
Thanks Mike.....you get so used to everything running late that when something runs early, it totally throws you....
Thought it was being banked by a steamer Mr. H !!! Wondered where you were today. Makes a change to see a train in a different location.
Indeed Mr S..my own fault really for walking down as it was such a pleasant day and thinking it would run to scheduled time...had I been a bit closer I could have gone the other side of the bridge and looked down on it...but hey ho..
@@andrewhadley2026 its ai artwork
Inhaler.... Mr Hadley!! 😮
Yes Dr Elliott.....oh gosh, yes...
@andrewhadley2026 🤣🤣
Nice captures, great clip! Thumbs Up
Nice catch of the skips on the RHTT Andrew. When do they finish for the season? Wouldn’t mind catching em myself before they finish for the year.
Cheers Liam....looking on RTT, that service doesn't appear to be working this week...maybe I was very lucky and managed to get them (unintentionally) on the last day...?
@ potentially then mate yes! Got Lucky without knowing it then
I met you Andrew at widney manor
Hi Scott...there were lots of people there I regonised , but I'm fairly hopeless with names !!! We'll have to try and have a chat next time !!
@@andrewhadley2026yeah
Nice video Andrew :)
Thank you Simon....
Lovely stuff Mr. H Need to get back down to stafford myself soon, always a good bit of filming to be had! Hope you’re well
Yes, good thank you Young Man...and yes, Stafford always worth a few hours out...
Awesome rail video! Good work! Thumbs Up Greetings from Dublin Andrew
@@ldegmtrainspotter Thank you...
Lovely museum.
Lovely museum.
Lovely museum
The season has started hasn’t it andy
I know Liam...can't believe it's that time of the year already....!
Wish you’d of told me about this one!!! Nice catch Andrew :) 70’s are always rather loud aren’t they. Shame the grid wasn’t leading
@@LiamsLocos soz....I assumed you would still be stinking in bed...
Fantastic shot Andrew. Did you hear the whistling at Cradley Heath?
You could hear her from about Hagley I think !!
I recognise that first shot Andrew ;) Nicely captured mate and opened up just at the right moment! Old hill was one to remember
👍 👍 👍
very nice!!
I came here a day later on the 20th but unfortunately 11456 has had a failure that caused it to not take part in Fridays gala and got substituted by 75069
Yes Scott, seen your video...I was at Highley on the Friday too...
Nice catch this Andrew! I was up the bridgenorth end.
Another featureless metal box!! 🤔
Thanks Mr S - I'll sort out the Gala stuff after today....got to say I missed you (but it was very peaceful and quiet...)
Just watching what I couldn't get to see today!! But I did sneak out to see the power cars at Cradley!!
They looked good in EWS livery.
That's a great sight watching 58023 under it's own power. Can I share some of this footage please?
It’s very rare for 44932 to come and try the Severn valley railway And she’s the third black 5 to come to visit here after 44871 and 45231
Talk about beauty and the beast watched this for the 58 and a 52 stole the show
I’m happy to tell you this That loco 58023 is now joining the autumn diesel bash gala event Now hopefully it doesn’t break down as it did in last year in may where it failed to turn up at the Severn valley railway
Fingers crossed Scott....
@@andrewhadley2026I hope so Andrew
I caught that loco on the same named tour on the 5th of September at stoke works junction
Love the sound of the Hoovers,Westerns ,Claytons to steam Power,And a Class 58 ,Just wondering how many are preserved ❤❤
Thank you for the lovely video more videos please.
Thanks for a great video first time i ever saw a class 58 one was poking it's nose out off the paint shop at Doncaster works i thought at the time what the f,,,,k is that
Thanks Martin...yes, I remember seeing them being built too...and on test out of Toton & Tinsley....makes me feel very old now !!!
Why did they get rid of the 58s
Hi, very good video, nice to see a 58 still alive and kicking, I have a model of 58002-DOW MILL COLLIERY on my layout, a pity it's not the sound version... I was at the Kidderminster Diesel Gala the year before last, great weekend before I was given some disturbing news...hey-ho...
Good to see 58023 out and about and operating under its own diesel. Also good to see the Stanier Mogul there amongst the other locos, with all locos and stock nicely presented as is usual on the SVR. Nicely shot.
Excellent video my friends 😊awesome 😮 Greeting 😁 👋🏻 from Argentina 🇦🇷 suscribete
Thank you....
Nice video Andrew :)
Thanks!
Is 58023 now residential on the SVR?
I worked worked on them as a driver, a good locomotive apart frome a tendency to suffer from wheel slip
58.BRs new loco 'with huge export potential'. Total build 50 . No foreign sales. Soon rejected by EWS. Outlived by their predecessor 56s. Hardly the most successful loco of all time. BUT nice to see the class live on in preservation, too many classes, steam and diesel, with NO surviving representatives.
They weren't that terrible but they didn't set the world on fire either. I think they were much worse for wheelslip than the 56s under heavy load. I remember them well in the mid 80s as regular passenger performers along with the 56s on the Sunday birmingham to nuneaton drags of the euston trains, think I had 20 to 30 of them and 60.odd 56s too over the several years it was a regular event.
Good video mate ,great to see a Western out and about
Thanks 👍
Last time i laid eyes on that loco was when I was working on 58's out in France 2008/09
Strange Teddy Bear noises!
wonderful collection of diesels, very well turned out
Well, well. A 58 up & running, class and all! Excellent catch.
I know....was a bit of a surprise...
Test runs then loaded runs before there diesel gala I'm guessing
Yes, that's my understanding too...
Lovely watch this is Andrew! Great seeing you today :)
Thanks! You too!
What is it doing there the 58
The consensus seems to be general running in remedial work, plus it's the Autumn Diesel gala the begining of October, so whether it works at all then is to be seen...
these bones remind me of a pair of class 20s side on! Nice video of claggy hoovers a bone and some puff puffs 🥰
I looked out the window, could see it was issing it down, and stayed at home!! Just couldn't be bovvered. Well done you.
Thanks Mr S
