As someone who frequented Westbury alot the flag ringing at the car auctions just faded away after a while as you got used to it. Havent been in a good few years so dont know if they are still there.
Once a loco has been named, it does seem wrong to rename it, wonder why this happens ?? Itmust be rare, thinking of Class 52's, Deltics, Peaks etc etc 🤔
I'm as Bob again - spot on !! 👍- Ian
I've just subscribed. Looks like we videoed in quite a few of the same locations back in the 90s. Great memories
Cheers Jamie
A wonderful look back at Westbury Brian, and able to see the variety of classes back then...Thoroughly enjoyed that....Bob
Cheers Bob, a great place to go and watch freight movements and shunting, I have a few more later clips to publish soon I hope.
08947 seemed to have been renamed. It was Howie in 1994, and Margaret in 1997
08947 was unofficially named Howie on one side and Margaret on the other after a staff romance.
Great video . Westbury, was, and is still quite interesting . And who doesn’t like mainline freight blue on 37s ?!
Couldn’t agree more...thanks
Also the hst at 4.30 has two prototype mk3s in as they lack window frames and square roof ventilators.
