I remember the early 60s as school kids walking around in organised groups, but no H&S, just lovely steam and diesel locos and wonderful smells. I don't recall anyone not returning from those wonderful adventures.

Lovely video sir, complemented a bottle of Shiraz very nicely. Thank you.

They seem to have no real use for 59003 as its like having Samson to carry Grans shopping bag.

[@JACKYBOY281]

[@ehg319]

where did you go to film these? (yes i know eastleigh) but where exactly, i would like to see more VP185s

[@swearingkevo]

Just down the road. Turn left out of station and a 5 min walk

[@ehg319]

@@swearingkevo thanks so much!

[@calvingrondahl1011]

I like that Maritime blue. 66727

[@gledhir]

That must have taken most of the day. Apart from anything else that is a lot of walking to film from all those vantage points :)

[@goldstraw360]

Who the hell did that 'Railfreight' decal on the 73 at 2.10? Looks like it was done with a kid's stencilling kit in Times New Roman!

[@davideddy5877]

I think the Colasfreight colour scheme is just the ugliest around. Same kid was the design consultant. Grand Central is the best, I think.

[@goldstraw360]

@@davideddy5877 The thing is, that GBRf loco isn't even an official job by the look of it. Not the right font. I must admit I don't mind the Colas livery too much (though I think we're not getting a bit samey with the new Freightliner look - I preferred the original sea green). I agree with you, though, Grand Central is probably my favourite livery right now.

[@davideddy5877]

Is the Maritime company just anopther freight hauling group please?

[@evanross7995]

It's a promotional livery on a GBRf loco for a contract they have with maritime intermodal. The same livery is on 5 DB Cargo 66s as well, as they were the previous operators of the contract.
