British Rail Network SouthEast 1991-Exeter St Davids with Class 33, 47 & 50 Locomotives

It's January 1991 and i'm in Devon, at Exeter St David's. We see the action late afternoon with plenty of class 50's on NSE Waterloo-Exeter workings plus 50 008 & 50 036 on engineers train workings, along with a class 33/1 and a 47 on an Inter-City working. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

Nice one sir, ooof January, hardcore spottin! I saw ye olde 47832 'Tamar' ex 47560 off OC a zillion times, only got a snap of her during my last ever visit to Exeter 2002! And the splendid 50043 'Eagle', the only 50 i modelled in 90's, i think i left that one round her house to play with and re-live old times :D

47832 Tamar, named in 1982. Appears on my layout!

Great footage, thanks! Class 50s burning more oil than a thrashed Mk2 Cortina, those were the days!

The gradient from St David's to Central is captured here. A day trip from London by NSE Class 50 ! Mega mileage in those days chasing locos.

Class 50 - less of a Hoover, more of a Clagmaster! (Soi - do you have a video of a Class 50 actually sounding like a Hoover? Apparently they lost the sound post 1984 after a refurb...)

[@nelson408.]

They were pretty run down by that point. The fitters at Laira performed miracles to keep them running for as long as they did.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

By the time i got a vid cam in 1985 they had all been through refurb and the Hoover equipment had been removed.....
