Thanks for uploading this Malcolm. Brings back happy memories when I was a small lad at that time. I know the Depot Manager the late Colin Palmer and he invited me and my Dad one Sunday Morning and it was fantastic visit the Depot to see many First Generation Diesels on site
thanks Malcolm. reminds me of my spotting days in the 1970s and the railtours recently via the loop and to Cleethorpes with the deltic a few weeks ago.
Thank you once again. I never really got to see the area, but as a young lad was jealous of anyone taking the 45 bus with its destination blind reading ‘Immingham Loco’ to go and work on the trains. Looking forward to part 2!
Thanks for some great footage with a concise and informative commentary. Nice to see some behind the scene shots of a typical depot mess room and booking on area.
Did you happen to know any of the signalmen at immigham, an old friend of ours works in one of the signal box's his name is Ian short unfortunately we haven't seen him for a number of years now,
@@joginns778 Sorry worked in the Loco shed then so didn't know many signalmen , only ones' I knew of where Chris Griffen IMM east (sadly passed away ) and the infamous Garrath in IMM reception box
@@nounoufriend1442 thanks for answering back, it was worth a try a friend of ours was a driver at thornaby depot, he's also one of the owners of 47 105 goldcrest,
Where did that end up ? it was electropneumatic wasn't it ? ,been in the box few times ,quite a unique frame I would think You replaced it with portacabin /shipping container thing till York ROC took control after the resignaling
Wow, I enjoyed that! A real Heineken tour, reaching many parts normally unseen except by staff. Amazed how many 'civilian' admin staff in the offices, and those big PC monitor screens didn't leave much room on your desk for paperwork, or your coffee cup. As a local lad, born and brought up in Stallingborough, it was amazing how much new stuff I learned. I hadn't realised that there was a new C&W workshop built to service the rotary iron-ore tipplers for the Anchor project. You mention last steam loco off 40B was 61058 on 7.2.1966, coincidentally the very day I started work at NP Bank in Riby Square, Grimsby. I used to 'commute' by train to Grimsby Docks station, and at least in the beginning the morning stopping train from Doncaster and the evening return approx 18:15 from Cleethorpes were worked by a B1. It later became Class 31 hauled. On the morning train two of my daily fellow travellers were a briefcase, umbrella and trilby-hatted gentleman from Scunthorpe (?) who worked in the Dock Offices, and a fitter who smoked Capstan Full Strength (splutter!) and travelled through from Doncaster to attend the boiler on the carriage-heating van on the blocks at Cleethorpes station to overnight heat the stock of the two early morning trains to London Kings Cross, in those days via the East Lincs line.
This was brilliant, Malcolm. It would be very interesting to see old maps of the town where all these tracks and sidings were.
Very interesting film. Nice to see the infrastructure ,docks etc. And that lovely signal box xx
That brought back memories I worked at the loco from 1986 until 2008 and I saw alot of old workmates, thanks for sharing
How you doing Geoff ,keeping well I hope , Sad to see our old workplace completely all gone now

Interesting how it used to be as I was one of the team that de commissioned Immingham East box, the frame was saved for preservation
Where did that end up ? it was electropneumatic wasn't it ? ,been in the box few times ,quite a unique frame I would think

From Brumby Rd you could often see the pilots clanking back and forth during the week. We called them the mechanical oompah loompahs. 😂😂
