Amazing footage, particularly the Wimbledon branch 6:09. I grew up in Dorking so Wimbledon was always SUCH an exciting station when i was a kid, where it changed form 4SUB/4EPB to 4VEP/CIG/BEP + Diesel hauled trains AND then all the Underground Red or White R stock. And of course going past the huge depot too. This is priceless, with film inside as well. Those wooden slatted floors with cigarette butts wedged in them are a strong memory! Gotta love a bit of snow-induced arcing too! 53:34!!!

Hello there! So I came accross this video and I think this is a brilliant tutorial! I'm doing a very similar instalation for my P Class, Leo and while I wish the glow could work in both directions, I think forwards is more important than backwards for the effect. Because of how small the P Class is and how mine is repainted into my OC, I don't think I'll do more than just drill a hole in the fire box, especially since I do want to fit crew in Leo's cab. Anyway, great video and I will definetly link to this when I showcase Leo the P Class! If it comes out successfully, I'll be doing this to more of my models in the near future!

Every time i rediscover this tragedy, i find a different theory. I would say it had to be some form of medical emergency, coupled with the fact that the guard wasn't in his rear cab to apply the emergency brakes? I also find it odd that 1938 (pre ww2) rolling stock was still being used in 1975. But i suppose that isn't too unusual as we currently still have 1973 rolling stock in operation today. Very sad for all involved and one wonders what happened to the guard, who was young at the time, plus Mr Newsons family etc.

@@wesstarmedia three factors , Les most likely suffered from a form of epilepsy seizure , number two , the terminal train protection that was patent applied for in 1940 for moorgate was installed AFTER the collision. Number three . The six car train formed of 1938 tube stock was off the record unfit for mainline Use and was transferred by mistake from Neasden where it was due to be scrapped because of defects , ended up at Drayton park . Both Neasden and Drayton park depot log books mysteriously vanished and after the crash LT wiped all data about each previous car off of the system . Bob Harris got off of manslaughter as did LT management, the Newsons were never left in peace by the media afterwards and many who viewed the driver as the cause , as an experienced railwayman of over twenty years my sole conclusion is that if the terminal protection had been installed with the design agreed in 1940 for moorgate , the passengers and driver would of walked away off of train 272 that morning . Yet LT KNEW what would happened , the clean up crew from LT cleaned the site quickly with a fine tooth comb and the remains buried to this day at watford tip near croxley green .

@Richardsrailway fascinating and sad stuff. Much easier for a cover-up in those days, sadly. Without any further evidence, which wouldn't happen after all of these years anyway. One would have to keep an open mind about the incident. I find suicide an unlikely possibility with the money on him and his behaviour with colleagues that morning, etc.

Except over some points where it will derail but only with the tender attached. Take the tender off and it's fine. Anyone got any ideas why this happens.

The fall plate between the loco and tender are pretty close , but designed obviously to negotiate Hornby and most OO guage point work , what you could do as a worst case scenario would be to take a flat file and gently remove a very small amount of surface material from side that is giving the trouble , however , have you checked the back to back on all of the rear tender wheels ?

Also just outside the locomen’s entrance wax a small cafe near to the Brookland Arms pub.
