Brilliant footage, watching it rolled back the years. It's been 40 years but I instantly recognised the ones that had unusual features, like 131s crossed eyed headcode boxes and 28 still had the nameplate studs in the sides. Information that's been sitting unused in my head all this time. There were a few really healthy ones that didn't make it, 28, 44, 60 and 104 spring to mind plus the late numbered Healey Mills ones.

Fantastic footage and thank you for sharing. Great locos, proper trains and fabulous sound .Wonderful memories of rail blue come flooding back.

Just seen a picture of 001 at Chester

2 minutes and 50 seconds in, the flailing is Hellfire! It’s how life used to be! Brilliant film thank you. Class 40’s as I remembered them!

Pegness due to the strap ons ?

Oh the memories of those times long gone. Great footage, cheers.😊

The good old days, music to my ears 😊

Locals have complained about a few 68s ideling overnight keeping stock warm for morning start of service. ...they would be straight on phone for this lot of movements 😮

They were scary as a kid

With the footage of the double headed 40`s out of liverpool, after the first tunnel, it`s like ducking your head under water and seeing nothing, then second time, there a sodden great white in your face! Great bit of film, and extremely clear to.

Marvellous

What a fantastic video. As a 10 year old, I remember being taken around the north west chasing the last 40's. Plenty of visits to Newton Heath, and Reddish Vale. I remember standing on the end of platform 5 on that day, watching the train come in, and the light engine go back out. As it left, the driver opened her up. Never would I think that someone would have captured the moment on video, including my late father, myself and my two younger brothers, all clearly visible around the tripod at the end of the platform. Thanks for uploading.

The KING of diesels!!

nice finesse with power handle no wheel spin on a damp day....take a lesson preserved drivers....but a bit sloppy with brake hanndle into emergency for station stops? and the slap slap of the air powered wipers....!!!!! drove you potty if it rained all day

Absolutely hellfire compilation :) Great to see 40s in the landscape and all those freight workings. What was the double-headed working at 40mins load14!!! including the two InterCity coaches. And D200 on a tour that follows - is that Miles Platting? Excellent memories captured for posterity!

Haven't watched it all yet but your bits of music gives me a smile,did the same with my Deltic films super8 sound camera and editing with music and mixing with my projector, 1981 on a kitchen table after doing 12 hours at work, still enjoy watching it mistakes and all. DELTIC'S Ana a class 40.Times gone buy.😂

The class 40 pass at Ais Gill is impressive timing :) Such great locos :)

Very emotional when they were singing "for she's a jolly good engine"....

3:10 A monstrously thrash-full departure on those greasy rails! 🚂👍

Glorious ❤

bag of nails, she is over fuelling on a couple of cylinders. Pumps need adjusting

4:16 What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon filming classic locos on freight: in the background the sound of birdsong, and was that a factory siren slowly fading away ... 🚂👍

Red Bank is/was a classic rail location, with LS Lowrey's famous steps and footbridge in the background! 🚂👍

5:56 That 40 on the scrap train was going all out considering the amount of exhaust! 🚂👍

Absolutle timeless rail footage: a classic loco, foul weather and the North of England! 🚂👍

5:30 Those were the days: real characters, real trains! 🚂👍

Epic. Absolutely Epic! Particularly the soundtrack. Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor! 👍

Splendid

Amazing to think most of those bashers and insectaneds will be in their mid 50s now happy times

I grew up not far from here in Ashton, and i still remember seeing the Flying Scotsman at Guide Bridge when i was aged about 9 :-)

How to ruin a model 101

I started as a 2nd man with BR in 1980. Last class 40 I was ever on got about a mile out of the yard, failed, had to be hauled back in 😕

Very late to the party with this comment but I've only just found the video while searching for D213 images. 40013 Andania was the loco that my grandfather drove on his last day before retiring from BR in the late 60's, we recently came across a photo of him leaning out of the cab at the end of his last shift, and as Andania is still running in splendidly restored form under the stewardship of LMS Ltd in Crewe we asked them if we could recreate the photo for the family album, they were brilliant and arranged for my son and I join the loco in Crewe at the end of it's whistling highlander tour to take the picture. It's so interesting to see 40013 in it's BR blue colours as she is now resplendent in green.

Just watched this excellent footage. How boring are the railways now. Thanks for sharing

I remember being hauled by one these Sulzers to Leeds from Kings X and returning to Kings X behind one of them, I didn’t know what they were at the time but I thought they were fantastic, with the three window sections and the nose, such an air of travel. you really felt you were going somewhere, I remember walking past the flank of the Sulzer at Kings X after arriving with this huge tumbling noise of the Sulzer under roof of Kings X , I absolutely loved them

There's no school like the old school and that driver is the headmaster!

The class 40 is so good but it’s a shame they didn’t get a chance to be more successful this video shows how much rail infrastructures love the class 40s

they could of give it a clean for its final run in service, typical of the era, wonderful locos though.

7/7 1M54 Skeg-Picc

Clip at 2:40 was that Doctor Death filming?

Looks like Bolton railway station

0:25 THEY WERE GETTING OFF WHILE IT WAS MOVING? could someone explain why

Super stuff!!!

These engines much go through a lot of turbos?

😮 don't go down the con yard theres asbestos everywhere

Note the Class 31 at the beginning had number at both ends.

July 27th 2024 would be the first time that a class 40 would return to Skegness for 40 yrs.

I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200, Cummins M11 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 77 Octagon and Every 37 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.14 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 18 Tonnes for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!!! And Please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please?
