My dad used to go to all these locations in the 50s and 60s, just to watch the steam trains. Now I find myself regularly at the NYMR, doing the same thing. The apple never falls far from the tree.
What great footage. It takes me back to a time in this country when a childhood didn't consist of gadgets and the I want I want attitude. Thank you for this. It removes the horrible anxious feelings that go with this so called modern day society. Back to a time when life was at a walking pace and people were so much nicer to each other.

Me too. bit of a surprise those shots, first I've personally come across. Thanks
9F Going light engine north through Retford and I think that was another 9F towing a diesel shunter going east towards Worksop ?
Cliffs to Uddingston cement train with double headed class 33Diesels this film full of memories,
Excellent footage there, especially of the A1s around York.
60002 looks a bit clean for a Gateshead engine.
I never knew there was an engine named after Sir Murrough Wilson...
Lots of interesting stuff here but it needs locations identifying.
Many of them were if you looked...
