- A miscellany of films from the eastern and central divisions of the SR from the 1930s to the 1960s
I don't own this video I uploaded it for people to enjoy, I make no money from this video all copyright goes to Midland Publishing and Online Video
I have just begun modelling 1930s Southern. This is like a goldmine to me! I had no idea that Pullman cars were found in the rakes. I have a couple of those so I will make sure they feature!! Thanks for this unbelievabley rare and insightful content!
One of the very best collections of Southern Steam I’ve ever seen. Especially a former LBSCR Baltic Tank, and Schools with no deflectors. Wonderful indeed.
Superb footage and narrative! Most grateful, thank you.
N classes are my absolute favorite 😍. Lovely footage of them in their headay!
These visuals are amazing, England when it still had some greatness.😢
My Granddad, Uncle and Mum all worked on Southern railways, my Mum was telephonist on Brighton Station
during the War.
Fascinating, thanks for sharing 👍
20:53 Great Scotland Yard. It's The Brighton Belle Pullman Train. Thanks Mate. X
What a great film, thanks for sharing
Notice how neat and tidy the hedges are! Nothing overgrown, you can see across the fields, so much nicer!
And no grafitti to be seen anywhere!
Overgrown hedges are better for the few wild animals we still have thanks to all the lawns and pesticides.
It’s nice to see some classic southern steam
The Cuckoo Line was closed in 1965 and 1968 in two stages with the second stage being from Hailsham to Polegate. The Cuckoo Line was an excellent way to travel from Tunbridge Wells to Eastbourne for a day out at the seaside. Excellent views from the train of the truly outstanding East Sussex countryside. If only this Cuckoo Line was open today? Look at the population and size of Hailsham and Heathfield yet today no railway.
Excellent and informative and nostalgic, thankyou for this
Just so greatful for this valuable footage
Probably one of the best films I've seen.thank you
Living in Penge S E London, we often used to watch the Golden Arrow in the 1950's whizz through......Seeing it pass behind the the old Grammar School, and just about to pass through Kent House Stn'
Brilliant video. Great to see the footage of Sandling Junction. We have been tracing the line from Sandling to Sandgate. There is still quite a lot of railway features to be seen.
Very emotive Dunkirk evacuation train ,people waving and welcoming home.thank goodness we had a rail system capable of moving these trains.
15:50 Note The GWR Pannier Tank Engines At Folkestone Docks. Thanks Mate. Xxxx 🇺🇸
Amazing footage from the ´30’s. THANKYOU so much for sharing this!

What a wonderful compilation! So much to see, it needs repeated viewing.
It is surprising, when one looks at 'red and cream' preserved carriages now, just how bright BR's original carmine and cream was.
@@johnjephcote7636 Although, back in the day, there was often a coating of grime over the paint. On preserved railways locos and carriages are way cleaner than I remember from the 1950's. I visited Doncaster Works in 1958 and Swindon in 1962 and to see locos ex-works was such a contrast to how they normally looked. It was breathtaking to this spotter!
@@MrDavil43 Indeed! Though, as a painter, I still believe that shade of carmine was exceptionally bright! I will never forget, at Crewe, in 1959 seeing a glistening British Legion (ex-Fury!) in the paint shop, having its tender transfer applied, all lining having been completed.
Wonderful footage and informative commentary
Great video! At 28:45 though, it's actually one of the Bullied-Raworth third rail electric locos, later designated class 70, even though they were scrapped before TOPS classed them as such in 1973
Super film says it all good old England
Enjoy the ride.
Just gorgeous...
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Fascinating - I grew up in Folkestone and the Harbour Branch never ceased to fascinate with three and sometimes four R1 0-6-0Ts later displaced by GWR 46XX paniers. If we could get to the Junction in time we could see Bullied pacifics 'lurking' for the return working to Victoria and later, BR Britannia pacifics. Incidentally the shot at 6.30 is Folkestone Junction, not Sandling as the commentary states.
Interesting to see so many Sussex branch lines, before they closed.
20:59 not "Weaversfield" - "Wivelsfield", my home station for several commuting years.
All Aboard. All Aboard.
I love the E4
superb film
As somebody who was born and raised in Horsted Keynes, may I respectfully point out that Keynes is pronounced "Kanes"?
