Amazing 🤩 real trains, unlike the boring, plastic, foreign rubbish infesting our “railways” now. Thank you so much for sharing, thoroughly enjoyed your video 👍
Lovely that you (or someone) got this footage, in an era when colour cine film was expensive. The new livery did not suit the Blue Pullman, especially the front. The two-tone green on locos such as this class 47, really was superb, providing it was kept clean. The Hymek was always a lovely locomotive, such a shame that it was scrapped prematurely merely because hydraulic transmission became non-standard. Providing the train was not too heavy, it could perform well on express trains. Thank you for putting it online for all our enjoyment.
Brilliant capture s of glory s past .such and array and variety of traction .oh for a time machine .would love to have known what the pullmans sounded like too.i see a few of them here were clagging a bit .
Probably the Deltic Dragon of October the 12th '75. Ran to Cardiff and back, with 55003, stock and loco, seem to match the pictures on Chronicles of Napier website.
