What an interesting video, thanks for sharing 🙌 😊 Looks like a scrap yard 😫 but let’s hope these fantastic locos will be up and running one day, especially “Repulse” , I recall travelling behind it many times Paddington-Oxford in the 80’s, what a powerful beast ! Any ideas what numbers the 45 and 50 cab are? 🤔
I'm pretty sure the Class 50 cab is from 50037 Illustrious. My happiest memory of 50037 was riding behind it from Paignton to Newton Abbott when it made an unexpected appearance on a local service in about 1990 hauling three or four filthy carriages they kept at Exeter for emergencies.
There used to be a cab from 50037 at Bo'ness, It was there in 2002, the Peak looks like 46035/D182, which belongs to Pete waterman, that looks in a sorry state, I think he also owns the class 47 there as well
abs fantastic footage,looks an amazing place to visit
Yes, it's quite an interesting yard to wander around. The line runs through a nice part of Derbyshire too.
