- With an ever increasing number of parcels needing transporting, regular services were often delayed by the extra time needed at stations to load and unload them. The solution? The dedicated parcels train.
Love these short videos and the outstanding modelling. I will get to Pendon one day, and I have been a member for two years, cheers.
Many thanks David for being a Friend of Pendon and for watching our video productions. We are very pleased you are enjoying our releases and really do hope to see you in the museum one day soon.
I am always very grateful to see new videos about this precious creation. I used to live in the West Midlands, so Pendon was always a cherished place to visit. However, I now live out of the country and therefore miss it terribly. If anyone has any other footage they would like to share, please consider contacting me through my channel. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comments, we are very pleased you have had the opportunity to visit us in the past and we really hope to keep bringing the museum to your tablet and laptop. We have a lot more interesting gems that are available to Friends of Pendon. Why not join? pendonmuseum.com/friends-of-pendon
My father undertook an apprenticeship at AEC in Southall and worked on the various diesel railcars.
Many thanks for sharing that @Reading71, we hope this video brought back some happy memories and you enjoyed it.
I remember unloading parcels (some very heavy) on the up slow platform at Watford Jct. just before the early morning rush of passenger trains to Euston. We worked so fast that parcels were piled up against the Station Master's door and then when the train pulled out much of the pile fell onto the tracks. We then jumped down to clear that and then it was a heckof a rush to barrow (before the B.R.U.T.E.S.) it all down the lift to the parcels office.
Well, that does bring the past to life and puts the subject of this video into context. Many thanks for sharing your memories with us, that sure must have been hard work.
We hope you enjoyed the video as well.
Lovely video

Hurrah another railway video from Pendon, its been a while
It's been a while and we appreciate you waiting for new content. Hopefully it was worth the wait and we will try to release our next production before too long.
If you would like to see more interesting material, not available on-line or on CZcams, please do consider becoming a Friend. There are many benefits for £22.00 per year. pendonmuseum.com/friends-of-pendon
Oh thanks i like this Video
And thank you Dierk for watching, we are pleased you enjoyed it.
So basically an ecologically friendly use of the railway in a joined up logistics operation 😮in 1936…
And it worked well at the time by all accounts.
I am surprised that, unlike other CZcams channels, you do not include links with each video description such as your website, a PayPal, Kofi or Patreon link and so on.
I know you link to your website in your About section - but how many people look at that?
I also know you link in the description to your "Become A Friend Of Pendon Museum" site. However, that implies a level of commitment that might not appeal to a casual visitor.
Direct links in every video description might bring in additional revenue as some people who cannot visit you in person might well want to send a donation your way to support you.
Even with the processor fees, getting something of something has to be better than getting all of nothing!
If you go down this route, add the information retrospectively to your already published videos as well. You never know when people will find you.
Many thanks for your comment and suggestions, we really appreciate that.
First of all we really hope you enjoyed this production and are a subscriber of our Channel.
You do raise some interesting points re fund raising and as a Charity we need as much as possible to enable Pendon to thrive for the enjoyment of generations to come.
Interestingly, our link to Friends Place is clicked on regularly and thankfully more and more of our viewers sign up for the modest fee of £22.00 per year and in return enjoy many benefits and material not published on-line or on CZcams.
Maybe you would like to join them? it would be our pleasure to have you support us and to share even more of the Pendon experience with you. pendonmuseum.com/friends-of-pendon
