- Back to a Sunday afternoon in January 1992 at Weymouth. At this time BR ran a series of Sunday railtours around the South Western Division of the Southern Region using a wide variety of freight locos with a Crompton inside to provide some ETH! We cath one of these tours arriving at Weymouth, shunting and departing again along with a 2 car class 155 Sprinter (before they were split into single 153's) and a couple of 442 Wessex Electric's. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
Nice 37 and 33 at weymouth
Loving these videos. Especially when they are local to me like Weymouth!
Another great record of times gone by.
Never get bored of seeing your video footage.
My pleasure.....plenty more still to come!
Great railway video as always Soi Buakhao.
Thank you.....
Those 442 were beautiful trains. Even had buffet cars too..you don't get that now
Too true! They had a bar area as well with some sort of lounge seating!
Ha...finally you made it to my other home town...although I was still in London when you filmed this! 442s have to rank as the best-looking EMUs ever to run in this country - they are test running sets at the moment to reintroduce on the Portsmouth Line, as I am sure you are aware. Nice to hear them at night. Great video as always Soi Bukhao!
Thank you.....i do have a vid of the push-pull Cromptons working off here with first gen DMUs.....a future upload i think!
Sounds good to me!
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus may have been a little before your time, as it closed in 1983, but I wondered if you'd ever visited Radipole Halt? It was the next stop up the line, about half a mile north of Weymouth Jn.
Another thing I wanted to ask but didn't want to seem rude is that, as I have posted on RMWeb, I am currently building a layout based around Greenford in the late eighties (I may have already mentioned this so sorry if I am repeating myself) - I just wondered if you got any footage of the New North Main Line? I think you might have already uploaded some footage of North Acton diversions (possibly the reason I started watching your channel, my memory is appalling though)
They were nicknamed plastic pigs by the drivers, and had the withdrawn REP traction motors fitted, a testament to how good those motors were.
I was on that tour which was one of many run as DC tours from Waterloo. They used a succession of freight locos with southern ones inside for heating
Yes, i was out most weekends to see what was running off Waterloo!
As always, nicely done Soi!
Thank you, i aim to please!
Always enjoyed traveling on the 442's down this line, clearly a well built train given they're still surviving to this day.
based on the MkIII coach they were a good, solid built train!
It's a shame the decision has been made to scrap them.
They could've cleaned the Class 37 up a bit before sending it out.....
A lot of fiddling went on to get certain locos for haulage, the people who ran the tours in the main worked on BR and had a lot of behind the scenes wheeler dealer action going on....this loco may well have finished a job, been sent to the Southern and back where it should have been by the early hours of the next day!
the442 was a weird train
Nice to ride on though and fast!
