Another very busy visit to Cardiff Station with the Class 37's still the most common motive power to be seen , with Class 31 , 47 , 56 and 60's also being seen.
What a great video, how things have changed !!. Nowadays what freight that passes would be in a 66 hands, dirty American upstarts , no clag ,no class !!. And a chance to see "Oystermouth " running through too, I'm lead to believe that it was a regular in this part of Wales but I'm from Kent and in my days 'gricing' in the 80s 56's were rare and seeing 040 even rarer. Fabulous. Thank you .-bud the painter-
Top notch vid once again! One forgets just how busy that place was eh! . . Nice to see 47536 and 37887 in action as i modelled them! I last went there 20 years ago and knew i probably would'nt be back as the drop in freight was quite frightening! And too many sheds by then eh lol. . . And i just noticed 37702 with rectangular buffers!
Brilliant video, can't understand why I haven't seen this before. Cardiff in the good old days, you can stand on cardiff station these days and see sod all freight for hours, where has it all gone.
So much activity thanks.
Was always a busy spot as were lots of other places in those days!

Glad you enjoyed it and pretty sure I have some other Cardiff stuff!
Great video, thanks for posting!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed. I hope you are enjoying my other stuff as well!
My word, it was busy. I think at one point there were about five locos moving at the same time
Yeap was pretty much always like that at Cardiff in those days
propper video with proper locos not a dirty 66 in sight
Thanks Mike, but they weren't far away and then it suddenly became very different!
