Thanks. I had no concept when I filmed it all those years ago, that one day I’d be able to share the videos so widely, or that they would be appreciated by so many. Isn’t modern technology wonderful?! thanks again for watching and commenting. 😊😊😊👍
New subscriber to your channel. My grandparents local station was Hayes so I remember the route from Paddington very fondly. Wonderful videos btw. Proper trains!
Welcome aboard!And thanks for subscribing. Hopefully my more recent uploads will be of interest too; there’s still much to enjoy in the current railway scene. 👍😊
Mega nostalgia,some excellent video there,love the 50 action,takes me back to my bashing days, hammered the Hoover's on haulage from Birmingham,back in the day,hellfire traction 🔥
Thanks, but I will admit, I tended to avoid filming the dmus and HSTs, so my videos do tend to give a rose-tinted view of how loco heavy the action was. Thanks for commenting 👍😊😊
hi are any of you videos on dvd that im able to purchase . ive not found better footage anywhere that captures this era . you where right on it back then to be videoing as it finished so quick . ive several class 50 nameplates so looking for footage and photos if you have any . cheers paul
Hi Paul. Thanks very much for your comments. The short answer to the DVD question is ‘No’. A few years ago I did approach a couple of the Railway DVD companies to see if they were interested in the content, but I got nowhere. This was one of the reasons I started the channel tbh. I suppose I could consider creating my own DVDs and marketing them on eBay or similar, but the channel already takes up far more of my time than I’d like, and this would just compound the issue. 😊. As for the nameplates, all the ones that I have photos of are in a montage at the start of the ‘An Hour of Class 50s’ video compilation . All my Class 50 footage from the 1980s is now on the channel, in one form or another. I appreciate this might not be the answer you were hoping for, but this is only one of my hobbies and, as I’ve said, already squeezes my time far more than I’d like. Glad you’ve enjoyed the videos though. If you haven’t tried yet, can I suggest you view using the TH-cam app on a TV to give that “DVD experience “. cheers, Geoff @OldOakTrains.
Your videos are fantastic. Wonderful sights and sounds from the 80s. Well done for capturing it all, and thanks for sharing.

Excellent. Brings back memories of Saturday afternoons at Paddington, watching class 50s and NSE livery trains. The good old days!
Many thanks!😊😊😊👍
Another great video. What i wouldn't give to have all this back just for one afternoon!
You and me both!, but to go back with the 4k Canon camcorder I use now, even better!
thank you for these videos i miss these days gone by

Always great to see film of 34 Furious, one of the best. Cheers.

Lovely to see some real trains, far nicer than todays trams.
