Hither Green Action with Class 56 class 47 and Class 73 power..mpg

This collection of clips is from my early years of video work and was all filmed on video 8 and without a floating head tripod.
It shows some classic action at Hither Green during the snowy winter of 1991.
First we see Hither Green depot filmed at night on the 11th Feb 91 and we can see class 56s 47s and 33s. 56045 is clearly idetifiable.
Next we see 56022 still in classic blue livery on a empty MGR service from Richborough power station. For some reason this service nearly always had a blue grid on it.
Next we see a class 47 heading North with a steel train from Shearness.
Moving to the South end of the station we see 73210 having had a crew change departing with the Victoria to Folkstone orient express charter.
Finally who would of thought we would miss these classic slam door units. This one was on a Charring Cross to Orpington service. All the daylight shots were filmed on the 14th Feb 1991.
