Many thanks for generously sharing these amazing clips with us, Tony! I hope you can find the notes that you made during the tour so we can find out about the identity of some of the locomotives shown in the clips.

You have helped me out enormously with your knowledge of the locations. Its a pity that the video camera aimed at the screen didnt pick up all the colour of the film which is still perfect. But at least this has allowed others to see it for the first time. You can of course copy these using realplayer10 if you want to.

Very nice again! 5*****!

I´m especially glad that you´re not adding music to your videos. That´s really a desease amongst younger video-makers here on YouTube.

The sound of the movie projector is adding to the nostalgic feeling.

I like it that way.

This was obviously in Poland. At which town and when was this ?

I had 6 failed uploads yesterday so I didnt bother adding a comment until now. Ohh to have had a video cam then. They were about but black and white only and very expensive. Now to advise my Polish friends that I've finally started to upload these. There's some good narrow gauge steam as well to follow.

0:14 - 0:19 jakby kto nie wiedział - to jest tłumek ludzi oczekujących na taksówkę przed dworcem głównym w Poznaniu.

0:14 - 0:19 People crowd waiting for taxi... the real life in communism.

As for particular locations in the film, here they are:

0:00 - Poznan Glowny railway station (briefly, Pt47 can be seen arriving) and then Poznan Towarowa locomotive depot with Pt47, Ty2, Ty43 and Ok1 locomotives.

6:32 - somewhere on the way to Gniezno I guess, Pt47 with a stopping train.

6:58 - possibly shot from the window in a hotel room. Distant shots of Pt47, Ty5 and Ok1.

7:51 - Gniezno and lovely Ok1's and Ty43's.
