  • BRILLIANT VIDEO !!! "WHAT A PAIR" WELL DONE !  when was this taken ?

  • Hi SULZERBEASTIE, it was taken on the 4th May 2009. Thanks for the comments!

  • Top class vid,great locos (shame about the livery)!

  • "Artemis Purple" is a bit "funky", you're right. Oh well.

  • Great video, thoroughly enjoyed this and the other videos you have on here. Are any of these in extended play available to purchase? Loved the blue/grey Mk3 coaches, often travelled between Glasgow/Euston in these in the 70/80s - though 5hours with that bright Orange seating hurt the eyes! Great to see full loco hauled passenger rake taking the Salop line, spent most of time taking that curve in heritage dmu en route to Central Wales. Thanks for posting, a real treat to watch

  • @deltic055 Thank you for the kind comments! I don't sell any videos yet but I keep all the raw footage to one side, you never know. I dunno how many people would buy my videos!

    Thanks again.

see all
