Glad you lads had the foresight to film these scenes, I imagine some people thought you were mad or sad but you've captured a part of recent history that most of us would never have seen otherwise. Well done!

@MICKTHEMERC You're very welcome, it was a sad to see all the locomotives being cut and we had some fond memories too, we worked on most of these locomotives

Really interesting and sad at the same time. Living in Rugby, there was always people who you knew who had a relative who worked on the railway in some capacity or another, during the 1970's and 80's. I wish Rugby celebrated its railway heritage a lot more than it does.

Well at least some bits were saved, I managed to purchase from Viv two flame cut number panels 45064 and 45123. Thanks for sharing the memories, and as someone lese has put I guess there will soon be a place cutting up the 43s etc.

Its sad to say but a large number of diesels needed to be scrapped because there aren't enough preserved railways to accommodate all of them and the costs of maintenance would be even higher and also the scrapped locos enable others to receive spare parts. I like all locomotives whether steam or diesel or electric and fortunate plenty of older locomotives are preserved

@CycolacFan Many thanks for the comments, surprisingly nobody made any comments at all, we travelled a few time to Vic Berrys and were made very welcome, it was only in the later days, when the idiots decided that they thought it was a play group, we included was stopped from going in, which is fair enough ! The video is only a clip from a 15 minute video I have. Also I have some other footage.

@36blackout - having you been smoking a funny ! lol, steam was around well before 1920 and 'blue era diesels were painted blue in the 1960's ( can't remember any in the 1950's) anyway can't understand whats that to do with Vic Berry Scrapyard

I used to walk past there in the 80's what a bloody mess, only a stones throw from Leicester City centre. Now it's housing I think. Look out for webbed feet and hairs on the palms of your hands.

@MK55A well i know that steam was around befor the 1920's of course and when i say br blue era i mean the deisels of the time such as the deltic and im saying that these diesels carrers were very short compared to steam such as the 7f built in 1916 (i think) and used til 1960
