See the replica of the class 156 sprinter coach, which we see on a wagon at 11:26. That footage was filmed in April 1990, and the wagon, and coach, were heading north to Inverness, to be worked over the new Ness bridge by 37113 "Radio Highland". This was to mark the opening of the replacement Ness bridge, and thus reinstatement of through far north and Kyle trains into Inverness, after 14 months.
47513 was stored for a long time at the cattle siding at Crewe station along with 47802. I cabbed both of them there in the late 90's with my friend.
And regards Motorail service, I remember them, because I have motorail facilities, namely a ramp and GUV, on my layout!
Brill video, well done. Great job and thank you very much 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it Richard.
