- First of all...to all purists:
I KNOW the sound does not match the locos.
I Know that the sync is not perfect.
But I have been four days snipping and clipping, trying to match the sounds as much as I can.
All I can say is...it has got to be better than the copyright free music.
If it hasn't worked for you , then just turn the sound down...I have tried my best to do something different.

Thank you so much for this time travel. Loved 'Donney', was it shot from Gresley House.
I spent hours there watching my beloved pacifics. Never saw a high-vis though.
Hello Michael, thank you for your comment.....the footage was taken from the multi-story car park.
Enjoyed this VERY much! If you have more then please keep them coming!! Excellent stuff!
Thank you very much Fraser...........pleased you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for your efforts; if the sound is not perfect, it is pretty close and much better than muzak, as it does recreate the atmosphere
Thank you Sir for your comment....appreciated.
Some lovely shots around the station reminding us what it was like back then. Thanks for your time and effort in uploading these videos they are a joy to watch ( and listen to ) .
Many thanks indeed for this comment, the time and effort is WELL worth it for comments like this...cheers.
Very kind of you to comment...thank you.
A very enjoyable video from 1967 and nice memories for me from that era when I use to visit Manchester Victoria to see the steam locos while visiting an Aunt in the area during my summer school holidays. Thanks for sharing. Regards - Allan.
This is what these archive films are all about, to hopefully bring some memories back of that particular time, and in your case it seems to have worked....this makes me happy that it as all been worthwhile. The pleasure of sharing is all mine....thank you for your comment.
Fab-u lous! The effort you have put into this is incredible Dave and as you say your sound is much better than the inane music. I am getting as excited over this as I do with PW's trainset!!!! Thanks again. Cheers, Bob
Many thanks Mr. trainman, and very pleased you didn't object to the soundtrack.
Awesome video, Dave Cooper! Lovely how 4472 Flying Scotsman is moving with the two tenders.
Many thanks Grumpy for your comment, and very pleased you enjoyed watching.
Bah Humbug to the purists, Dave you have done a brilliant job and I know how hard it is to add the sound afterwards - I always do with my videos. I watched this on the TV and the projector sound threw me a curved ball. I am just loving these as it was my growing up period and back in South Africa we just lost them and this takes me back to what I was reading about in various train magazines that I was spending precious pocket money on - smiling; as a developed a childhood layout. Bring them on mate they are great. Have a wonderful weekend and take care.
Once again.....a stunning comment for which I thank you very much. When I first started to add the soundtrack, I had bits all over the place, and getting confused as each minute passed. At one time I wished I had never stated it, but I walked away from it for a while...then went back did a bit more. I was like that for about four days, until eventually things seem to fall in to place. Thank you for your comment on the projector sound, it is surprising what you can find on the internet, and thought it was an ideal intro to the film.
Many thanks indeed for your lovely comments, I appreciate it.
Let those who would criticise have a go at it themselves. I'd say that your time and efforts were well rewarded. Thank you for posting.
Many thanks indeed for this comment, very much appreciated.
Of course you are right, there was a lot of time and effort to get this result...so once again, thank you.
Fantastic job Dave! Theres a huge amount of effort gone into putting sounds to these wonderful old clips. A little bit of mismatching actually adds to the authenticity of it all. Sometimes theres a line, wobble or jump in the old cine film that makes for imperfect pefrection so to speak, 9.1 Dolby prologic surround sound would ruin it completely!
Again, some superb clips and shots from an era now lost to history, and thanks to your good self, we can all enjoy it. Thank You very much for taking the time to weave it all together...the results are captivating.
Once again, you seem to have placed me on a pedestal with your wonderful comment.
I do agree though, as you pointed out....a lot of effort and concentration went in to the final edit. Also a lot of other details which are too long to mention here. The main thing is, thankfully you (and a few more), have noticed and appreciated the work done...that is all that matters to me.
The video is now out there, anyone in the future wishing to research the railways back in the 1960's, hopefully will find my film helpful.
Many thanks indeed for your comment....thank you.
Dear David
It went eastward to just outsidef Guide Bridge where 26052 took over for a run over the Woodhead line to Sheffield Victoria.Meantime 70013 was turned and engines were changed again on the return.It took the train to Hellifield via Bolton and Blackburn.The train had started and finished at Edinburgh.Return was via Carlisle, Kilmarnock, Stirling and the Forth Bridge!
Roger Dividers book Steam Surrender has photos of both 70013 and 45156 at Manchester Victoria in it
Thanks again for letting us see it. Alex
Thank you indeed for all this information, and very pleased this video has brought some memories back for you.
David, I was transfixed to my seat. Basically in admiration of adding some loco sounds to what would otherwise be a silent film. You pretty much managed to match the sounds to the manoeuvres on the screen - no mean feat. Enjoyed watching very much. Cheers, Brian
PS: I'm hoping to visit the sheds at Old Oak Common next weekend on their open day. Hope they've got the odd King and Castle to film.
