Thank you so much posting these great films. I was born and raised in South Africa. I grew up around trains in the 1950's as my grandfather and father worked for SAR and also Rhodesia Railways. My grandfather was assistant Superintendent of the Natal division reporting to Mr J.D.White. My father was a coach builder in Durban and later in Bulawayo. You mention Soul of A Railway. I have spent so many hours going through this fabulous collection of photos. I am now in my mid 70's and live in North America. I so enjoy watching your films. Thanks! sincerely.

Did the Rumble’s Electrical Store building got demolished?

Even more great footage thanks ! I remember us kids 'Bunking' Guildford shed a few times, just go on to the station platform then under the bridge. It was easy to get in, we then just had to avoid the shed foreman. Guildford always had quite a few Q1 Austerity locos known as 'Charlies' on shed. Happy days !

Excellent colour footage ! Nice clean locomotives still with their number/name plates. Those were the days ! Thanks for uploading.

I know I did this line as a small child, but can't remember anything specific, except for the black locos that hauled us (probably BR 4MTs) being large and very scary when they whistled!

Although the track alignment doesn't exist anymore, after crossing Victoria Road the roads through the industrial estate and behind the retail park does follow the old railway route.

oh wow.what a memory.i was there on that day with the 1036 squadron.

As the line proceeded, close to where the B&Q now is, there's a road fittingly named Invincible road that follows the old alignment for a way

I remember invincible as a young boy , I also remember Rumbles the electrical shop ,I bought some floor joist when it was demolished for a garage I was building at my first house in Blackwater , The garage still stands today hopefully with those floor joists in the roof proper recycling 👍

Sweet!

Gosh I Love That Hancock 3 Chime Whistle. The Challenger Is The Finest Piece Of History Alive. ❤❤. Can’t Wait To See Her Again In Service Soon.

Amazing to see

Thank you for this, particularly the section on the Pietermaritzburg, Donnybrook, Franklin line, on which I worked as a fireman during my university vacations at the end of 1972 and 1973. Despite a few inaccuracies (coal and water were replenished many times along the route) it brings back many (very tough and hot!) memories.

Hi Karen, you & Dill are great! We have two Cockapoo pups, male littermates. Your videos have been invaluable to us. I return to them often. It was challenging in the beginning, but the pups are doing great. Thank you for helping me to feel confident grooming them. I’m enjoying your whole Cockapoo series, thank you!

And know the ANC communist party did steal everything that whas in good condition before 1994 because they don't appreciate it.

Santa Fe locomotive 2926 is now back in operation again after a rebuilding process of 20+ years and this engine is a spectacular sight to see in action. Hopefully in 2024 ATSF engine 2926 will be able to start hauling excursion trains across New Mexico and i am eager to see that footage when it finally occurs.

Her tail never stops wagging 😊

Just great!!

Hi, I’m just starting on my cockapoo journey, I’ve found your videos very useful indeed so a big thank you for that. Where do you get your cleaning products from

How old is Dill at this point?

VW K 70

Wow, how technology has changed☺️

The Bridal Centre is closed, at least last time I checked. But I had not realised that the Invincible Locomotive is at the Watercress Line. I have seen the locomotive at that line but didn’t know it was the same one till now. Weeds have also covered the rails, unless of course work has been done as of late.

An Ivatt class 4 2-6-0 on Guildford shed! Was she en route back to the Midland from a visit to Eastleigh Works? My old eyes weren't able to see her number. I went on this line very many years ago and remember M7s being used. I also visited Guildford shed and recall a couple of stored G6s in it and a T9 in steam outside. 1:37 1:37

I love your videos so much! Thank you.

What caused the post war fuel/coal shortage? Lack of investment capital? Empty mines?

Growing up in the States I heard later on in life what it was like in post-war Briton. Tough times after a World War.

Was this captured on VHS grandpa
