Great scenes & great sounds ! The Sulzers had a character all of their own . Once the 25s had departed we didn't get much chance to hear that unique sulzer sound around Lancashire but I do recall, during the late 1980s, that a class 26 used to appear at Preston on a Wednesday evening on a Parcels service ( from Carlisle .... I think ) . If I'm mistaken I will stand corrected ..... . Thankyou for posting these videos .
Very nice indeed! I remember them on the Edinburgh to Dundee service in the mid 80s, and am lucky enough to live reasonably close to 27066 on the Dean Forest Railway, though it's poorly at present :(
What a fantastic video! This and the others in your series.... great stuff, brings back so many memories of my times on the rails in the 80s BR blue/grey era. Thanks for sharing therse.
Excellent vids and camera work, It's nice to see footage from the 80's again, those were the days and sadly missed. Thank you and keep up the good work.

They did like the old 26 & 27s up there in Scotland didn't they :-)
Down in the south east it was all DMUs, the odd 25 strayed down from the midlands and 33s in Hampshire.
