History Made As Steam Train Passes Through Hamworthy, Poole, Dorset, UK

[GeorgeUKCFC]

The last three railtours I've seen at Winchester have all been hauled by Tangmere.

The 47 was there as the Swanage turntable is too short to allow a 'WC' to turn on it.. It hauled the train on the return journey, leaving Tangmere at Swanage returning tender-first to turn at Eastleigh

Marvellous to see the old beauty still running! Reminds me of my childhood in East Africa, going on 48 hour journeys on the narrow-gauge line from Dar es Salaam to Mwanza, hauled by British-made locomotives.

Great vid' why oh why do they always demean the loco's by putting that load of c&4p on the end of the rake? I would think that Tangmere has /had been more reliable in its life then that piece of junk.

You could try covering your camera mic with a piece old sock or a hankerchief to cut down on the wind noise. Good shot otherwise.

I have some interesting video footage of Hamworthy railway station with an electric unit passing through such as you have never seen before. IT appears halfway through my photo montage. You can find it at "headstandking anthology 4" if you are interested.

I do like your video - a real historical event.

... Just in case of breakdown, I suppose. Or health and safety :-)

[gary1234scott]

the 47 on the back is for two reasons electric train heat/power and incase of brake down

[stashyjon]

[djburland]

Great shot, shame about the diesel on the back!

Indeed, thanks for your comment on the Hamworthy steam train event.
