- Over 40 freight workings featuring Class 20s, 31s, 37s, 47s, and 56s compiled from my various visits to Peterborough in the late 1980s. There's plenty of wagon variety to enjoy, along with a mixture of liveries as locos changed from BR Blue to Railfreight/Red Stripe and then Railfreight Grey Sectors.
*The individual movies these were taken from featuring a variety of other workings(passenger, parcels, light engine moves)can be found on my channel - search "Trains In The 1980's - Peterborough"
Some great footage here. Thks for sharing.
Peterborough after 6pm was always amazing for freight. Love your videos, always great to see things moving at a time I was waving me kodak 133 about
Yes you’re right, i was spotting 85-94 after being brought up there, amazing place in the evening, one after the other coming off the MR line as this video shows. Great that this guy videod at the time.
To think we used to get all this entertainment for free!! Those SF 37s with black headcode split boxes were my favourite....they were always filthy and looked amazing! I used to wonder why SF used to shine up their 47s and Toffee apples but never did a Tractor with a silver roof!
There was a bit of personal pride with some depots and their locos, as you say Stratford well known for their embellishments.
Fabulous videos of the olden days, I've just been watching your Class 85 leccys from Rugby, everything is so different it's brilliant, thanks for editting these to give us fond memories.
Love all your videos, probably saw back in 80's and 90's convinced I'll appear on one 🤣.
Living in California this is great to see again
Great video thanks ,,,,,the Years of no wires and no Deltics
I really enjoy these look back posts. Thank you.
Thanks, glad you like them - I've been making a lot over Lockdown so plenty more to come yet!
Don't stop :)
That 1st 31 pulling Mermaid ballast wagons, gave me shivers,, they were complete B......a to tip, 2 teams of 2 blokes turning (spider) cross shaped handle,, nightmare !!!!
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Ahh the old Redlands self discharging train.... brings back fond memories of when I used to park up my BT van at lunchtime and watch the train pull in, or be discharging at Leagrave plant in Luton.... Thanks for uploading Darren
Yes, it was a regular site between Mountsorrel and the Home Counties - a real shame they had that issue with it that seemed to kill it off as I would have thought there was still a use for it these days. Thanks.
@@MrDeltic15 I can even remember it being featured on an episode of "Tomorrow's World" when it was being introduced as it was being promoted due to how you could off-load anywhere that had a siding, and would cut down the unloading times at their plants... shame that one particular accident sealed its fait. I agree, I still feel something similar would still be in demand if it was still around.
@@MrDeltic15 Just stumbled across this video czcams.com/video/wusZ-9r_Lkc/video.html shows it in action to good effect
Some nice new XR3i's on those car transporters at 11:50, fresh out of Dagenham
back then you could actually see all the cars, but now they're covered up
Always good to see what we had.
We can't go back, but at least we can look back Mike.
Great footage there.
The only thing that's missing is that we don't get to see the whole train in a number of cases... which is really useful to railway modellers like me.
If only I could turn back time, but being a kid(well, teenager!)back then my videography and photography skills weren't what they are today, but why I didn't film the whole train I don't know - although my Dad did some of the filming too so it's not just me :-) Things do improve as time goes on though so you can see whole train consists.
Great work Darren
Thanks 👍
very cool
👍
Neat vid!
Thank you very much.
oh my lord, the LNER teak on the mainline in the 80's!!!!!!
Great stuff 🌈😷🇬🇧
Thanks.
Wonderful walk down memory lane Darren. All those lovely 'underpowered & unreliable' BR locos - reliably hauling lots of freight! Fantastic variety of freight too and lovely to hear a Valenta screaming in the background too. Did you ever film anything on the flyash loop line, as I don't recall ever seeing any film from there?
Thanks Andy. Yep, mixed loco traction and mixed wagon consists, these were the days! There will be some screaming ECML Valenta action to follow at some point...……. I never did film on the Fletton Flyash loop, but watched a great video with that in the other day - look for "Trains At Peterborough - 1984" by Roy Harrison, the thumbnail is of a Class 58 at the terminal.
@@MrDeltic15 Thanks Darren, I will have a look for that👍.
hello, i'd like to ask something. what are the meaning of those number on trains?
Hi the first two digits are for the class ie 37 is for a class 37 the last three are the serial individual number, also the last three can denote the subclass ie 37425 this being an electric train modification for passenger work. Just pump in to Google and Wikipedia’s pages will enlighten you hope that help Richard
