My Dad worked there until it was torn down,

DIRTY SMELLY OBJECT

This is very sad. Nice photos added which make it more upsetting. Usual sadness and anger! We seem to good at dismantling things these days. When you think of all that history.... could be totally forgotten about in a few generations time.

Does any film footage exist of it, in it's hay day.

As a proud Butterley employee for over 20 years from Machine Shop apprentice to Works Engineer it was so sad to see the demise. The asset strippers really kicked into action around 2003 and purposely, in my opinion, employed inadequate directors, the likes of which John Exon would not employ to wash his car lest run the Butterley Company. One of these guys, before Martyn Meade “employed” him as MD actually ran a company that’s sole existence was to operate 3 bathroom sales outlets, I kid you not! He went on to be demoted to General Manger however, not before closing the Machine Shop down completely - Job Done! I had the last laugh on him, which was rather satisfying. It’s a shame some of these parasites were not left in No.10 shop when it was collapsed. Since the 2003 era of cost cutting and corner cutting I tried to protect the Butterley tradition of quality alas my determination ultimately led to my ejection from the Company on spurious grounds. I wish all the genuine Butterley men and women all the best and the others I hope you get what you deserve.

From what I have gleaned, it was bought out for its order book and asset stripped. Shameful!

864 with fawzy train

the day you find out someone posted your passing out parade on CZcams

the end of a great nation of british industry, so sad.

Will be missed

So sad

Man, those Hunslet's can REALLY bark. Even when doing the mundane task of shunting, they can make it exciting!

Love it. Added this to my faves :-)

Rather sad to see such a great company which has achieved so much , disappear

Brilliant! Thanx for the upload.

I think 73129 should double head with 44767.

lmao, stick to plate collecting mate. Ya don't get many electrics up that line. Infact they've only just got electric lights at the stations!

hahahaha, I've actually been places (toton bank)and had a bloke stop me and ask if id got the wagon numbers as he couldn't see them clearly. think your method is easier

Who ever says that class 70 is ugly you are an ugly duck because the people that had made it had made it sound and look good.

Nice Project !

Think reason for wheelslip was too much regulator at the start

Sri Lankan railways need to upgrade + of its rolling stock + tracks + signal system. But you can be sure that the traveling Sri Lanka by TRAIN is a unique experience Diesel locks such as the 1. Blue / silver color Canadian Engine 2. Green/ dark red color Henschel engines made in former Eastern Germany are an absolute treat for DIESEL engine lovers They have that PURE DIESEL ENGINE sound / Superb horn winding through the mountains of Hill country with astonishing landscape is a VISUAL / Acoustic treat for any train lover

Such a great clip! It reminded me of the olden days of Sri Lanka Railways :')

I went down during demo and was suprised at stuff left behind,found a book in an old tea chest that belonged to a Chris Gibson dated 1914.Sad to see whats left get vandalised till its to late to save it

Good mix of Butterley achievements and 'the end'. Even managed to get one of my pics in there!

I am in UAE, Here also some time we used to travel by Eloctric Metro train. But when i see this video little bit tears came out side. I really like Sri Lankan train engines sounds. Really it remembered me Sri Lanka again and again. I miss my country train a lot.
