Paul, A few things: First, being a kid at heart and a railfan myself, I can relate to being the only adult without a kid on miniature railways. Second, I recognize Tom's distinctive speech as the 'voice' GCR's 'reunification' videos. Your interview of him was great, as it put a person (who seems fun and nice to boot) to the voice for me. Finally, even this Yank knows the Pacer would be my third choice! Cheers! Scott
Great filming, Tom the voice of the great central does a great job for the railway , nice to see trains to rushcliffe halt , so much to offer a wonderful railway , will be there soon as possible !
Oh wow, lovely to see that green D M U, I've got an old Hornby version that I need to sit down with and give it a service, it runs roughly at the moment. This has inspired me to get down to my shed and give it a run on my layout.
I received a Triang Hornby model of the green DMU back in 1960 as a Christmas present. So that makes it 64 years old.I still have it, in immaculate condition.
First generation DMU's then the mighty 125 for me. There was until recently, a Scammell that was in the livery of Sid Harrison of Tinsley, Sheffield parked near the bus garage....think it was an eight wheeler. Sid was running Scammells built in the sixties carrying steel ( What else? 😀) from Sheffield to the Birmingham area regularly in the nineties. The history of Sid and his haulaage business is worth a read.....he even had some steam locomotives in his yard, albeit stationary, for a job thathe took on! Blessed be!
Great vlog many thanks for making and sharing. My choice would be the beautifully restored green DMU it looks great. As you say really good to see trains back on that section after so long I hadn't heard they had stopped apart from COVID time it looks such a great setup with so many different attractions.
Excellent video of your second viewing around the GCR Nottingham 👍👍 I’ve been enjoying your series of the GCR Reunification and I like the music at the start of your videos as it reminds me of the American music. My favourite of the DMUs at Ruddington is both actually because I’ve just like DMUs from every area.
Faithfully restored dmu. Immaculate and beautiful!
Great work. I was born 5 mins from Rushcliffe Halt. I can just about remember getting the train to Nottingham from there as a young kid.
Thank you for your presentation - great DMU. Here's to the future linking of the two sections of the GCN.
Great to see all these heritage railways making it happen well done everyone 👍🚂

I'd choose 107 but I love the HST
Excellent stuff. Nice to have a word with Tom Ingall too. I know these things are long-drawn out, but I'm impatient to see progress!

HST 125s are my favourite.,,...with the original livery, flying banana.

Nice to see them running again.Great filming Paul.I would have the DMU by the way.Be great to see it all linked up again.

Cheers Paul...excellent coverage....
Love the DMUs.
2:57 I like the model Barton bus. Also the bus museum at 4:41.
The dmu for the memories...Pacer for a bit of fun and the hst for the style and speed.
Great video👍👍 Great to see trains running again on the north section of the GCR. I would choose the HST 125.
Lovely to capture some MK3s back in the ' Swallow' scheme. Prefer the blue/grey over all others but his one certainly propels the memories
DMU 100% reminds me going up Buxton from Manchester to see family
I see yon small train had no issues with leaves on the line : ) Used to live in Loughborough, know the area & old line well, walked it loads of times.
I'm 72 so DMU (cats whiskers) 100% thanks for video
6:53 the First Generation DMUs have far more character than the Pacers. My favourite train of all time, though, is the IC125.
As a foreigner I probably choose the Pacer just to experience if it's so awful as they say 😂😂
🤣🤣
How do you fit time in to go to work???😂
Well.....that is a problem
Stick to riding the toy train mate. Leave the film making for the professionals.
For what it's worth, I enjoyed this video of yours, so don't get disheartened by negative comments.
Great filming👍. 1st gen DMU for me as travelled to work on them. Ruddington on my list to visit 2025
