  • This is an incredible piece of film, very high quality

  • @LeeStaffs1 Cheers mate, much appreciated. It was a very expensive bit of kit in its day, it wouldn'y go for more than £10 on ebay now!

  • Thanks for sharing. How did you get a cab ride?? 

  • @tjshill82 it was easy in those days!

  • an excellent cab ride.enjoyed this footage very much.also like the sound of the traction moters whining as the loco accelerates.

  • Pete, that's pure gold !

  • love the way the wipers speed up a bit when he puts more power on!!!!!

  • Excellent - The home board for Rochdale on the Down has been removed (30th August 2011) and Rochdale box has been removed too (same date) as all signalling in that area is controlled via Rochdale West with signal plate prefixes of TH3xxx - Castleton East will be removed in December as will Vitrial Works too - Such a shame!

    Also a shame that the Oldham Loop has closed, I used to work it as a guard before I went driving - It was the "bread and buter" work of Man Vic and Wigan depots.

  • Those wipers would drive me nuts if I was driving that thing!

  • les dawson could drive a train?

  • Great stuff. Lots of real signals and excellent thrash. Note the lack of AWS almost everywhere in those days

  • Damn! You cut out the bit through Milnrow and Newhey. Excellent video... ;)

  • What I wana know is, how come there was no AWS magnet and bell on the approach to that green?? What a great piece of film in anycase!

  • Superb ! I used to drive over the loop, and still sign the Calder Valley line. Great video ! And one of the best sets of sideburns i've seen in a long while
