Smashing footage on these ol vids. Thanks for posting up. The ol T9, the loveliest engine I’ve ever driven n fired. Effortless & the ride was as smooth as silk. That coming from someone who always put the unconverted west country’s in first place. The ol T9 had the edge! 😃
This is all new to me and very welcome. I saw all the original Roundabout programmes when they came out and fondly thought that was it. Coincidentally, I knew Pat Whitehouse after a fashion. I used to appear before him when he was a magistrate in Birmingham in the 1980s. It was inadviseable to cross him and he was something of a disciplinarian. However, since he was effectively one of my boyhood heroes, I had no trouble in performing all he bowing and scraping which was expected.
Compulsory watching, especially the A.C.E. clips. Only just learnt why some Pullman cars (the Brighton Belle examples) had names whilst others just numbers!

Fantastic, particularly so with Pat Whitehouse's commentary. Enjoyed this so much.
There is much to see and admire in this varied collection of quality railway scenes.

Re.Brighton Belle - actually there were several Pullman trains out of London at the time.