A most enjoyable film, thank you. 😊
And he gets Wivelsfield wrong as well..........but a wonderful Film, I spent many Happy Hours travelling back Home to Lewes, and my dear Wife came from Plumpton, born in one of the LBSC Railway Houses there.
What wonderful times !
Never to be repeated again.
Filmed when 'Great Britain ' was GREAT!!!!!
Not like now!!!
(woke etc free)
Wonderful!
Very nice video
34:24 Not "eight thousand and eleven" (8011) but eighty thousand and eleven (80011). 8011 might have been an LNER N7 0-6-2T, but not, surprisingly, a GWR locomotive.
Steamer and train travel ,far less manic than this day and age!
White cab roof on the Royal Train 'Schools', but were those white-walled tyres as well?
3:44 is the baltic tank referring to the lbscr l
No computers, no smart phones, no satellites orbiting the Earth to make the technology work. No worries about Global Warming, no worries about Climate Change. No nuclear weapons at least up to 1945. By no means a perfect country, yet I love these old videos that show us a Britain that is no longer.
As a denizen of many of these areas, I loved it. Is there anything on East Kent I wonder?
Brilliant footage, but shocking pronunciation of good old Sussex place names!
39:36 Not "Kymer junction" but "Keemer junction".
36:11 Not "Horsted Keens", Horsted Kaynes.
Someday...
BRITISH RAIL WILL GET YOU THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN 👑
Horsted Kaines, keemer junction. It's a 2 nol not a 2 bil...........etc!
Brilliant this video shows the air pollution I remember going to school in the 1950s people born after the 1970s have no idea what pollution really is ! They aught to go through what we went through every day with the fog and smut that was a constant threat to our well being!! Global warming is a lode of bollocks . The air quality is well over 100% better nowadays and the buildings all around London are cleaner apart from that graffiti which plagues every city in this country and the rest of the world ! When is everyone going to wake up to the fact that all this crap that's on the news and in the media is scaring people into believing it's for the common good, bollocks ! some groups of the population are making a hell of a lot of money out of this ? It has to stop right now !!! ☠️
Problem is that the British people are easily scared. The lockdown is another to our eternal democratic shame.
No thank you for your deluded comments.
39:01 look at that global warming. 😂
How can the commentator get so many names wrongly pronounced?
More than likely unfamiliar with the area
Or else.
The sound is dubbed and in every single case it is wrong. It's like watching a sax player but hearing the sound of a piano. The sound, and not just the sight, of a steam engine is a vital part of its appeal and where the two are in conflict I find it almost unwatchable. It just fucks my brain. As a local I know these lines like the back of my hand but I'd rather live with the memories than hear this confusing nonsense. It would be better with no sound at all but nobody dare do that.
Sadly not all the classes of locomotive have been lucky to survive the cutters torch for them to record authentic sounds for them. Also doubt that they would have had the budget to do so, and don't believe that you could record both video and audio simultaneously in the earlier shots
@@jameswright7284 She’s talking out of her hat, with bad language to boot.
This is a quite superb documentary! The shots of the Brighton Baltic tanks are precious and rare. And the smog atmosphere at New Cross is terrible but memorable as to be expected on any day (thank heavens a thing of the past!). The lifting of a passenger’s car on board a ferry boat is fascinating. When I made my very first crossing of the Channel with my magnificent (sorry but memories are made of this as sang by Sinatra!) Vincent HRD 500cc also being ‘lifted’ in similar fashion albeit with no wheel board…Ah those were the days back in 1956!
Many many thanks for this excellent doc’ …Locowise amazing Brighton fan, believing that the other two looked down on Billinton’s designs…The rebuilding of the Baltics didn’t even re classify them properly as in Brighton/Central Section style they ought to have been classified as L1X…L for their original start L1 for a new class which they became then L1X for the X denoting they were rebuilds…Instead we got N15 for a sort of King Arthur class then the Brighton X to denote rebuilds into that class (which even on that Western classification should’ve become N16 as a “new class” … Maunsell probably turned down any suggestion of a “L1X” classification because of coming to close to his excellent Eastern Section L1 4:4:0s….Excellent documentary and heartfelt thanks to you for your magnificent efforts…
Poor video
How so?
Probably just a silly troll who can't understand why footage filmed in the 1930s isn't in 4K or understands that these sort of things were one take audio recordings
@@jameswright7284 Idiot remark.
@@jameswright7284 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍nail on the head there James
