Hey Daniel!

I didn’t even know this preservation line existed. A very interesting watch. 👍🏻

I was astonished to see this station when I sped through it on the Trans-Pennine Express to Cleethorpes on Thursday 3rd October 2024. I couldn't understand why we didn't stop at a town as large as Rotherham when the map showed that we were going to go there. Having read up about it I now understand, but it is a pity that such a big railway station with several platforms has been reduced to a shadow of its former self.

British Trains is cool!

Could you do this with emus next?

Good grief. I know they had differences, and served different purposes, but that's still WAY too many first generation DMUs. There's no way that that many different models were needed. At the very least, there should have been families.

Just to confirm before you comment, this video is a one-off, and I *WILL NOT* make a video on EMUS or anything else you request in 10 words or less. So please do not bother asking me.

Emu

the old blue running in boards are in a salvage yard

Cool

Why do you call Steam Locos Kettles?

GONNA MISS U TRAIN MAN

trying to figure out the 79XXX image you used

RIP Kings Cross Thameslink

My lovely 159s ❤ Still the best thing that I've driven out of 400s, 442s (Pigs), Disastros 🤮 and 170s (100mph but 90 if joined to a 159). I have always detested BR Blue. Some of the early colour schemes were beautiful in green with their whitewall tyres and whiskers. I mocked up a picture of a 159 in that scheme on an early form of Photoshop. It looks quite good 😁

Great video,

I am happy to say that I visited Lincoln before the closure of Saint Mark's station, seventies or eighties, I can't remember exactly. It was great (as an enthusiast) to have two nice stations so close, but for efficiency and passenger convenience, centralising on Central was the right decision, (forgive the pun). Central is a fine example of Victorian railway architecture. It is also nice to see the Swindon DMU, they had some character compared with Derby or Metro-Cammell sets.

Why so many designs?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

'Fart Carts' pretty much summed them up to the steam, generation.

Is the motor okay in that Deltic? It sounds rough. Nice video btw!

Pretty wheard the engine sounds like gear boxes

I’m shore we’re fine right sis class 156

Twain?

1:04 This made me laugh, I knew exactly what you were on about 😂😂 As someone from Trinidad, and a fanatic about its railways, I can say that is true. The Trinidad Government Railways (est. 1876), which had been failing financially since the early 1950’s bought 2 Class 109’s (50415 and 50419) second hand from BR in 1962, renumbered 1 and 2. It was meant as a last ditch effort by the TGR to cut operating costs. They actually worked exceptionally well, cutting much time off passenger trains originally hauled by 4-6-0/2-8-0’s and GE 44 tonners (yes, 44 tonners), proving very comfortable and reliable locomotives. Unfortunately, they came way too late to make much impact on the already “deficit ridden” railway. The government finally decided in 1964 that the railway had to go, and on the 28th December 1968, it closed for good, the last 109 working up until a few days prior. The two Wickhams languished in the Port of Spain rail yard for a couple of years after, until being scrapped in the early 70’s. Part of the coach sections were used as people’s homes, and the front sections of the powered units were cut off and welded back to back and used as a cafe in Morvant up until that itself was scrapped in the 80’s, photographs of which exists.

Every single historic rail-related item described in a sneering voice. Episode 1, The DMU.

Can anyone shine a light on the mystery Cravens power car no. E50249 which appeared in the DMU listing as part of a 4 car set introduced in 1959

i think it needs one more train.. also, fellow sheffielder?

Class 158: -Could you open the window? It's a bit stuffy in here. -If I opened the window it would upset the air conditioning. -If the aircon worked, I wouldn't be asking you to open the window...

Just seen this im now 50 years old Im the yourh standing on the fence with my pal and grandad who would be 104 tomorrow ❤ Wow i would love a coppy of this picture

you included the NIR Railcar, what about the other NIR DMUs?

We had Tadpoles

4:32 Dellner, not de-liner! Dell-ner.

No 231s?

I refer to the Class 197 as the 'Knee Destroyer'. I swear the springs on that thing were intentionally designed to kill people standing. Their always full too so you can't get a seat. The Class 158 is luxury in comparison.

3:36 outdated picture, you better get the ukelele now

I subscribed because I’m Australian and your British accent added to these trains I have no knowledge of makes the video all the more funny. 😂

I remember the ACV 'Flying Bricks' on the Watford-St.Albans branch, trying to replace the Cl4 tank and two coaches. then they tried the AC Cars for a while. Very early, mid 1950s.

Derby represent!

The Class 129 had standard couplings, but non-Standard multiple working equipment. Its totally different.

I think he likes trains…

if i didn't watch britain's greatest machines i woukd have no shit what leyland is

2:43 It sort of is as there is actually accommodation for passengers in the powercars

my opinions: class 165: i will never not be salty that they changed the livery. class 166: i will never not be salty that they are swapping you out.

Class 103 = cavalier mk1 Class 104 = cortina mk4 Prove me wrong

Today marks 1 year since I was at this railway and I gotta say it has come on a good bit since then with the Class 10 arriving (then leaving again, it'll be back soon) and the road being built (almost)
