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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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
