Just a short Video to take you back to 1985 with memories of the BR open days. If you were at Coalville on 1st September you may be "Caught on Camera". Hope you enjoy watching.

Great vid. Watching those two Cromptons with people stood near by, Heath and Safety would have a fit now! Open Days from the 80's were great.

Thanks for the film Roy, proper open day. I guess there is nothing left now, all trace of the railway gone from this site.

That Shell wagon (TOPS Code PXV, number SUKO50000) at around the 1:50 mark is a training vehicle for staff handling LPG wagons.

There were a lot of specialist wagons on display there that day and subsequent open days. I know because I put them together and begged stole and borrowed from everywhere to get them ! We tried to make it as varied as possible of course back then we had the Speedlink network to rely on to get the vehicles from all over the country. You could not do it now.
