@aureol40012 yeah, but it's full of sprinters and donkeys!

Excellent footage from the blue era............I very much regret not going to Manchester and the north west in the 70s & 80s as there was so much variety in the area at the time.

It's like a stable full of thoroughbred stallions, all pawing the ground & ready for a race.

been watching a few of your vids today , real good stuff.... if it wasnt for people like you all this would be just a memory

What memories your vid has bought back. I was 16 then and spent everyday of the summer holidays on rail rovers. Newton Heath was always one of my favourite depots. If I could turn back time I'd do it all again!! Thanks for sharing your vid

... and a 25, a couple of 45s and a 47 thrown in for good measure. I always thought the 45s and 47s looked bland in rail blue but it somehow makes the 40s look very handsome.
Thanks for posting! I only got interested in the railways later in the '80s, when the 25s and 40s were all gone and there were only a couple of dozen `peaks' left.

Awesome until 1955? The railways were bankrupt and falling apart in 1945, after being run into the ground in support of the war effort. That's why they were nationalized...
