Hi Mike, Great video. I remember that day with the rugby specials, I was working a FGW HST rugby special. I remember sitting down Brickyard sidings in Cardiff and there was 3 of us, me on the up relief 2, another HST on the up relief, a 3rd on the up main, all sat in a row waiting for platforms. Then there was all those specials in your video, coming and going. It was like a diesel gala. I had a great time. Cheers, Rich

More to come soon. I also have so many VHS 3hr tapes to convert; which to choose first? thanks for watching

Great video. Fragonset class 31 really is a blast from the past

[@nigelcarter9503]

Blast from the past, Mike. Thow Newport Station has changed. I remember the car park. I did not realise the 67 was that old. Perhaps I am showing my age! Great shots of 37's and the 31. Timeless.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Thanks; have you seen my video of the 67 deliveries at Newport Docks..............I was there too

[@neilcrawford8303]

Wow. The yard is now a car park. There's a x@#%$, ☆#@*¥₩g surprise! Last time I visited there, some newly landed class 66 passed through the station. As with the other comment, I never realised 67s went back that far. Great video.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

67s were built 1999-2000. I have the deliveries at Newport on my YT page

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

absolutely superb Mike.Wish we still had loco hauled trains, so much more interesting than the high speed 'jet propelled ' space age crap. great compilation

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

How far back do your videos go?.......................it's just takes time to re-edit...........Regards Mike

[@hojomo]

Thanks Mike - good to see the Yard of Yesteryear! 😉

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

More to come soon

2:04 what is that, class 31 but never seen that livery before, looks like some fancy grand central livery lol

[@LondonEmergency999]

Fragonset.

[@LondonEmergency999]

Is it just me, or does that uneven wiper movement on the 67s look really irritating for the driver...

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

For a newer loco, I agree. Maybe they need a better screen wash
