The 1937 Coronation Scot record run
A Video of the 1937 Coronation Scot Record Run by 6220 Coronation
@JimTLonW6 Er yes, I can identify the locos, don't ask me how! It's Liverpool and Manchester "Lion" on the left and LNWR George the Fifth class "Coronation" in the middle. There was also a replica of "Rocket" present, this wasn't capable of running but was photographed at Crewe with 6220. I think...

@sammyb1929 I am so envious. I bet it wasn't the press trip, Ossie Nock and C J Allen claimed most of the crockery finished up on the floor on the approach to Crewe! Not a lot of "Health and Safety" in those days.....

@GGspark First there's 6220 being rolled out at Crewe, June 1937 - William Stanier is seen waving from the cab. There's also some film taken around the same time with the whole train. The W700 on the front of the loco is a reporting number for signalmen - this was the Euston-Crewe press trip on J...

cocaine - Davey Graham
Davey Graham's 'Cocaine' from Folk Blues and Beyond
This album is one of my most treasured possessions. I picked it up from a roadside stall forty years ago - for 50p/ten bob!
All my years in London & I never saw Davy live. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Citroen Dyane Start
Me starting up a totally original 1973 Citroen Dyane 6. With a little help from a booster pack!
64,000 miles in 37 years!
@RedRoosterRoad Errr, we got it up to about 70 in its young days. But not uphill. Especially not with 2 up.

Aha! Just found this Isaac! Looks good on an iPhone eh. Took him out yesterday, actually got the roof wet - no leaks! Sounds better than all the other Dyanes on YouTube. We still haven't swapped the tyres & wheels, Joy keeps saying she'll pay for them but no wonga has appeared yet.
May take him...

Railway with a Heart of Gold (1965)
This film is an account of the Talyllyn Railway, a historic narrow-gauge slate carrier in Tywyn, Wales
Absolutely wonderful. Made by Carson "Kit" Davidson. The Talyllyn did have the DVD of this available but I'm not sure if that's still the case.

@johnnyblack1974 - this is "A Queen Is Crowned", narrated by Laurence Olivier. It was a Technicolor film shown in most UK cinemas, not on TV.

@fallingblack - this is a Technicolor film of the Coronation which was shown in most UK cinemas in 1953. The B&W footage one usually sees is from the BBC's coverage. Actually the BBC stuff in the Abbey is better - the producer ignored the strict instructions of the flunkeys in charge and got som...

Just to flag up the fact that this is available on DVD - have a look on tony Palmer's DVD website. Tony made the original film in 1970 using early portable video technology, and the new version has been cleaned up a bit.
