Busy 20 minutes @ Cheltenham with 97301 Beastie thrash

[jedamotorsport]

Used to live 1 mile from Lansdown station,spent my early years trainspotting here,Peaks,Westerns,Warships,H­ymeks ect,drivers always let us do a cab going south,my father was a postman and used to tell us what was pulling the mail train when he was down there late at night,Can still hear the Westerns going across the gates at Alston Lane late in to the night when in bed,you never forget that sound.

My late uncle had loads of Cine 8 of steam and deisel through here,but alas I think it all binned

@jedamotorsport As a lad in the 70's I too remember seeing most of them through Lansdown, how I wish I had a video camera then. Re: your late uncles cine film, that would be such a shame, if they should be found do get them up on youtube and if you need any help give me a shout.

Great video, what time is the 60 due through normally?

[cyclopsfilm]

@Intercity47GBRail It's around 12:30 though can be as early as 11:00 it is usually looped north of the station for about an hour.

[Intercity47GBRail]

Ace video!  Really enjoyed watching this one. Thanks for putting it on for us all to enjoy. Track machine though? Blimey, that is scraping the barrel !

[cyclopsfilm]

Track machines are an important and under recorded part of the system, I alone intend to rectify that situation :-)
