Newport and Cardiff Stations 1990. Class 37 in excess!

[@neilbolger2679]

Great footage . If this is mostly 1 or over a handful of days its great to see these old loco's working like this . Excellent footage

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Thanks for your support. I've kept all my original tapes and now I have a newer VHS player they look so good; even though I say it myself!

[@neilbolger2679]

@@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways I enjoyed your old school videoing as it was truly grand . Went really well with these loco's. To me as an old school , it was brilliant . Thanks for sharing your video , I'll enjoy watching more

I'm in the process of editing my 3 hr VHS tape no.105 ! 20+ years ago I never thought I would be able to share my images with so many ( this 1 over 6500) Thanks again

@@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways so welcome. Lot of fans of rail out that I'm sure will enjoy the vid . Keep up the good work for keeping the dream of this enthusiasm alive

Those 37s were big, powerful beasts🚂

Great, Mike...v good times indeed! - Ian👍👍

Awesome vid. The 1990 stuff starts at 6 minutes, my era! All them goodies at Canton! Done an all-nighter on the footbridge in '94, staff were great! Cheers for sharing this, great memories thanks.

This era was probably the pinnacle of Freight working across South Wales Mike...Happy days.

Such great days Mike.

Nice seeing the Canton class 60 fitter/driver training loco, 004 first time I saw a 60 we were trundling round the Barry line on t&t 37s on I think a Barry open day comm. tour I think went to Fishguard

[@Georgeasaurus2001]

Were you at Newport the day 47702 went through on a rake of Sea lion ballast wagons with one slightly open with ballast flying in all directions, did an emergency stop with ballast still coming out of the wagon of course, then the p way had to attend with shovels to get it shifted, it was around this era

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

No, missed that one. Information wasn't so available then: no mobile phones 28 years ago!

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

My word Mike. How things have changed. Stuff here that I've never seen. Good on ya.

[@jasonl5967]

strange working there of 37114 at 0:59 pulling along those 4 'old coaches', 3 water tanks and 37023 taking up the rear.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

That's the "Railhead Treatment Train " which still runs today all over the UK, usually hauled by 66s now

[@dgattenb]

happy times... the foot bridge of love ... as long as you were told told off :)

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Quite a few of us were well known as enthusiasts, so there were no problems with access to the bridge

[@Georgeasaurus2001]

Never had any problems on that bridge as long as you behaved and didn't go down the steps depot side all was well

[@BrianSeaman]

Goodness me Mike - thank goodness you had a camera to capture all this. I wish I'd had the opportunity / foresight to produce something along the lines of your film!

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

I still have 100s of hours on VHS I need to transfer. I started in 1983 with hiring a camera from Rediffusion for £50 for 3 days

[@BrianSeaman]

Goodness me - that was a serious investment! But judging by the outcome - well worth it :)

[@vxrdrummer]

Hornby released 43016 in the GWR livery. It looks much better like it does here in the Swallow livery!

[@jasonl5967]

Mike have you got any footage of the freight trains that ran along to the Ebbw Vale Steel works and back, there is not much footage available of that route before the reinstatement of the passenger services

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

sorry for the delay; I'm still going through my hours of clips from 20+ years ago
