Inside Crewe Diesel in 1993

Two seperate videos spliced together at Crewe DMD in 1993 and around 1995 sees various loco classes undergoing regular maintenance in the fantastic facilities, including classes 31, 37 and 47, with many of the loco's featured still running today, although probably better maintained and looked after now. Locomotive services LTD now look after this site and have rebuilt the shed to its former heyday after being used as a storage location. Which is everyone's favourite loco out of these?

Thanks for the memories of going to see my dad at work..

Thanks for sharing this changing scene with us. I was a R E S driver at Crewe so it was nice to see all the red locos lined up, I had many a good trip on the Crewe-Cardiff postil's with the 47's, did many royal trains also with them it was sorry to see them replaced with the 67's. I am now working with L S L on the steam but the deisel depot is a lot cleaner now than when in the previous ownership.

very interesting seeing internals as well as outsides of the locos.

47's and 37's are always in my heart. I think due to growing up opposite a railway line, I specifically remember seeing a lot of Class 47's as a toddler.

[@MrThrash37]

Personally you can’t beat a Class 37!

[@stephensmith4480]

That brings back some memories. I did my Multi and Tandem training there in 1990. Happy days.😁

Super filming of diesel, plenty of 47's there. Mine has to be 37's all day long!. Thanks.

[@antman09ful1]

As you said Tom a bit like my footage which your dad must of filmed. Great quality and pleased you got it sorted.

[@MrThrash37]

antman09ful1 almost identical! There wasn’t too much of an issue I am just looking to increase the quality of my videos and I’m still on the search for some software that will hopefully be a bit more engaging!

[@andrewsewell9179]

Wonderful memories wonderful days 😊

[@MrThrash37]

Thanks for taking the time to watch Andrew.

[@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf]

LSL own the site now, not just look after it. I'm glad to. Place has changed for the better. Great video of my old workplace.

[@MrThrash37]

Yeah that’s a fair comment, it’s nice to see how high class they are doing their work.

[@westcoastmodels]

Fantastic footage. However I would hazard a guess of this being circa 1995, especially with the RES 47/7s pre RCH jumpers also BRT class 20s and Waterman 47710 etc.

[@MrThrash37]

Anthony Sutton thanks Anthony there are two videos spliced together so you’re probably right. The first is 93’ with the blue diesels!

[@westcoastmodels]

@@MrThrash37 Ahhh I got you now. Apologies. Still a fantastic watch.
