Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated,but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction.

I believe at this time the Thornaby Depot Manager was Phil Thickett, a true Gentleman and unusually a Railwayman as well. It was his idea for the Kingfisher logo, large number's on the locos [before large numbers became the norm] and the special liveries e.g 37501 British Steel painted in BSC pale blue. He transferred to Heaton Depot for a while as acting Depot Manager, I think everybody respected him as he called a Spade a Spade, didn't suffer fools but would support his staff if needed, I don't think he was too popular with "Higher Management" I respected him greatly.
Sounded like a proper railwayman that got things done through respect......I did meet a few like that in my career too....many thanks for the comment....Mark
What camera did you use at the time? My Dad's a fellow trainspotter like you he actually loves watching other people's footage on TH-cam. I've added some of his on my channel.
I used a Philips VKR 6870 If I recall correctly, a full size Video camera......Many thanks for your comment and for watching...best wishes...Mark
@@spompey Hi Mark I've been interested for a long time to basically see how todays world looks through a old Camera so I brought a few off eBay uploaded a few too if your interested Nowt 100 is the channel. Back to trains my Dad's coming for breakfast tomorrow so il show him your footage Il let you know his opinion. Him and his late mate in the 80s went to I think Turkey, Germany, Zimbabwe,South Africa,India, Pakistan, Poland, China and Philippines filming steam trains. He said he never mixed his mates footage because everyone has a different take on how they like to film stuff not sure if that's true?
@@spompey just showed him impressed Il show him your others
@@jackmilne9764 No that is very true, some like to see just action, others the whole entity....your Dad sounds a very well travelled man with some interesting stories to tell. get him to tell all to you, the funny and sad stories to his travels.....give him also my best wishes and regards and also to yourself.....much appreciated....Mark
@@spompey thanks Mark I've added China and Philippines 1987 to my Channel few UK ones of his too need uploading. What do you film with now mobile phone or actual camera?

No I never got East of Middlesborough as not really enough time in the day.....many thanks though Neil.....Mark
