It's great to see HD footage from you Mike, and despite all the issues, an excellent upload of this special event...Bob

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

Very nice footage Mike,thanks for posting. Regards Brian

[@s1914]

Good vid 👍, what’s that boarded up hotel on the left there?

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

If only I had my video camera in those days..................thanks for watching my memories............Mike

[@Tommy-ri1lo]

I wish the window wipers would work in unison, its really bugging me!

[@DugmerJunction]

Was 17 actually working? looks like 7 was doing all the work, no clag from 17 even when leadin

[@formidable38]

Looks like number 7 will need some power unit work at some stage.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Insurance, incase 1 of them failed. Network Rail charges are so high when their lines are blocked by private locos

[@antonysmith9173]

Great shots of those hoovers and shame failed grid. Toot from driver wouldn't hurt either.

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

rare footage very well captured

[@EMuksteam]

Brilliant video Mike to capture these 3 diesels in such terrible weather..People walking in front of the camera is a hazard you can get on stations. That's a fact of life which we have to get use to. C&A

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

The trouble is it's always the same guy !!

[@chris-io1ki]

Mike... How far back can you go with film footage of Cardiff and did you ever film outside in the bus station? Would love to see footage of the Iron Ore trains with triple 37s and class 25s on Cardiff-Crewe trains. I lived in Cardiff up until early 1989 and remember very well how good it used to be for freight and passenger trains. Ahhh...those C3s on the valley lines as well as Selwyn the sheep! Loved the class 33 invasion as well but hated 155s with a passion! Keep up the good work mate. memories galore.😁

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

I lived in Cardiff 76-86 and returned to the area when I worked in Swansea from 96/98 when I retired.My Welsh tapes are 3 hours on vhs so still taking time to check them all I'm sure I have some as you request, but is making the time to check...................keep looking or email me [e-mail]

[@chris-io1ki]

talking of the abysmal 155s, i recall a load of Inverness 156s on loan to Cardiff Canton when they had to withdraw the entire 155 fleet! We have them to thank the return of 37s on Cardiff-Manchester/Liverpool services via the marches line! Loved the Old DMU variety back in the day as well. Cardiff really was a Mecca of railway entertainment those days😁 Looking forward to more archive footage when you get the chance mate. Cheers Mike👍

[@b.r.buckeyeman460]

At Penzance as a shunter,would use these 50s every day,great times.

[@SteamboatWilley]

What's that beeping at 2:30?

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

SteamboatWilley Engineering work being carried out on platforms 6/7. Motorised diggers reversing on the ballast ! OK hope that helps........................Mike in Cardiff.

[@williamradford8817]

Class 57's, Royal Oak and Hercules collecting broken down "Colas rail" class 56

[@s1914]

Nice, must be some weight behind that 60!

[@STEVEHARLEY1956]

Great video Mike with your new X920...Excellento !! I have had problems with other, mainly photographers in the past whilst filming on the L&BR in North Devon. Some people have no consideration for anyone else...as long as they get what they want ! This Guy you said has done it before...i personally would have a little 'chat' with him...i just hope he hasn't got a YT Channel....i rest my case........Best wishes....Steve.

[@K-o-R]

I always see the 50s as looking like Hank Hill saying "hwat?"

[@pepperthekobold]

UUUUrgh, those window wipers being out of sync do bad things to me. Hahahaha

[@stuartwright7829]

got to be a pair could not trust one on its own.

[@ianmickiewicz6017]

unusual, Mike !! -👍👍-Ian

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

I'm fortunate to still receive tip-offs from friends in the know, so I can be there. Thanks for your comments

[@MervynPartin]

Nice catch- I always liked the Network South East livery, and it looks particularly good on a "Hoover". As for the idiot walking in front of you, I've had my share of them, including one occasion in the open countryside where one put his tripod legs beneath mine!! I'm now tempted to film them directly and then publish to KZbin.

[@benconway9010]

There's no way you would get a 66 on steel train that long 60s are way superior than the 66

[@anthonymoralee454]

Disgusting amount of polluting blue smoke. Surely this just poor maintenance?

[@chris-io1ki]

ANTHONY MORALEE we love clag😁 Another Top video Mike👍

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

These locos are very expensive to run and maintain, that's why very few run on the mainline

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Thanks for watching again; still more old tape to follow
