  • I've uploaded NSE EMU compilation vids, so now we have a diesel unit one! We see DMU & DEMU's at work on this upload. Classes seen are 101, 104, 108, 115, 117, 121, 205 & 207 at Woodgrange Park, Bedford, Salisbury, Marylebone, Basingstoke, Theale, Reading, Acton Main Line, West Ruislip, Oxford, Cambridge, Eastleigh and Colchester. Hopefully it won't be too long before a direct rail trip can be made once again from Oxford to Cambridge! If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

      I used to watch Class 118 DMUs on the Western Region at Slough and Langley during the 1980's. They also were unofficially named 'bog units' on account of the pneumatic noises they made during gear changes.

    This video is a classic. I love the class 104s in NSE livery, the hybrid sets of 104/108 and 108/101. I remember a time when these charismatic little trains were everywhere, you couldn't turn round without seeing them. Oh how I long for those days again.

      Yes, i recall that unit was pretty solid in the Salisbury area....I'm partial to a curry....at Purfleet the old ststion buffet became a take-away curry house......very handy when on the Purfleet Yoeman discharge job......many a foil dish piled up by the shunt signal on the goods line there.......lol

  • @neilcrawford8303
    @neilcrawford8303 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love those old DMMUs. Trains cobbled together from various classes. Unlike today where so many types can only couple within their class, or adding an extra carriage to a unit would involve a days work and reprogramming the train's computer.
    Todays trains are nuts. Inflexible, over complicated and ridiculously expensive to manufacture.

    • @SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus
      @SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is crazy today....even different sub classes of the same train cannot couple together because of the build spec being different from the requirements of different TOCs....It took BR years to replace all the pre nationalisation stock with a standard country wide norm....only to have it smashed to pieces again.......The first gen DMUs did have different sub classes (like the Bedpan 127s that were fully auto & could only couple within class) but a lot were Blue Square and could be couple up to 12 carriages with up to six powered out of the 12. I always liked the forst gen units and filmed them where-ever i could....lots more still to upload.

    Fantastic video Soi.
    Strange towards the end of NSE days Marylebone sets were just a hotch potch of whatever they can put together.
    I certainly dont remember 108s on that line.
    Lovely seeing the Thumpers at Salisbury,ha many a day mis-spent there lol.
    It's funny how no-one ever really rated DMU's back in the day.
    And how we all miss them now!

    Anything on the Great Western would have been before 1992 when our Turbos were being delivered. Marylebone is probably around the same time.

      Yes, i remember doing an NSE Rover in May 92 to chase the last of the loco hauled workings out of Paddington as the Turbo's were due. The Chiltern ones arrived in mid 91 although were only on test, i have one on film at West Ruislip but it wasn't in service, the first gen DMU's still ruled.....
