- My coverage of the steam-hauled specials organised during three Sundays in October 1991 by Regional Railways for the 150th anniversary of the Taff Vale Railway, featuring BR Standard Class 4 2-6-4T No.80080. First mainline steam in the Welsh Valleys for 26 years. Captured from original Video 8 footage which was 90 mins long but edited here to a 30 mins highlights version.
Filmed and edited by Ray Viney
Equipment used: Sony Handycam Pro V90 with Sony remote mic. and a hefty Velbon tripod.

Nice to see a standard tank out doing its thing and giving blast down memory lane for many enthusiastic fans.
I've got great memories of these locomotives they served well.
Great footage. Thanks for sharing
What a great selection of footage here from 1991, Did one of the trips to Barry and this brought back fond memories from that time,looking at area around Barry Dock and Barry station and how these scenes have changed so much to the present day,great video and thanks for sharing.
So very common when I was a kid, never noticed them then. I had broad grin right through the film. Thank you for the vid.
Great footage Ray,best I’ve seen of this trip.
Absolutely amazing footage Ray, we were both at the same locations in several clips, and I recognised a few friends throughout the video as well. This brought back so many memories of travelling around the Cardiff Valleys over the years as well as these particular runs.....Thanks very much for sharing this link, it's greatly appreciated...Best wishes...Bob
Great to see this footage. I was able to photograph some of the activity that day and was supposed to travel on the journey to Merthyr - but my watch stopped and I didn't know the time. I missed the train and I had travelled from Glasgow to specifically travel on it!
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! had great fun trying to name the locations before the captions. 1991 seems so recent to me but, of course, it is now an era that has passed into history just as Radyr junction and semaphore signals have!!
BUT THIS WAS UNLAWFULLY NOT PUBLICIEDM PREVENTING MANY OUT OF AREA KNOWING AND ATTENDING= DISGUSTING LACK OF PUBLICITY AS USUAL IN THE UK THE MOST CORRUPT, INCPMPRTERNT AND USELESS COUNTRY IN WEST EUROPE. THEY NEED TO COMPENSATE THOSELIKE THEY PREVENTED FROM ATTENDING, BUT I CAN NEVER GONOW AS I HAVE NO LOWER LEGS DUE TO BEING AN INDIRECT 2ND WAR CASUALTY AND DUE TO SCUM TORY CUTS CAN NOT GET PROSTHETICS, A MOTOR WHEELCHAIR, A FRONT DOOR HIGH SPEP LIFT OF A NEW MANUSAL WHELCHAIR TO REPLACE MY FAULTY UNSAFE ONE. B !!!11.
Yes I remember Radyr yard and it's semaphore signals, as a lad wònderful days, Not the same anymore, still fond memories linger on.
@@peterbuckley265 what are you on about? sounds like you are a core labour voter, disabled and stupid.
That would be a sight to see a few steam trains on the valley lines for a while
Brilliant footage, well captured
Thank you Colin for those comments
Your welcome
Enjoy the ride.
Fantastic footage woooooooooooow
17:49 blows my mind
My husband is the man filming from the Rover car and has some first class action of the loco. It,s on full size VHS cassette.
Nice one:-) I used to drive a Rover SD1 V8 back in 1986:-)
I love the fact railfans could be trackside then:-)
Superb video!
Many thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
i had two commemorative medals /tokens for t.v.r 150 years
Jesus, 22:35 out the sunroof of a Rover SD1 that's brave XD
20th & 21st Centuries Steam Locomotive Train rides.
Abercynon isn’t on the Treherbert route.
WHEN WILL THERE BE STEAM ON SOUTH WALES VALLEY LINES NEXT TIME THEN, BUT WITH THE PROPER LEGAL PUBLICITY THAT WAS DISGUSTINGLY MISISING IN LATE 1991. S0RYY ABOUT TYPOIS AS HAVE DOUBLE BLUYRRED VISION, AND AM BEDRIDDEN WIFH NO LOWER LEGS NOW AT PRESENT TILL I CAN FIND FUNDS FOR PROSTHETICS I CANN NOT GET THROUGH SCUM TORY CUTS.
blame labour for the health problems in wales you muppet
