Rail Enthusiasts dream! Class 50s on the sea wall, brings back memories of my holidays down there! allso took pics and sound recordings of 50s at Liskeard too! Happy day's & thank you for sharing. 😎

[@kartwheelkarl]

You’re very welcome James, and thank you for the brilliant comment. Glad to be able to bring back such happy memories.

It's appropriate that a loco with the name AJAX looks nice and clean.

[@kartwheelkarl]

Excellent Geoff. Mid you, looking at your user symbol, I’d have thought you’d prefer the loco to be painted white with a vertical red stripe down the middle!

[@timwattison4419]

Ajax !!!! My first 50 for haulage, and my favourite Hoover. 😫

[@kartwheelkarl]

It shows how special the fifties were doesn’t it Tim? We all remember our first!!! Mine was 50013, from Basingstoke to Waterloo. I also travelled behind 50047 on the same day. At the time, both were a little bit more special because they’d been refurbished bu turned out in plain blue, not large logo.

What happy days; a nice summer evening watching a parade of Hoovers!

[@kartwheelkarl]

Just sit me in a beer garden with a pint of decent ale and a view of the railway line Andrei. Oh no, now I’m getting homesick and nostalgic at he same time! But such happy memories eh?

[@robc9845]

50s everywhere,fantastic.,

[@kartwheelkarl]

Absolutely. Hitachis everywhere just doesn’t have the same ring to it does it Rob?

[@robc9845]

Kartwheelkarl Trains, Railway and Travel Videos not at all.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

that's excellent this is where the class 50 locos dominate the line

[@kartwheelkarl]

And now the Hitachis have taken over! I’ m a long way away now but I don’t think I’ll be rushing back to see them!

[@robd2184]

Nice video. Lots of 50s in those days !

[@kartwheelkarl]

Absolutely Rob. Really glad you’re enjoying the collection.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

some of the 50s are still here including the mainline ones of 50050 fearless and 50049 and 50007

[@LadOfTheNight]

Gold.

[@kartwheelkarl]

Thanks LotN. Really glad you’re enjoying the collection.

[@ChaysVideoVault]

Fantastic! Used to spend much of my childhood in Dawlish

[@kartwheelkarl]

You lucky thing Chay. For us Manchester based kids in the 1980s, Dawlish seemed like a far away and exotic place. Managed to ride a Merrymaker excursion to Paignton one day in 1983. Great memories.

[@Georgeasaurus2001]

As Rob says it is really surprising how few 47's there are here, unless he turned the camera off when they showed up lol

[@kartwheelkarl]

That could very well be a possibility George. I get the feeling that Alan shared my own passion for the 50s!

[@hughrainbird43]

Perhaps they were away being repainted in sector & Intercity liveries!

[@jefflloyd7308]

Is you on the road bridge to Sheldon at the stàrt ?
