- I've uploaded NSE EMU compilation vids, so now we have a diesel unit one! We see DMU & DEMU's at work on this upload. Classes seen are 101, 104, 108, 115, 117, 121, 205 & 207 at Woodgrange Park, Bedford, Salisbury, Marylebone, Basingstoke, Theale, Reading, Acton Main Line, West Ruislip, Oxford, Cambridge, Eastleigh and Colchester. Hopefully it won't be too long before a direct rail trip can be made once again from Oxford to Cambridge! If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
Thank God for people like you who captured so much of the railways as they were! I love these video's!
Thank you....i still have a whole lot more historic ones to upload........
Those class 104s sound amazing. I'm transported back to my childhood!
Yet another blast from the past, used to love the rasp they made climbing out of marylebone.
I used to watch Class 118 DMUs on the Western Region at Slough and Langley during the 1980's. They also were unofficially named 'bog units' on account of the pneumatic noises they made during gear changes.
This video is a classic. I love the class 104s in NSE livery, the hybrid sets of 104/108 and 108/101. I remember a time when these charismatic little trains were everywhere, you couldn't turn round without seeing them. Oh how I long for those days again.
I've always had a soft spot for the BR first generation DMU's, and filmed them wherever i saw them......
Love the exhaust not on these... thanks for uploading
My pleasure.....
Thank you also for an insight into yesteryear in Bedford too! There isn’t an awful lot of footage of Bedford station in this era.
My pleasure.... Have you seen my Bedford upload from 1991? See it here ua-cam.com/video/nAdtafBjw5w/v-deo.html
Wonderful film footage, thank you. That brings back memories.
We used to call the local platform at Salisbury the Raj Poot after the Indian restaurant on Fisherton St made a lovely smell on winter afternoons. 205033 virtually lived on the line.😊
Yes, i recall that unit was pretty solid in the Salisbury area....I'm partial to a curry....at Purfleet the old ststion buffet became a take-away curry house......very handy when on the Purfleet Yoeman discharge job......many a foil dish piled up by the shunt signal on the goods line there.......lol
Great video 😊
The most beautiful DMUs ever. Better than that modern junk!
Love this, it's like in a teen all over again, thanks for sharing
I love those old DMMUs. Trains cobbled together from various classes. Unlike today where so many types can only couple within their class, or adding an extra carriage to a unit would involve a days work and reprogramming the train's computer.
Todays trains are nuts. Inflexible, over complicated and ridiculously expensive to manufacture.
It is crazy today....even different sub classes of the same train cannot couple together because of the build spec being different from the requirements of different TOCs....It took BR years to replace all the pre nationalisation stock with a standard country wide norm....only to have it smashed to pieces again.......The first gen DMUs did have different sub classes (like the Bedpan 127s that were fully auto & could only couple within class) but a lot were Blue Square and could be couple up to 12 carriages with up to six powered out of the 12. I always liked the forst gen units and filmed them where-ever i could....lots more still to upload.
The thing at 8 mins is a right mix up
Another great one and a great blast from the past!!!
My pleasure......
Fantastic video Soi.
Strange towards the end of NSE days Marylebone sets were just a hotch potch of whatever they can put together.
I certainly dont remember 108s on that line.
Lovely seeing the Thumpers at Salisbury,ha many a day mis-spent there lol.
It's funny how no-one ever really rated DMU's back in the day.
And how we all miss them now!
I seem to recall the Marylebone sets quite mixed up all time when i was out filming. I always had a soft spot for real DMUs & DEMUs....a decent ride rather than the horrible seats on today's new stock....
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus
Can't argue with that mate.
Absolutely brilliant footage 👍
If only we could turn the clock back to when we had proper DMUs
Yes, old style DMUs were great fun to ride on, normally always a good view out the front (or back!).....
A nostalgic delight.
My pleasure....lots more to come.....
Fantastic lash-up at 8.03 - 108 driving car facing forwards and three 115 driving cars facing backwards!
This was at the end of DMU operations and Marylebone shoved whatever moved in any order, prided there was a cab at each end!
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus
May I enquire upon a spelling error?
prided? - did you forget about the letters ov to spell the word provided?
Better than cancelling the train due to lack of rolling stock
@@Keithbarber Yes, my keyboard is getting old and if i hit the keys too quick they don't always make contact!
love the bog cars!!
They were fun to ride in...they used to roll a fair bit as i recall....I dove a Sandite one to Leicester once on a route learning trip, fantastic trip, we flew along the MML......
What year was this Soi? Pre 1994 as there was 62 stock at West Ruislip, as soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew that was Acton main line but it sure as hell doesn’t look like that anymore!
Yes, it was all filmed before then. I haven't seen Acton for quite a while but i bet it's not as clear to film trains now.....
Soi Buakhao no it’s not there’s a new bridge spanning across over all 4 main lines for the new station building
I recall class 115s at Harrow on the Hill. Seemed so out of place with all the A stock.
But both built in the same era...... And both were steam replacement stock as well....
Bit of a grinding halt for that met-cam around 12:20, lost all his vacuum did he?
Yes, looks that way. Lots of revving to build it up again......lol
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus had it happen to me on a 108 with the back end stuck out of the depot siding at Bewdley
@@olly5764 Never good when a train sits down....my class 60 sprung an air leak on the air dryer.....and sat down at Willesden High Level! So near to getting the train back but not quite....an engine was sent out before i sorted it but we got the train back without too much delay.....
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus well, at least we were empty stock and the last thing out in the evening when it happened to me, blew my chances of a pint on the way home out of the water though!
Can I use parts of the footage for videos? With credit of course..
Yes, that's fine, with a link to my channel please.......
Anything on the Great Western would have been before 1992 when our Turbos were being delivered. Marylebone is probably around the same time.
Yes, i remember doing an NSE Rover in May 92 to chase the last of the loco hauled workings out of Paddington as the Turbo's were due. The Chiltern ones arrived in mid 91 although were only on test, i have one on film at West Ruislip but it wasn't in service, the first gen DMU's still ruled.....
