Auld Lang Syne: 'Back to Basics'
It starts off as another day at the sheds before the day gets switched about and Maude ends up back in the yard shunting with Cedric. How will Maude find it?
This is my go at making an episode of Auld Lang Syne, I hope you all enjoy it and let me know what you think of it. I've other ideas planned for the future. I just want to say a big thank you to the cast for all voicing in the episode and then everyone else that helped me with suggestions and script edits.

    As a child I lived west of Millbrook station in Southampton and many of the locos featured are underlined in my Ian Allen trainspotters book. Living there and playing on a recreation ground beside the railway, there are, for me, few things to beat the sight, sound and smell of a Bulleid Pacific in full flight. A sad day was when we went on a school outing to London the day after steam ended and passed Eastleigh where row upon row of dead steamers were in the works sidings. Thanks for this great film.

    In watching these shots, one can only mourn the loss and lack of interest in any loco produced prior to BR nationalisation…oh yes there is a small reference to some Castles and Bulleid’s de-streaks but it amounts to the same old boring stuff…

    No computers, no smart phones, no satellites orbiting the Earth to make the technology work. No worries about Global Warming, no worries about Climate Change. No nuclear weapons at least up to 1945. By no means a perfect country, yet I love these old videos that show us a Britain that is no longer.
