How sad so many of these unique industrial locomotives didn't survive the cutter's torch.

what a funny little movie ...

Blessed are the Trainspotters with cameras in the 1960s great stuff.

Great films, terrible quality copy .

If I dare say, Birch Grove looks stunning in the LBSC umber livery.

What dvd is the restoring a steam locomotive program from

railway enthusias ttfn&ty

It was a major loss to preservationist that this unique engine was scrapped. I sure hope a replica is built one day in my lifetime.

Big Bertha is certainly a gentle giant, should've been preserved, rip Big Bertha

It was not 'Neeshells" it was "Neetchulls", at least that's what my CEGB power station friends told me.

Not mentioned was the use of the Standard Class 4, 2-6-4T for commuter trains on the London, Tilbury and Southend lines

I also have a Hardback Book called The Railway Policeman. The Story of the Constable on the Track. By J. R. WHITBREAD.

I have Hardback DORLING KINDERSLEY DK EYEWITNESS GUIDES Book of TRAIN. Discover the story of railways - from the days of steam to the high - speed, sophisticated trains of today. In association with THE NATIONAL RAILWAY MUSEUM.

😊Happy days

Men at work….. real work

6:50 you know what else this shot is famous for?....The Train Now Departing

R.I.P BERTHA you will not be forgotten !

Many lines closed because they only had one or two trains a day. If they had a service at regular intervals, at clock face times, many services might have been saved. One line closed under Beeching serving two medium-sized towns had six trains each way. In one direction, if not both, had a three-hour gap with no trains, then two within half an hour!

5:21 This LNER Gresley Streamlined A4 Pacific Main Line Express Steam Locomotive No.60009 AKA 4488 Union Of South Africa Was Built At Doncaster Locomotive Works Factory In Doncaster In South Yorkshire In England In 1937 For The London And North Eastern Railway. Design By Sir Nigel Gresley Who Also Built Mallard. Thanks Mate. X

It’s truly amazing what us volunteers and engineers can do when we put our mind to it.

Seagull!!!!!!

17:51 I would hardly considor the ejector ruining Edward Thomas' appearance I for one think it looks interesting in her appearance. While she may not be wearing it in preservation at least shes in Corris Railway Red now that looks fantastic on her,even if we only saw her like that before recently going under overhaul

What a Superbly well Researched and Commentated Documentary.

Restoration of steam engines, sounds like heaven, I wish the main line would have steam engines running again, it would be just like heyday when they used to be really useful, but for now they can enjoy their time on other railways before the time comes to glory days

I watched those @1:33:11, the narrator has mispronounced the surname of the SECR/SR CME. It's Mansell (like the 1992 British Formula 1 World Champion, not 'Mornsell'. The BBC, with its vast resources, really should have got that right given that the speaker is their man, Peter Woods.

Absolutely fascinating

That area might not have attracted many tourists then. but I'm darned sure if that line had become a heritage railway then tourism would have jumped twenty fold if not more. I live near there and its a very pretty Valley and well worth the investment

All aspects of railways…no mention of the two or three gas turbine locos…hardly surprising with no recording of any of them at speed or their performance… Nor I bet, and a safe bet, no mention of the wonderful Brighton moguls…. Here’s hoping my pessimistic speculation is proved wrong…but I honestly doubt it…

brilliant saw most of ironstone lines in 60s thanks to Eric Tonks

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally saw Dukedog #9017 certainly has a wheel configuration of 4-4-0 meaning a total of exactly 4 leading wheels, a total of exactly 4 drive wheels, and especially not a single trailing wheel meaning it's got an American wheel configuration!

I've especially read the specifications of Stepney's basis including his wheel configuration, number of cylinders, boiler pressure, drive wheel diameter, ad especially his exact top speed that happens to be approximately 60 MPH as I've been doing my research very carefully by reading my Smithsonian train book!

I've especially seen Doodog No. 9017 in the video as well as in just 1 of my movies produced by TELERAIL titled the best of world steam!

I'm personally pleased to see Stepney the Bluebell Engine in this video since he'd been mentioned as the very first engine to escape to the Bluebell Railway, and there's absolutely no doubt he especially had a book written 'bout him that was adapted during the show's 4th season! He certainly has a lot in common with Thomas the Tank Engine since they were both built by the exact same railway less than a whole century apart!

I've especially wanted to mention that the classes of the 57OO class pannier tank engines as well as the 14XX class auto tank engines represent a pair of Great Western tank engines named Duck and Oliver who work on a branch line on Sir Topham Hatt's railway known as the Little Western that runs along the coast from Tidmouth to Arlsebrugh where it'll meet up with the Arlsedale miniature railway!

Yes I agree with that and I know Teddy Boston as he was the fat clergyman with the Reverend Wilbert Awdry taking pictures of interesting engines

R.I.P. -Bertha, gone but not forgotten.

Yea called line up switch.

26.23 Abbeyforegate Car park now. The Old Potts Line. Brook Rd to the right of cam. My playground as a kid . 👍😎😁

What's with the weird zooming and distortion, this video looks like it has been passed through stabilization filters.

The technical quality of this transfer from the original 16mm film is appalling. I know that Cam's filming style was "brisk", to put it kindly, but this presentation does it no favours-and some of the spoken commentary is questionable.

I have memorized this video word for word

My grandparents house looked out at the Lickey Incline, I remember hearing the engines and being told it was Big Bertha. Could sometimes hear them slip a bit…I think, I’m no rail expert! Sudden fast chuffing. I used to love watching them.

The video/film could do with enhancement by some experts like was done recently with WW1 film. However, we must be eternally grateful to those who had the interest, foresight, and indeed the money to do filming back then as it was horrendously expensive. (btw I now have a Grandson named Ivo!)

Thank you!
