Couldn't agree more Mike, not just the locos but look at the commodities being moved around by rail back then .Thanks for watching mate, Colin.

That was remarkable Colin! What a place to film! So busy at Motherwell and yard, never a dull moment, 37 and 60 heaven, a great study of Transrail operations inc a wonderful shot of 90129 'Frachtverbindungen,' now that was really special as i recently acquired the Bachmann model of it and its the first time ive ever seen any footage if it! A really enjoyable look back to these memorable times, thank you for sharing with us, have a great weekend cheers Nick.

Excellent footage Colin, brings back memories. I remember cycling up to Motherwell when i was about 13 in the 80s. My mate and i walked into the mess room and asked if we could have a look about the depot. One of ghe guys finished his tea and gave us a tour for a couple of hours.

[@colingarwood9971]

Thanks for watching Craig and i'm glad you enjoyed the memories. I think the guys at the depots back then were a lot more willing to show you around their workplace, and i think they did it with a certain amount of pride in the job, wouldn't you agree ? Ofcoarse that was all before Health & Safety went mad. Have a great week and keep watching for more from my archive, regards, Colin.

[@CraigMacfarlane-r3m]

@colingarwood9971 Totally agreed, the world was a better place then 👍

Don't think I've seen shots from ML depot before on KZbin. Absolutely superb though. I bet you wish it was still like this today as you would be there all the time.

[@colingarwood9971]

😀😀You're not wrong there Ben, providing the traction was still the same as back then 👍Thanks for watching mate, it's always appreciated, Colin.
