The world was a better place then . Beautiful railway with beautiful locomotives.

Wow that's some great footage thanks for sharing 👍

Outstanding quality from the time, so good to see this. I was on the final run, hanging out the opposite side at York, so great to see quality footage of it. Many thanks for posting!

Love it! What I would give to go back to the 80's!

Just liked and I was number 55!.. Used to love seeing the Deltics, absolute beasts!

Brings it all back. Wonderful carefree days as a young teenager spotting 'proper' locos. What a railway we had back in the days of BR. Great film, you can 'taste' the era, just how it was.

Looks like a shed sounds like a 🤔

Thanks for the comment Simon. 13 was possibly my favourite, used to see her everywhere, it was one of those locos that seemed to haunt you.

13 was the first one I ever saw. '79 at Sandy

The original footage is silent Super 8 cine film, the audio is the sound Super 8 cine projectors would make.

Love the video but I'm confused by the audio.

Thanks for watching. Drop any questions below. This was filmed by my late Dad Brian Booth and my elder brother David. I'm the 13 year old in 15's cab. Happy days.

really evocative of a bye gone age

Absolutely brilliant 👌🏻

thats soo curse lol i think the steam engine one are better

I attended that event on that particular day and to my dismay was thrown to the floor by a German tourist because I stood in front of him. He and his wife then ran away

Here’s one person who’s cheering the triumph of steam.

Unfortunately the 6 month old £400k diesel is in the back of the steam shed awaiting the rectification of issues with the power unit cooling system. Meanwhile the 100+ year old kettles steam on! DB.

Blarrgh kettles new diesel would be better
