More great footage! I was up there just a few weeks before your visit in July and also earlier in September. Great memories of the Class 37 loco hauled renaissance between 1992 and 1994.

Happy memories indeed of the era.....many thanks and my best wishes...Mark

The driver in the first clip is still working at Perth depot and he’s loving seeing this ! Towards the end a 318 departs with toots on the horn and that’s a rather famous ROG driver now. Fantastic selection as always, I’m slightly more biased towards the Scottish videos on this channel but I still enjoy all of them ! 😊

[@spompey]

Many thanks for that Roy...I don't know if I ever worked with him....Glad you enjoy the material and you are most appreciated.....give my regards to yourself and those drivers....Mark

[@RoyTheMouth]

@@spompey did you work at Perth Depot ? Gary Straiton is the man in the first shot, he drove my HST yesterday !

[@spompey]

@@RoyTheMouth Yes I was at Perth from 1979 until 1982 when I transferred onto the Southern. I do not recall the name but I met so many railmen/women My best regards to all Roy and give all those drivers my best wishes too....Mark

Hi There Again my real Name is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of us Class 307 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 307s maybe you guys can convert them and including the refurbishment into those Leyland 680 engines, Volvo B10M Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Gardner 6LXC Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 307’s and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages Class 307’s for most of us Diesel Train Fans out there PLEASE. Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project for everyone out there PLEASE?

Love the IC-painted 37s

[@spompey]

I think that that livery suited the 37s best....many thanks and best wishes...Mark

[@N330AA]

All the liveries were great back then - they kind of all complemented each other rather than the random hodge-podge you get today. I think blue big logo looked very good on the 37 too@@spompey

[@spompey]

@@N330AA Agree and many thanks....Mark

[@williammcavoywilliammcavoy]

[@djtrainspotter]

Interesting as 20028 + 20055 had only just been moved here from store at Crewe the day before.

[@spompey]

I did not know that. There was however a good line up of 20s in the yard which stupidly I never looked to see what ones they were, perhaps I was pushed for time. Many thanks for the info DJ, it is much appreciated and my sincere wishes to you.....Mark
