@MrJezza31 they were, i have 50 020 model, they were all great, 25, 31, 37, 40, 45, 46, 47, 50, 52, 45, 57, but my favs were the 55s, i saw rsg ysterday on the ecml, tyne yard, it really was magic, i cant be bothered with todays trains, i only go to the track now when one of the above diesels is on a railtour or a steam engine

grr a load of great trains almost all of these are now scrapped evan 50024 at the start of the vidio

@wattass7 50s were good eh?

it really annoys me to see these fantastic locos standing there ready for scrap to be replaced by the crap we have today, unbelieveble, just like doncaster and the atrositys they done with the deltics ,im glad br went the same way as these fantastic locos especially the 55s

Was the western and the warship preserved. That looked like a 33 at the end with its cab off.

Hi,
The Western was but, believe it or not, the Warship was cut shortly after this was filmed. And its a 27 with the cab off.
