Wonderful videos, and great inspiration for weathering the 21T hoppers on the layout I’m building

Those were the days !!!! No orange jackets, no yellow lines, no lineside ropes. We KNEW to look out and be careful. Now everyone treats us like babies.

Excellent quality of film, having now watched this it brought back many memories of living and growing up on the Island, lovely..many thanks😂

So moving and TRUE

Stunning footage of this train crossing Yarm viaduct, only a few hundred metres from where I once lived (approx. 1 mile south of Eaglescliffe).

... and my "mike" was protruding from the leading vehicle.

I was on this train, "taping" this loco along a number of stretches. 62005 spent some time in the roundhouse a few hundred metres east of Thornaby station where I worked from 1967 to 1971. The MOST kind shed-master had her moved outside the MPD so that we could photograph her in the afternoon sun. This engine quit Tees, LEADING a goods working (the 14.10 Tees to Dringhouses) and we "chased" her by road for another photograph and sound-recording... Anyway, 62005 had presented an almost priceless opportunity for photographs (regarding which I later understood that 2005 had to be in "light steam" only and be marshalled immediately behind the Class 37. Tut-tut!!!) Much to our regret, we later learned that the shedmaster had been disciplined regarding his generous action for a couple of railway enthusiasts who worked on BR Eastern Region...

Nice to see we have a bit of footage of Marley Hill during its working life

One of the things that is fascinating (to me anyway) is the sheer variety of the make up of some of the trains - there's a Bulleid pacific with green, maroon & blue/grey coaches in the rake behind. That's something that can only be seen in footage such as this. Thank you for sharing.

Cracking footage of unpolished performers. Just how twas. Thank you for putting this up!!

Excellent !

60s and the 70s , my childhood was the annual holiday on the island and the trains not the least of it . Marvellous film

I have a question, is it okay when I used the footage and sound effects from your channel because I like them, and I'll give you a credit if I use them.

Very good footage lovely views impressive…

Marvellous film! Loved the light engine, tender first, engine and brake van and the way you got the train and signals etc in too. Shed atmosphere 👍 Thank you!

Nice to see the film starts with a glorious Northumberland Summer ;-) Thanks for sharing!

I was a student at Sunderland Polytechnic, starting in 1984. The spring of '85 saw BR take up the last part of the Penshaw Branch to Pallion. I used to ride the track bed on my bike to where we met the Old Main Line. One Sunday I decided to continue past the coke works and Philly Sheds to New Herrington pit. Of course that day I didn't take a camera. Philly shed was then used for repair of diesel shunters, Class 11s and Sentinels with their Rolls Royce badges. It was the time of the strike and nothing was moving. Shortly after the men went back to work and I never went back. Lovely film of how it was twenty years before my bike ride.

Wait why was Flying Scotsman on a train thru there

I'm absolutely no expert, but I don't think I've seen footage of this era and location that can remotely compare to this. Something really impressive about those no-nonsense NER designs going about their work, even if some of them are in poor condition by this point. Thank you for the upload.

24:55 K1 doing a burnout

Great historical footage. Thanks for uploading ! Bought back some memories of the 1960's in the area.

Fantastic! Thanks for this. I remember reading about the ore trains at the time but never got to sea them, living in Lancashire.

Wonderfull filming of a long gone coal hauling everyday scene . Thank you for uploading.

Great Video of the Classic Steam Shunting the Yard - Really Enjoyed Watching!

Love that video - massive local history fan and this brings 60s life alive. Looks like it was heading on the rail track towards where Witham Hall used to be based

This is superb, ,more-so with the correct audio. It adds more to looking at those superb photos that Ivo Peters took there.

The 9f locomotives were brilliant

No sooner than they sweep something away than they yearn for it to return.

Brilliant footage, colour as well!!!!!!!!

Lovely work, Sir. Even better that you have the actual audio too. Superb.

Hi thank you Brilliant film my old man worked at south dock man and boy till he retired due to ill health Seaton and seaton top bank are just a pathway now

authentic soundtrack? nice, you can tell, it isn't that 'authentic sounds library'.

This is fabulous, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful reminder

Old friends.

Thanks so much for this fabulous film of these powerful tank engines at work

Sorry, i wish to correct part of my previous comment. The star of Bethlehem was the up distant signal on a southbound journey, not the down. Apologies.

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing those great memories with us. On one of your shots of a southbound train approaching Ais Gill summit, you can just see part of Berlin cabin, an old platelayers hut, and also as you panned round you show the down distant signal for Ais Gill which drivers & firemen called the star of Bethlehem!! When you saw that signal, you knew the hard work was nearly over. Thank you again.wow such memories.

I'm struck by the speed of some of the WD-hauled trains, they soon started to waggle from side to side with the action of the cylinders and then the tender and loco started banging backwards and forwards, you could hardly stand up.

Nice shots of the attractive Metro-Cammell diesel railcars - reminds me of my very first Triang train set!

Recreating the vanished shed scene at Barrow Hill: ruclips.net/video/1JeAxeY35Qo/видео.html

What memories that film brings back, though I lived in Surbiton every year we spent a fortnight at my maternal grandparents in Railway Street, Littleburn, Langley Moor, Co Durham and I got my fill of Q6 and ex WDs not forgetting the the main liners thundering past the miners cottage we stayed in. That was late 1940s early 50s before I went into the RAF in '56.

Thank you for the film of the North East railway scene and where steam still clung on, brought back memories of Lynemouth and Ellington where at the former my parents and me stayed for the annuaul two weeks summer holidays with family. and a period of enforced schooling at lynemouth school in 1960 age 10 Due to my mother having to look after her father after a stroke. Day and night the colliery tankies could been seen and heard working coal trains to and from Lynemouth to Ellington. Mainline at Alnmouth Station too early sixties from the garden of No 1 Railway Terrace Where Uncle Dick And Meggy Lived was pure delight for me. Only when i was seventeen did i venture up to Backworth and Burradon Area to record with photography Those times in monocrome.

I remember spotting 73117 (once 'Vivien'), a very close encounter on the platform at Woking while waiting for my train Needless to say I saw many of the Merchant Navys and a majority of the West Country / Battle of Britain class

This channel has the best footage I have ever seen, it brings those days back to life. Wish we could go back in time.

07:50 Where is this place (the level crossing). it should still be discernible today

Were all these mineral trains supplying power stations from the collieries, for the production of gas and electricity, and presumably coal suppliers for the domestic market????

You actually got the real sound as well as being in colour, a visual document, thanks for your efforts, we would only have photos if you hadn’t taken the trouble to do this, much appreciated

Burnopfield Colliery had rather big headstocks?? My grandfather worked there for a while he always comment on that.

Hi great this about 10.25 please you tell me where that is
