Not my cuppa tea but can see why you do it. Some right ole beasties there. Allegrot not been out ?

Beautiful footage! I love the whole experience, the trains, the countryside, the stations. I actually love travelling by rail, the locomotive, the stations, travelling down the Hudson into Manhattan and the intermediate stops.

Good demo.

I love Morris Itals, and this is a delight to see.

So ive got a Focus 2.0 st diesel 2017 Stage 2 240hp & 580nm Ive hit 67 mpg I going to drive to Madrid from yorkshire On less than 78 litres of diesel, less than £125

It was a herald, not a vitesse. Also the chevette was an extra rare HSR and one of the finest on display you never even mentioned was the black Vauxhall Cresta

Ive never seen anyone charge at a buckeye coupling before, complete eejit. Ive been a shunter on a heritage line for a number of years and never dealt with and seen cowboys doing it like this. If all else fails open both buckeyes up and slowly approach and squeeze up, shunter listening for the pins to drop

Why didn’t they close the coach buckeye and open the loco’s?

This driver is dangerous. No wonder it’s not coupling, he’s hitting it far to fast and he’s setting back way too far

Now you got me worried with that new Bachmann they are releasing with the auto coupler or maybe that’s just getting Model Railway locomotives absolutely accurate

I'm almost screaming at the screen 'The pin of the coach is not dropping', that was after the first attempt.

The coupler is known as a buckeye. I was down the Swanage railway a couple of weeks ago on the diesel gala getting my free train rides.

You don't keep trying. Couple of goes that's it. Drop the Buckeyes and use the emergency screw coupling.

0:12 What's with an Eastfield depot plate on a 33?

Yep bc u not the USA so it's telling you that you can't us them 😂😂😂lol

A very under rated loco

On such a straight portion of track, only needs 1 knuckle opened. The carriage's knuckle is failing to remain closed correctly. First failed coupling should have caused crew to open loco's knuckle, second to manually (by hand) try closing the carriage's knuckle-if successful, then reopen loco's knuckle and connect on third attempt, if unsuccessful straight onto the backup screw coupler. No need for bouncing into it that many times like a madman before eventually going for the screw couplers.

Cool idea, classics in the street. Nice. You were close but no cigar I'm afraid, it's Gilbern not Gilbert. Yeah, I know , picky picky. Happy Birthday.

rick that blue 3 wheel pick up was a reliant ant

Should have used tension lock couplers

Closing the auto on the carriage - open the auto on the loco. Why wasn't that tried ?? Fairly obvious there was an issue with the carriage coupler.

What a result on your holiday. Was a Reno16TX , my mum in laws caught fire when we borrowed it 🤦🏻‍♂(1984,ex mum in law 😂) Car of the show for me would be the Escort van 👍

Well done Ricky, bonus birthday video! My wife never believes me when we 'stumble' upon a classic car show 😂

Wonderful video Rick! Looks like you had a very nice birthday! Belated birthday wishes!

Happy belated birthday Rick, wish I was so young !!! Im pushing towards 70 lol, loving your video s of Scootland, Mull of Galoway, and now ,Inverness aways brings back memories for us , the Mk 1 Cavalier,s we had a 2ltr in the orange tan simulator to the one you filmed, we towed our Swift caravan all around Scotland, staying around Inverness, black Isle many times.

That was great Rick, enjoyed that, you don’t see many classic car shows on a high street, very apt really as one time that’s where you’d have seen some of them back in their day, on the side of a street or driving along a Mai road. For me the experience of a classic car is being able to see, hear and smell it, which you did there. That 3 wheel pickup btw is a Relianf Ant. Thanks again Rick.

Some great cars, spotted my very first in there, the Hillman Super Minx estate. Nice Mk1 P6, I always thought the earlier none power steering model drove nicer. The GMC Astro van, we had one as a daily driver for over ten years and it is probably one of the best vehicles we have owned. Chris.

Great impromptu car show. Wonderful P reg Cavalier mk1 coupe, there is a Scottish garage importing mk2 Escorts, so maybe where those 2 came from

Some great cars, nice impromptu video. Happy Birthday 🎉

As a guard on the NYMR in the 1990's on even the slightest curve we always opened both buckeyes

I find it amusing people in 2024 still talk about 'Em Pee Gee' when fuel has been dispensed by the litre for over 30 years. MPG means nothing. You pay for the fuel by the litre. So the only logical measure is litres per 100 kilometres which actually measures fuel CONSUMPTION hence is a direct measure of efficiency and economy . . .

Interesting video, thanks guys 👍🚂

Love that sulzer bellow

Great communications skills, tradesman skills very enjoyable. I am buying mgf 's for peanuts because of the head gaskets and hydrlastic suspension, so by using the alternative thermostat from the Landover and a canister of silicone glue sorted.

Nice one Rick, cheers, glad that Agatha’s wheels weren’t about to fall off 😁 Is a bit of a mystery though with that noise, as you said though you will have to take the joint off to take a closer look at it. Seems a simple job changing rear shocks, personally I despise working under any car, I have a phobia of it. It’s suprising with some cars, especially cheaper cars how proper servicing falls by the wayside, when you’r looking for a used car so many are probably overdue their cambelt for example, oil gets changed and that’s it.

nice work rick

I had a bit of a knock on the drivers side and it was a brake pad that was moving about. There was also a bit of play on my shock absorbers and changed both so they wear evenly. I even painted them before the garage put them on.

Do fannys run 🤔😂 Never enough time ( or energy) eh

Been a busy chap Ric, he must be thorough if he found an inch off the bottom of a spring and now you know the car is ok too.

Visited here last year, amazing place, as you mentioned not as big as you may think but big enough to see the cars we remember from those era’s. I drove that white coupe Marina, it’s a 1.3 series 3. I’m waiting until they have that Maxi or the blue princess 2.2 available to drive that you saw with the “Trapezoidal” headlamps I think the shape is called. It’s a good afternoon out, nice run through the Derbyshire countryside and a good place for car meets. I noticed the ITAL wasn’t there this time, probably put away into storage, I think your right, you do see more when your not walking around with a camera/camera phone. Good vid as always mate.

Great video.This is like a sweet shop for car enthusiasts! On a side note,does anyone know what a very nice MK3 Escort should be insured for on an agreed value policy?

The hubcaps on that brown Clubman look a bit odd. You can just glimpse them. Looked sticking/bulging out. Loved that Allegro Estate.

wow a real trip down memory lane thanks. passed my driving test 1st time so dad got me a morris oxford for my 18th birthday. it was british racing green with grey leather seats had to sit on a cushion to see over the huge steering wheel. So wish I still owned it.

Hi Rick.regarding the headrest issue you raised for Agatha. Are they cloth ,vinyl, or leather?

Some great stuff in there. Had at least 3 Dolly sprints , adore them.. So all those cars belong there?
