Wonderful! I was a regular spotter at WH in the 70s and 80s. There was an industrial estate right along side the line that I used to park up at, I could watch from the car. 20s, 37s, 31s, 47s, 45s, 25s all regular visitors. Saltley TMD was right next to another industrial estate so was visited either on the way to WH or leaving. Happy Days!
Thank you very much for watching and i'm glad you enjoyed the video. I only wish i'd seen all those 25s and 45s on Saltley and got to film them but alas i never started to visit the area untill the late 80's with my work. Still , i'm glad i managed to film what i did see then. Best regards, Colin.
That was wonderful Colin! A good helping of Tractor action and great to see an early Romanian build 56003, i was taking notes of the cab and front ends for a future project, although probably wont ever get around to it! Vielen Dank fur das Tielen des hervorragenden Filmmaterials danke Nick.
Cheers Nick and thanks for the kind comments. I'm glad the footage of 56003 has been of some use for your future project mate and i see you've been brushing up on your German lately ha ha 👍Have a great week Nick, all the best, Colin.
Lols thanks Ben. Sometimes i enjoy showing my archive stuff over the new as it gets a bigger responce but don't worry, the next one will be an up to date Scottish video. As always mate i appreciate the kind comments, take care, Colin.
Hi Dave firstly can i say thank you for watching and i'm glad you enjoyed it. Secondly as Downgrand1967 has stated, it was indeed the Stechford--Aston line,which was as far as i'm aware a freight only line. While i was filming below the bridge 90031 actually passed over the top with a freight. Cheers, Colin.
Great footage 👍
Thank you Steve, i'm glad you enjoyed the video 👍

Washwood, what a great, but grimy, location, and some nice freight moves! 🚂👍
Thanks for watching Dave, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Thanks 4 shareing
My pleasure Nick and thanks for watching 👍
Sorry dont know how to express umlauts on my phone!
No problem Nick 😀
Stop spoiling us Colin. Absolutely superb footage from a location which is barely recognisable from how it is now compared to this video.

Great vid but can I ask where the electrified line on the above bridge go to? Not familiar with the area I’m afraid
Probably the Stechford - Aston branch connection.
