Class 45s (Peaks)in the York Area.1986-87.

[@DavidFennessy-yj7du]

Well….what would we do without the efforts of the person who took the trouble to video these engines, thank you, I remember these most charismatic machines with their great tumbling action of their engines at St Pancras and also Kings X , I was hauled by one these great Sulzers from Kings X to Leeds and back in 1972, I remember on the way back we were being checked a lot, memories of places like Retford and Doncaster and all the old steam engine tenders painted flat black outside Kings X commandeered for snow clearance duties, the ploughs themselves were painted black and yellow in diagonal patten, the big hand brake was another feature of them, they all had the big hand brake handles

LOved being taken back in time. Peaks were and still are my favorite BR Loco, seing them at work in these short clips shows me how much i miss them. Thanks very much for putting this on here.

[@prof.hectorholbrook4692]

Very good. A few actual examples there that hauled my MML commute trains to & from St.Albans 1977-80.

[@penybontshed]

Excellent collection, my favourite loco!

[@andyroo1889]

Great video and great loco' s. Stumbled on these quite by accident and brings back memories of summer holidays with back to back East Midlands and Yorkshire Ranger tickets

[@class45peak]

Thanks for another great video of these lovely locomotives .thank you.

[@RICKD790]

Great stuff Trevor, thank you for uploading. I never really liked the headlight in the middle of the headcode panels on the 45/1's, at least the 45/0's didn't have them. Agree with everybody else about missing them too.

I have a friend who lives on Grosvenor Terrace in York so I know the area quite well but I actually didn`t initially recognise the location at !:49 as I`d forgotten that the lineside was so free of vegetation back then.

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Cheers for that,Glad you Enjoyed,Trevor.''
