Thanks.... and still plenty more to come!

Been on 410/417 4TC's a few times
with Bournemouth Rail Travel in the 90's. Anthony Stone was quite a character.
Lovely video, never loved the class 71 years ago, but now seeing one in green, is so nostalgic.
Waterloo must be a nightmare for signalmen.
think I was on the pair of 33s as they worked Waterloo - Exeter on 3rd October 1992 (also had 47712 - seen on the inward working)
Yes, it sounds about the right sort of time.....
First time ever I've seen a 33 in NSE livery, even living near the SW main line all 66 years of my life. I didn't know it existed.
Tow were done, 33 035 and 33 114.....
Good to know Avantis up against a REAL train to put its bucket service to shame. Class 90, coaches, buffet..
A quality ride on a friday, as long as you have £75.00 one way......
Another classic video Soi, it's made my day. All those beautiful BRUSH TYPE 47'S. It's what dreams are made of. At least in my world. NETWORK SOUTHEAST AT IT'S BEST 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍
Thank you.... luckily i have a good stock of old films as yet unseen......
Love the sound of the Thumper departing Basingstoke, plus the 47's at Waterloo. Many thanks for the upload.
Our old stalwart 1133 out of Salisbury, which did the Southampton run for more than 35yrs.
I was there ! The chap in the green/yellow/black ski jacket is me at 3:11 !! A gang of us had booked the Royal Wessex railtour run by Hertfordshire Railtours, and hauled by E5001 (71 001) + 73 132 on two 4TC sets. The date was 13th September 1992. 73 132 worked on her own to Bournemouth Depot (nee Bournemouth West), with the two 4TCs, and 33 114 worked back from the depot to the station. This was back in the day, when even the Southern Region with its affinity to all things 'karts' used to turn out Class 47s (and earlier Class 50s) and Class 33s. The '62' headcode denoted a train to Salisbury. 47 853 was probably working a Poole/Man Picc intercity. While the Class 205 DEMU 'Hampshire' unit, seen at Basingstoke was working a train to Reading. Whilst traincrews liked the Class 47/7s with their higher gearing to allow 100 mph running, I have mixed feelings about renaming them. 47 708 was my favourite Scottish example, formerly Waverley, now seen as Templecombe. Nice that Stratford stalwart 47 583 County of Hertfordshire makes an appearance. I fondly remember these Class 47 'counties' on the Norwich and Kings Lynn turns. Thanks for capturing these evocative images and sounds on video, for us old gits to enjoy.
My pleasure..... You are the third viewer who has seen himself on one of my videos...... A guard on the Isle of Wight was first, he saw himself from a trip i did in 1988. It's taken him 30+ years to find out what i was up to back then!......
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus In a green/black/yellow ski jacket, it is a bit difficult not to spot me. Sorry for spoiling your video with my ugly presence. LOL ! I also feature in several PTG Hungary tours and a few ITG Irish tours, wearing a scarlet red and dark blue ski jacket.
Excellent footage 👍
Thank you.....
Great video, interesting to see the two ex Scotrail shove duffs, 47712 and 47708, are also both on my layout. 47708 is in Scotrail livery, and works a push pull train, wheras 47712 is in Parcels livery, as seen in this video, albeit without the NSE flashes. Indeed, as I write, 47712 is my most recent arrival on the layout!
Eventually, before the West of England loco hauled services finished, all the ex Scotrail 47/7s ended up working on this line. Res were relutcant to release 704 as NSE had refused to overhaul it and Res stumped up the cash to do so. NSE got so short of power it went to BR Board level before it worked for a short while on this line.....
I was on that rail tour to Bournemouth behind E5001. The return leg was stopped short at Clapham Junction as both Waterloo & Victoria were closed due to some demonstration march getting out of hand.
This was a very interesting clip put together Soi with a Crompton in full NSE colours which to be honest i've not seen in a British railway book let alone on film. And the preserved Class 71 E5001 with 73132 and a pair of 4TC's being the highlights of it.
There were two Cromptons painted in NSE colours, 33 035 and 33 114. Check out this upload here for 33 114 ua-cam.com/video/pVWwel9L5vU/v-deo.html
I thought the NSE livery looked rather dapper on a 33. I was a reasonably regular traveller on the Salisbury back then, can't recall seeing one in the flesh.
Some quality Thunberg emissions from the 47 leaving Basingstoke!
Yes, i'm sure some quality BR classic traction gave her sleepless nights!...... lol
Great railway video as always
Thank you.....
Fantastic footage as always
Many thanks!
Great footage. Thanks' for posting :)
Fab footage! Thanks for uploading.
My pleasure.....
47712 now privately owned and based at Crewe Heritage Centre on lease to LSL
Great video. One thing from it that is abundantly clear, is that the NWSE livery hasn’t stood the test of time. Applied to the class 33 and 50 units, it’s just hideous.
I alwys found the NSE livery quite colourful and found it one of the bestBR liveries......
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus well Soi, it’s all just a matter of personal opinion, and I personally find the livery hasn’t stood the test of time. By the way, you really do have an excellent channel. Although I live in Germany, I used to work in transport planning during the the eighties in London. Your videos bring back fond memories. Many thanks and take care, Philip
@@flippop101 Thansk for your kind words..... And there are plenty of old vids still to upload!
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus Thank you for your kind reply, I‘ll look forward to that, your videos bring back happy memories!
It was alright on DMUs.
Some fine footage sir!
Thanks.....
Fantastico video
Thank you......
Just missed the era of the class 50.
Interesting to see the 71. I believe they could run under the wires at Hither Green back in the 70's
They were the ones converted from 71s to class 74's....
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus The 71 in your video clearly has a pantograph
@@iainmaturin8460 You're right, i'm getting my wires crossed as it were!...lol Yes, the 71s could work in a couple of yards with DC overheads. Those rebuilt to class 74s had a diesel engine fitted, and were like class 73s. apart from this one, i have never seen any others, not living on the Southern Region growing up in the 1970s......
@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus me neither. I grew up on the Southern,watching trains between Woking and Basingstoke. Remember something similar to 71's that formed part of a 4TC unit they were at the rear of the set pushing
@@iainmaturin8460 at the end of 1987/early 88, BR replaced the motor coach of the REP units with a class 73, this was because the traction motors were taken off and used in the new build 442 Wessex Electrics. this may be what you saw?.... They is one on my upload here ua-cam.com/video/57tr07SKmw4/v-deo.html
Back in the days when we had a 'proper' railway!
Back when we had a proper country
4:16 🚂👍😍
I'm always struck by the lovely mix of different types of loco and stock etc. Its so boring now!
Yes, there was a lot more variety back then......
Yes and railway staff seem alot more anti enthusiast than in those days too.
Pretty great video though... Why did they be only one of freight train join the carriage toward the country and one freight train join the carriage backward to local the country? Why does that one freight join carriages through the services? Should be two of them on both sides, one of the front frieght train with carriages and one of the back freight with it. Must be running on time to leave the service. Otherwise may is delayed leave a few late, that's not looks good at all.
