Good old steam I remember a day in my youth being stuck at Crewe waiting for a connection and it was freezing so I sidled up the platform and stood beside the steam locomotive and got myself nicely warmed up, happier days then still young and no worries 😊
The steam train with its magical sound will never lose its fascinating! On one of these trains can be found Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson on the way to tackle a singular two-pipe mystery, while some distance up the track are Will Hay, Moore Marriott and Graham Moffat trying to work out when the next train is due at Buggleskelly!
Lived in this area 1955 to 1971. Brings back so msny memories!
Fantastic filming thanks for posting this archive footage

This is from a railtour that took place on the 30th May 1964, R.C.T.S The North Staffordshire Railtour .
Definite info for the record now, thanks for that.
Good commentary, nice film quality and good sound. Great historical record.
Thank you very much. Took a bit of piecing together of all the various clips but it came out well in the end.
Excellent footage and commentary.The crew certainly earned their wages in those days.
I previously assumed The Green Knight's livery was ficticious! Happy to be proven wrong.😊
Looks good on Stoke shed doesn't it.
@@5DVIDEO Way better.
No line side safety at all. 😂
Didn’t need it.
Strange to think just before closing in 1965 BR installed modern crossing barriers at Denstone, flashing lights n all.
Typical, someone else's money.
I wonder if the original film is still available? I’m starting practicing film restoration and high quality scans of this would be perfect
A more up to date copy of this would certainly be a bonus with todays technology.
