Used to be great fun at night at Retford seeing the MGRs, mostly 56s if I remember. Before that, it would have been 20s, 40s and 76s up in the Guide Bridge to Sheffield, Wath, Tinsley areas. That was back in the 70s though. Thanks for the video, great memories of a real working railway.
You're most welcome Nigel...I wish I had been able to visit here in the 1970s. The earliest for me would have been passing through as a kid in the mid 70s on one of my merry jaunts out with my trusty tape recorder...What great memories indeed......Many thanks....Mark
@@spompey I wish I had a video camera back then instead of a 35ml SLR. Got loads of great stills but they're not the same. Not much I can do about it now though. Hey ho.
@@nigelarmstrong252 Yes Nigel I agree we all have regrets...I just wish I had a video camera like today's camera's then and had kept my early 1970s audio recordings better as they have deteriated so much or been recorded over....never get rid of the stills....best wishes and many thanks....Mark
Brilliant,! Standing on the footbridge when those 56s blasted underneath with loaded mgrs was a real challenge, so loud it was almost scary. Thank you
No problem Matt and so many thanks ....Mark

Brilliant, nice to see those 101's again. Not much footage out there of these Dmu's, shame!
I will try to include more old DMU footage in my archive compilations in the future, you are very welcome.....Mark
The final scene of the 56 under power was awesome.
Many thanks for your appreciation Mark....Yes the 56s could perform when needed too.....Mark
Happy days!!! We get no freight at all now on the Robin Hood line... Just boring passinger traffic and the odd test train.... So annoying 😁
I think it is the same for most places now.....A big shame.......best regards....Mark
