Nice session. I remember steam/diesel crossover, and all the varied liveries, though plain maroon was dominant until the blue/grey standard arrived. I lived on the old GWR Paddington Birmingham line near Solihull. Saw occasional SR steam locos on specials, then the 33s on inter regional frieghts.
Thank you for sharing past memories, always good to have first hand experience of the period, like you, I also remember the introduction of BR Blue-Grey in the mid 60s although maroon coaching stock was still around in the west country up until 1974!
Great session. An impressive fleet of SR steam! As atmospheric as always. Cheers, Karl
Thankyou Karl!

This video is bit of an eclectic mix, green and Blue-Grey stock mixed in with steam and diesel!
Sure is!
