In my opinion a '50' at full throttle sounds even better than a Deltic. Controversial I know but growing up in Reading during their heyday I saw far more of them and they'll always be a favourite.

BR blue era was best in my view. Didn't like large logo and what followed. Never liked NSE

At 3:03 what a glorious shot. Absolutely brilliant

Was a great day

Good to see some Bashers around Stratford Way!

4:51 that loco has since renumber to 50049

Today only a few 50s are still in service as of now and some can still be seen on the mainline

Them 50s really put on a show

Everything about the Class 50 just shouts "Muscle"

I wish I could live back in the NSE times. I was only 8 when this footage was taken.

Short trains near the end 4 coaches I remember 12

Memories mk2 f red cow and double dragon beer

Brings back fantastic memories of spotting in the 80s. Proper locomotives, with character and personality. Not like nowadays 😢

So so sad I miss each and every one of them

Great video of some wonderful times, happy memories of my youth. Thank you for posting!

Awww that's sad 😔

Awsome 50s

Awsome great bashing memories

Greatttt

These are tremendously nostalgic. I can just imagine the sound effects.

That was some impressive clag from the HST powering up leaving Exeter! Interesting that both power cars of the HST were under power, so perhaps an AWS problem. Impressive power to weight ratio there.

Great video down by the river at 2:00 near the old remains of the Axminster lyme Regis rail bridge. Practically lived down the river in the summer as kids, remember seeing the trains all day 🙂

Having seen in the video the two Class 50 locos at Glasgow Central, I wonder if they actually were paired in service before the West Coast Main Line was electrified.....

Excellent! When trains sounded like trains 🚂🤓

First time viewer, you have a great looking layout

Memories

😎

Really like your layout, so much going on around the village, nice pond and surrounding. I like the short trains, 50s, 25 and shunting area👍👍👍 Darren

Excellent vide really enjoyed watching this 👍

Thanks, great video 👍

So sad seeing my favourite one Revenge like that….. and all the others. Great knowing that Triumph was saved and is at home now at Bodmin.

Just come across your great clips. Enjoying them on Father’s Day with a bacon Butty and a brew. Cheers for uploading them 👍🏼

Brings back fond memories,back in 1985 I would catch the Paddington to Wolverhampton evening commuter train out of new street after school,most times I had the whole train to myself,head out of the front window as it stormed up the incline through the tunnel,scored all 50 of them in this way in about a year.Later on when I had more money from my paper round aged 14 I would travel behind them everywhere with my pals to penzance and the Exeter Waterloo line,even had one up to man piccadilly once on a service train not booked for a 50.happy days

Excellent video 👍really enjoyed 👏🏻

Nice pictures but change that awful music please

Just watched the whole series you've filmed, great selection of footage. 👍

Great video Tim cooper would enjoy this one. I've just subbed

I remember going on a permit round Laira and seeing a lot of these and some of the Fitters telling us they wished they could repair them but sadly the cost didnt justify it.

Think I filmed hood towing the hst at 1 hour 28mins 30 sec here th-cam.com/video/s3LwHDUKaPw/w-d-xo.html

Only 178 views, what's wrong with people

RIP to the 50

when i was a little boy , we lived right next to the wcml , when two fifties would thrash out of wigan , i was so scared of the noise i would run in to my mum . i still remember the noise and look of them today

Dean park?

Magnificent footage, Thanks for posting. Although I don't think that's 50025 at 0:54 as 025 was in early NSE livery when written off in the 1989 crash whereas that's in revised NSE

Busted rings or tired bores ?

Great video! I wish I had been a bit older and travelled about more to see the 50’s in action … but great to see videos such as this as it’s the next best thing! Many thanks for uploading 👍

Great set of videos, thanks for uploading. Good to see lots of original NSE livery which I prefer to the later version. Never saw these in action but do enjoy watching videos of them from the 80s.

Fantastic collection of Vac Vids! Great quality and even better content 👌

Excellent, thanks for posting!
