Very nice video! I found an old Hornby model purchased by me and my uncle back in the 70s when we were having an English training trip It brings back lots of nice memories
Ahhh, toffee apples , was it just the 31/0s that had the power handle that the driver had to take with him when he changed ends .I was told that the power handle looked like a toffee apple so thats how they got their nickname , i was never sure that someone was pulling my leg or not. Does anyone know the truth and real fact on that . Thank you all .
What a great video. Brings back memories of these versatile workhorses, utterly unglamorous but reliable. Great video. Thanks for the memories.
Many thanks! 😊👍
Happy memories of these engines thundering through Melton Mowbray at 9pm every evening with the mail train back in the 70s
Very nice video!

Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Used to see the class 33 with 4 wagons and a tram end carriage through the chiltern line in the 70’s & early 80’s
Glad it brought back memories 👍😊
Great to see the 31's in action - locos with plenty of character! 🚂👍
Yes, I enjoyed putting this compilation together. Planning to do some others -maybe Class 33s next, or 37s?! Cheers, Geoff @ OldOakTrains.
Thanks very much for the link .. takes one back to the happy days
Glad it brought back memories 😊👍
Great video! Only one gripe though, over a minute of intro, that’s waaaay too long!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the feedback. 😊
New version uploaded in order to correct a loco numbering issue - apologies 🤫
Thanks for a great film
Thanks for commenting Nick. Glad you enjoyed it, more Loco themed compilations to come….. cheers Geoff. 😊
They had a very distingtive rattley sound as did the class 33s good old engines good old days .
the 1st time I bashed 31444 was from Goole to Doncaster on the 30th June 1984
Classic locomotion
