Nice vid mate! ;o)

[NapierNimbus]

Awesome mate - superb sound capture of the 86101 fans and transformer - just can't get enough of that sound - never heard that sound of the air system from a hauled dead 67 before - normally hear the air systems weasing and popping when loco shut down and stationary - clearly did not like being fed air from the can

[kenbrowne1947]

Great vid mate ta for sharing! Skip crackle and pop it goes ha ha. Somethng sounded a bit sick there, maybe the skip was about to "pop"! Good info on the coaches from one of the commentors. Cheers. Ken

[trainfart]

[HSTHoward]

[scottishrailways]

[scottm16]

Nice footage mate!

[scottishrailways]

@scottm16 cheers scott!

[AndreiTupolev]

So did the Skip bring it down from FW and the 86 take it on? Good to see they're making some use of the ex WSM locos anyway.

[CeTrains]

@AndreiTupolev Yes, that's what happened. The ex WSMR locos are still in daily use with Chilten Railways on their loco hauled services.

[scottishrailways]

@AndreiTupolev what  ce trains said:P

[BritishTrainVideos]

What Service used coaches branded ocean line express? Great Video!

[CeTrains]

@BritishTrainVideos I believe it was private cruise trains, much like the boat train that operates with DRS today.

[scottishrailways]

@CeTrains cheers cammy was wondering that myself

A rare old mix there - Mk3a, Mk2D/E/F and Mk1 catering.

[scottishrailways]

@w003394 good to know mate :) dont know much bout passeneger stock to be honest:P

[w0033944]

@scottishrailways Quite simple really. I don't know al of the detail differences, but essentially, if it has non-opening windows, boxed-in underframe and is loco-hauled, rather than part of an HST, it's a Mk3a, if it's the same, but with separate underframe boxes, it's an air-conditioned MK2 (d, e or f) - traditional windows with 4 toplights, it's an earlier Mk2 (z, a, b or c).

[DavidMichael182]

Superb stuff! Sounded great

[scottishrailways]

@DavidMichael182 cheers matey!:)

[Robotank07]

Nice video, but just to let you know they're Mk3s not Mk2s.

[realsteam123]

@Robotank07 Theres a MK1,MK2s and MK3s in the rake.

[Robotank07]

@realsteam123 True, but I was going with the majority.

[realsteam123]

@Robotank07 Ok

[scottishrailways]

@Robotank07 never been that good with knowing about what mk is what:P

[class180matt]

Wow, rare to see a 67 and an 86 together! :)

[scottishrailways]

@class180matt cheers matt:)

[drs47802]
