BR Southern region steam in 1966

8mm cine film shot by me over a period of 1 week in June 1966 ( film which I also took on the isle of Wight is contained in another video on my channel).
Locations include Waterloo , Guildford , Eastleigh , Winchester , Southampton , Wareham and the Swanage branch , Weymouth bank , Brockenhurst and the Lymington branch , and Bournmouth.
The video has an authentic soundtrack much of which was recorded at the time of filming.

Some great shots around Lyndhurst Rd at 9mins too, now Ashurst New Forest campsite. Thanks.

I'm really blown away by the amount and quality of film footage you have. It's such an amazing archive of everyday railway operation the very year before I was born. I love watching it. Thanks 🙏

Thank you. I still miss them all, even now

Wonderful footage! I remember the Pacifics arriving under the soot stained overall roof at Waterloo, and letting off steam. This brings it all back!

Excellent footage of 34101 Hartland (now preserved at the NYMR) and the now preserved Swanage Railway.

Really excellently shot footage. Thank you. I grew up in Plymouth amongst SR steam 62-65. Fond memories & in the preservation era maintained & worked engines on the Swanage branch with a lot of ex Bournemouth & West Country footplatemen. Happy days. 😃

Amazing filming and you have matched the sounds very well. I have fond memories of holidays in Fleet in 1961/2 spending most of my days on the platforms.
