Another RESL trip sees Depot visits to TI, IM and a view of Knottingley followed by a look at Neville Hill then some time spent on Leeds station. Happy Days
In Tinsley 47236 inside the shed was ex Canton TMD in 1974-86 & the 47 with No front cab was 47291 in RFD Livery, spares use wfu, I saw the first 2 Rumanian Built 56001/002 arrive on 7 Aug 1976 (I was inside the shed) pushed into the Maintenance Depot by a Class 31, Both were so New & Shiny in old BR Blue Livery, in them days we were spoilt for choice for Loco's, Just buy an old Locoshed Spotters book to see how many Diesels BR had in them days.
Re.e.ber storming this shed in 1972. A group of us went through the gap in the fence and down the hill. We we were rumbled when we ended up in the depot itself and had to be removed via the road entrance. Happy days
Wonderful video !!! Got back into the hobby in 93 after 10 years away …… this video brings back many memories …. Particularly Immingham which I was a regular visitor to ….
Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed it. there are plenty of other clips i posted earlier this year, some of which havent even been viewed 50 times yet!! Cheers
47150 & 152 where the first 47’s to be converted and operate in multi on Freightliners. They were incredibly suited to that work type being able to hold their own against 2 x 86’s. &5mph climbing up Stoke Bank for 2000 tones was impressive for sure.
Were all those 47's in the scrap line? I remember going on a few RESL trips in the day, always remember a huge stout chap being the wikipedia of TOP's. Too many memories 🙂
Remember doing shed visits with my dad, can't remember the name of the company that organised them. Toton was always a good one. Couldn't imagine it happening these days with all the Health and safety crap!!!
Well it may suprise you to know that regular trips are organised to go around Basford Hall Yard in Crewe, plus a contact of mine arranged for a group of us to go around Toton in October this year, pictures are on my Flickr website www.flickr.com/photos/131175774@N06/albums/72157720051180730

Wow another great video mate. Although you have remember a 47 looks great in any livery apart from West Coast Railways.
Cheers Tony, agree about the WCRC livery!!
Sad to see all those great locos in such a state of disrepair
Im sure with love and affection they would still do the job
Haha, bet the locals loved that curve !! Not a Shed in sight !! Great video,,great days and now great memories. Thanks for sharing. 😀👍

Trains look so much better with no stupidly different coloured doors.

I'm sure almost the entire fleet of 47s ended up allocated to Tinsley, it felt that way 😅
Unbelievable collection here, I wonder how many are left?👍👍
Thanks for all your comments, there are plenty of earlier video's to view, some which have yet to be viewed 50 times so give them a go. Cheers
37025 is still going th-cam.com/video/dvekmHbgMIc/w-d-xo.html
Wow, some memories there. I wonder where, all those nameplates are now?
Cheers Andrew. I expect that are on someone's wall at home or in a man cave somewhere!!
I forgot just how many class 47s were based at Tinsley.