Thank you Brian for your very kind words. It was a task at times I wish I hadn't started. I downloaded 5 different tracks, then cut and spliced them to try and match the scene. It is nowhere near perfect, but pleased at least one person (you) enjoyed it......thank you Brian.
I did very much. You certainly had some fantastic opportunities to film these last days of steam. I recall passing the Barry scrapyard in 1963 (at 11 years old) on my way to Fishguard to catch the ferry to Rosslare in a force 9 gale. The sight of rows of silent chimneys and rusting locos that we passed that day stays with me. If you have more footage like this I look forward to watching it.
There maybe some, but it means me plowing through all my 50ft. spools, I may get round to doing that when I am in the nursing home (with nothing else to do).
Excellent - 45156 and Jim Carter.
Hi Dave. Fabulous job - even to the point of accelaration, sitting engine, the volume shift as the Flying Scotsman came to then away was a treat. The projector sound at the beginning was a good touch too :) You seem to be raising the bar every film you make. Alan.
Some lovely shots all around the station , reminding us what it was like . Watching that is like being there again. Thanks for your time and effort uploading this its a joy to watch ( and listen to ).
WOW, what a wonderful comment...thank you very much. As I have said, it took me around four days to piece it all together, but comments like this makes it well worth it.
I thank you for your comment, and pleased it brought some memories back for you.
Nice footage
Thank you very much Sir.
Great Video, with some fantastic editing. Really enjoyed it. Robin
Wonderful comment, thank you so much....and pleased you enjoyed the video.
Hi Dave, sound worked fine to me. Well done.
Many thanks, it is nice to know, so thank you for your comment.
Anyone here have good knowledge of Doncaster Station between 1965-1968 (+ - 1 yr)? I use to spot there roughly in that timescale (I seem to remember us lads trying to spot all the Deltics at the time which in the end I managed to do). One engine I have fond memories of was I think at the end of its useful life and shunted backwards and forwards. It was so old you could see it wobble left to right at from the front when you looked down a straight. That sticks in my mind and for some reason I thought it was Lord Rodney (30863) but I have never found any evidence this southern region engine ended its life in Yorkshire. One of those memories that keeps coming back and never gets resolved!
not very likely that Southern LN would have ended up in Doncaster. The LN's were all withdrawn by 1962 I think the only LN i copped was 30850 Lord Nelson when it was in store at fratton and Stratford. There was a Jubilee 45643 called Rodney..
Yup, sure do. I used to travel from Leeds Central Saturday mornings to Donny for a days spotting. Walked to the shed 36A and every time got round without any hassle whatsoever. EX WW11 servicemen now on the ralway were great figures, and loved the kids spotting, just like surrogate fathers after what they had been through.
Saw my favourite (60105 Victor Wild) dead on the scap line at front of the shed, waiting to make its last journey. The non stop rattling through causing a hurricane of litter as the A4 chime rang out.
Lost my return ticket one day and kind people gave me money for a ticket back to Leeds and the bloke in the ticket office made up the rest. Great days, Great people. Memories etched in my mind forever. :-)
Sod the purists i watched it for the footage which was amazing
Thank you..................
Excelente video!!
Gracias , contento que lo hayas disfrutado
All those teenagers standing on the tracks saying "Wot's elf and safety ?" I have photographs I took at Victoria twenty years after this in 1987 and it doesn't look a lot different.
raynet21 For anyone visiting Manchester today, it is very different; but it’s worth a short detour as the impressive frontage still remains with the lovely canopy outside the front entrances. Inside you can still see the famous old, tiled Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway mural of the company’s routes.
Excellent video.
Deliciously atmospheric
Many thanks for this lovely comment....appreciated.
It looks have changed over the years and only a former shadow of itself and I remember the subway that went under the platforms and wonder if it is still there hidden away and blocked of or filled in.
Better than nothing.
Good point.....thank you.
Would it be ok to share this with the Black 5 facebook group? Thanks...
You can....as long as you credit me with the film.
I've just come on this.Im wondering about the date as I was on a special behind Oliver Cromwell which passed through Manchester Victoria on 1 June 1968- the day before my 20th birthday and45156 was in the station that day as well!
Where did 70013 go from Manchester Vic., as I went on to Guide Bridge to film it passing through. Sorry to be so vague on the date, but cannot be sure it was the same time as your charter.
Great stuff though interesting that we are all slagging off idiots for trespassing on the railway then we see complete idiots on the main lines at Doncaster many years ago! Nothing changes...
Don't do yourself down . Without the far-sighted people who took these films , we would all be the poorer. Synch sound or not , it's better than awful musac !
I thank you for your reassuring comment, and very pleased that you liked it.
The music soundtrack was terrible, and not at all fitting.
