[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks for watching!

A great mix of trains and locales today, Leslie. I liked the 37 Citadel Station, but the 47s are cool, too. Of course, the 800 variations will be my faves! Cheers!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks Anthony. I'd intended more at the first location but it was a bit chilly as the bridge is exposed

[@stephenbrass1808]

Nice to see the snow ploughs, hope concrete bob is going to a good home, nice to see the Statesman on the north tyne line, a line i very been to, also the 807002 on test i saw this and thought it was a pendo and didnt film it . 🤔 cheers Steve .

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

I hope so too! Thanks for watching!

[@jameseldershaw7194]

Lovely mix as ever Les, loved the 47's and 37's with the ploughs.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks!

[@trainsontuesday]

Good mix Les. Glad to see Lady Diana Spencer still hard at work.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks! Still going strong

[@sydwoods.woodsendjunction9492]

Nice video Les some awesome zooming @ the D R S depot great footage from the bridge there and the 807s on test , im thinking in 5/6 yrs time all our passenger trains will be 8?? xxx down here at E M R we have 33 - 810 xxx on order for this year electric/ diesel mode , i cant see nottm being electrfied this side 2030 so if you dont like 800s there will only be freight worth looking at . Shame about concrete bob i bet someone will snap it up for this autumn RHTT .once again a superb video many thanks for sharing Les do take care stay safe a t b syd👌

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks Syd. I think someone will be looking for 37s

[@rxcko172]

amazing so glad you did some train spotting at kingmoor depot

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks!

[@cedarcam]

Lady Di did look to be burning a bit of oil there, not too serious though she sounded healthy enough. Nice blast from the 37's without them to inspect the line and clear the snow in future another thing we will miss in future. I wonder if the 66 will be as trustworthy for this kind of work as they almost always choose a 37 when the going is tough

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

DRS had a pair of 66s with ploughs at Kingmoor. I suppose the 37s took ploughs to do the Aberystwyth line where 37s seem to be the biggest locos.

[@mattwilson6552]

Yea, she's been smoking like that for a couple of years, she'll be fine.....

[@stephendavies6949]

Hi Les. Nice to see a 56 on the logs. Who's buying Concrete Bob? I remember those 158s being introduced. They were known as Turbostars, I think? Built at Derby, where I was living at the time. They were seen as the "Saviours of Litchurch Lane." It seems the works again needs a Messiah.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

No idea re Concrete Bob. The 158s were Ex]ress Sprinters. Turbostars, built at Derby, are Class 170s.

[@stephendavies6949]

@LeslieGilpinRailways Ah, thanks for putting me right. If I had the money & space I'd buy a 37!

[@lesdonaldson520]

37s could handle almost anything they will be a big miss. Another great mix Leslie

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks!

[@grandparails8858]

Another great video Les.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Glad you enjoyed it John

[@robdavies7173]

Top notch again!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

thanks!

[@Abnerbandanovotempoinscrito1mi]

Bom dia movimentação do trem limpa trilho show

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks!

[@michaeltaylor1869]

Nice video great camera work as usual

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stephendavies6949]

There's a good chance it will be a 37 that will hold the honour of being the last diesel certified for mainline running that was built whilst steam engines were still in service.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Yes but don't forget the 47s. Thanks for watching

[@stephendavies6949]

@LeslieGilpinRailways True, but right now I think there are more mainline certified 37s than 47s, even though there were far more 47s built.

[@AndreiTupolev]

A semaphore distant still in use is quite a rarity. That'd be a good shot to get with a diverted Azuma

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

I think I have already back in the summer when LNER diverted Edinburgh trains via Carlisle but will remember next time!

[@2010ditta]

Better not be its last run!! That would be a cool train to run on ones layout..2 37's with the ploughs. Good one Leslie, nice to see the 807 again.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Well for DRS apparently. Its in need of a good service as well as being for sale.
