TEESSIDE LOCOS

[@stevezodiac491]

35 years of my life spent there from The training centre as a technician trainee, Newport Training Centre, SBCO and byproducts plant, Cleveland Works ( Clay Lane and Bessemer), Oil installation on the Tees, Lackenby Mills, BOS Plant and All Redcar Works, even seconded for a year or so to Hartlepool South Works. All gone now but for the memories and my pension !

Thanks for sharing your memories of this industrial railway and the traction that worked upon it, from someone who is a Shunter/Driver at one of the MoD Railway depots

Nice video, mate. Love the GEC shunters. We have two of them in Port Talbot Steelworks in South Wales. Along with a few Bagnall shunters from 1954 and 55 respectively (one 0-4-0 and two that are bo-bo), plus a Hunslet Barclay shunter from 1993 and 4 trojan shunters. As well as a mix of Class 60 and 66 diesels, plus a tamper machine.

Marvellous. Truly Marvellous. What an industry we have lost. I always live in hope for a reprive.

[@phill1709]

These class of loco are also used at Llanwern steel works in south walesThey are numbered DE1 - DE5 They are stephenson diesel electric, made at the vulcan works, Newton le willows in 1972. I know this because i drive them :-)

[@ThompsonUK2]

Miss working down there :) shame someone won't come in and buy it up.

[@andrewwww7684]

I bet, driving these little shunters was a real good earner when moving the torpedoes about.

[@redcarmodels]

Something I've always wanted to do, capture the rail network on Redcar works. Nice One!

[@TheHeavyload]

Nice video. Hope to see video of Norwegian locomotives as well, when in operation. Possibly with new colors too.

[@okotokspaul]

great video well worth watching

[@tpvalley]

@TheHeavyload I think I may have seen one of ur videos after I asked the question! Funny looking things!

[@DictatoroftheCake]

COuld you please tell me the name of the first song you used? I really like it. Cool trains by the way and great vid.

[@paprna]

Amazing!

[@88pablo18]

Such a crime to let it close! Worked there as a contractor on projects etc. Many times. You don't grasp the scale of the place until you have to drive from one end to the other on the site roads. Or how big the rail infrastructure was, for both site locomotives and mainline freight.

[@TheHeavyload]

@tpvalley SSI Lackenby steel works has bought 10 locos class Di8 from Norwegian CargoNet.I've seen pictures from the steel mill and locomotives already in service. Take a look at two of my videos, that show transit through Norway.

[@thomasawl]

Some of them are still there. I hope they arnet scrapped.

[@tpvalley]

@TheHeavyload I saw a couple of videos, don't know if they were yours or not.

[@tpvalley]

wonder what engines they have?

[@tpvalley]

@RailwaySeriesKB GEC stephenson locos with dorman 12qt engine I just found out.

[@tpvalley]

@TheHeavyload norwegian locos?

[@okotokspaul]

Is there anywhere public where you can see loco's working??? Interested in the ex Norwegian Di8's
