Fantastic piece of history and nostalgia there. I filmed myself on a number of visits back in 1990 and it was busy even then, but not as much as you had in 88. Thanks for sharing, Colin.
Oh brilliant, just brilliant!! Sadly, I remember vividly seeing those locos in green livery hauling crimson rolling stock. To add to the nostalgia, there were still locos from the back end of B.R Steam thrown in to the mix. An excellent video showing scenes never to return. So very well done and thank you👍
This brings back so many memories my nan and grandad lived in Derby used love seeing all the movements while waiting to get a peak hauled train back to London
What a great trip down memory lane. Never realised the Peaks were still around so late in the 80's, and enjoyed watching them going on to Etches Park. Thanks for posting.
Nice Memories of Derby Midland when I was attending an Ultrasonic Testing Course at the Railway Technical Centre before the Railways were destroyed under Privatisation. Grand to see Engines and Units in proper Livery, and no damn Graffiti.
May have been a little tough on the loco, but I have seen 12 on a 31 and some quite heavy ballasts, although on the GWR we did double head the Newbury and Oxford services from Paddington....many thanks and sincere regards....Mark
Done a few overnighters on Derby platform before going to Ned St, which im sure it was the Summer Tenby mainly 47 hauled. Always something going on at Derby 👍👍
nice video i visited derby a few times im the70s and 80s derby works ope n days where a must i saw class44 d6 being repainted from green into blue copped my last class46 46009 saw a must wanted class40 onthe scrap line 40132 happy days
Couldn’t miss your take on derby. Coal hoppers, and Burkhardt wanted to double and triple freight. Ha ha. Bit late in the day for peaks, but doesn’t 45140 look good.
I can personally vouch that pairs of 20s were still hauling passenger services as late as 1993.... Must notably perhaps on the 'Jolly Fisherman' summer services to Skegvegas
The days when it was such a joy for us train lovers.
Yes indeed....Many thanks and best regards...Mark

Great times for us in engineering when Burkhart took over better pay and conditions loads more time off
brilliant! were the class 20s just moving empty coaching stock?
Suspect they were moving stock coming from the carriage works opposite Etches park.
@@BibtheBoulderok cheers. it's at about 3:00 if anyone wonders what im on about.
Must've been a damn cold day. Spotter shivering in a greatcoat!
