Vintage railway film - The stone carriers - 1982

[@ChangesOneTim]

Even into the 1980s, commentary was straight-talking and simple to understand: what a contrast to today's spun corporate-speak that often leaves you wondering if you've actually learned much.

[@thedave7760]

There is loads of spin in this as well. "after a pollution free journey" yeah not so much. Great film though especially for a corporate really well made better than any corporate since. IMHO Edit: This whole film is a masterpiece in any genre these guys knew what they were doing just superb.

I still cant get my head round how those castles and cathedrals were built by hand without construction machines or modern scaffolding and building techniques so long ago. Amazing really.

[@Jack-tx2ve]

They usually put alot of time into it.

[@beaufighter245]

@@Jack-tx2ve they certainly did but it is not just that. The skill, no power tools, no CAD, limited knowledge of material stress limits. The resulting cathedrals for example are nothing short of amazing.

They used rope hoists and timber tripods and the abuse of the peasants muscles and joints, vicious hard on them peasants, imagine the strains and injuries to fingers,hands etc!!!

[@jackking5567]

I enjoyed that! Remember folks: The railways of the UK were formed with one goal in mind - the movement of coal from mine to market.

absolutley golden footage especially for railway modelers

[@kevinheard8364]

great videos; and I appreciate your channel.

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

7:37 well theres something we never see here in the states with our dredges....a pair of dragline buckets that empty the dredged material onto the self unloading conveyor belt! thats rather interesting!

[@beeble2003]

Never seen that before in the UK, either. Not that I'm any kind of expert on dredgers, but I do know that most self-unloading cargo ships don't work that way.

[@gs425]

The sound man had a great time working on this film !!! Lol

[@tilerman]

Exactly what i was thinking and he done a great job!

[@joelharris1335]

Since the film was shot, Foster Yeoman ordered the class 59 locomotives from General Motors in the USA, followed by ARC.

[@ianjones4116]

Rather see a Peak or a Brush 47, or even a pair of 25s or 33s, than a bloody class 59 or a boring Shed. 👍😎

[@joelharris1335]

Considering the class 59's were privately owned by both Yeoman and ARC.

[@russellgxy2905]

One could argue Foster Yeoman would've turned to EMD eventually, given the SW1001 switcher they already had! Was shocked to see the boxy little (by US standards lol) thing in a BTF film!

[@AndreiTupolev]

One of the freight sectors that's still booming. Impressive drone photography of Stonehenge at the start, long before drones were thought of. Must have used a helicopter. That's an impressive gimbal mounting.

[@thedave7760]

That aerial shot at 9 minutes is pure gold hats off to the pilot and Cameraman they only got one take to do that and they totally nailed it, just perfect.

[@bendingspring]

@@thedave7760 Agreed! Great work. The sheep at 9.42 weren’t too happy with it though.

Superb Video has aged well, worth watching the still current Priors Sea Dredge Gravel Deliveries from The River Colne in Essex , using motor barges which sail down essex coast and the Thames to Deptford Creek.. There are videos on KZbin of the Ballastman making the journey

[@jkirk3043]

A "pollution-free journey by rail"...... well, apart from that 2700hp diesel loco at the front chucking out exhaust all the way!!! 🤣. I'm only commenting on that statement, by the way; I'm 100% behind all freight going by rail, not by road!!! And I still love diesel locomotives!

[@beeble2003]

Yes, low pollution but by no means pollution-free.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Compare that with how many truckloads (with about 25 tonne maximum payload each) it would take to haul, say, a 2000 tonne load

[@beeble2003]

@@AndreiTupolev Yes, we all know that. The point is that the video claims that rail transport is "pollution-free", which is simply false.

[@cedarcam]

That line cracked me up Agreed rail does make far less pollution than road over all but certainly not pollution free kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mreKefl7qAecU

Lots of PGA wagons on show, very few left (if any) in service today.

They were the worst wagon I’ve ever known… thankfully I think they’ve all been cut up now … we still regularly used 2 sets up till 2019

[@StaxRail]

Think its an SW1200, still works there

[@beeble2003]

@@StaxRail The internet seems pretty convinced that it's an SW1001. I assume it's still running. I found a photo of it working in 2016 and haven't found anyone claiming that it's out of service. Hanson also have an SW1001.

I wanted to know why don’t they dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so they extend the unused abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and remix and make them all together and also redesign them overhead line and also make them into 5 cars per unit and also having 2 Disabled Toilets on those 5 cars per unit A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into a 11 car per unit so it could have less doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more bigger and extend it to bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into an High Speed train. The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 8 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbish 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train stations in Chingford and could they extend the DLR. All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel five carriages to disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extend doing roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram and unique small no.13 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 16 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so Please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!!

Hilarious to see a film from the era when government tried to plan everything and make opening a aggregate depot as complicated as putting a man on the moon. It's a yard with tipping facilities - that's all. Comments like "pollution free journey" to describe the rail leg of the journey behind diesel engines is one of many small untruths dropped in to propaganda films like this. Shortly after this flatulent, complacent film was made, Foster Yeoman purchased its own engines and equipment from overseas, realising British Rail was fat, lazy and fundamentally incompetent. Good decision.
