Thank you, Leslie. Great footage and I appreciate the provision of codes and timings for each service. 37s always make me smile, I have a soft spot for them 🙂
I see the HSTs and 37s that are based in Derby near where I live at the RTC area. I am about to create this Colas Rail / Network Rail HST set from a Hornby Virgin set.
A really nice mix today, Les. Nice to see the Avanti Pride return to video and loved the shot from the bridge or overpass of the crew with the 37. The snowplows were very cool, too!
Great video Les some awesome shunting with the snow Ploughs excellent work very interesting really enjoyed it and nice to see 37405 looking immaculate and no clagg as well , mmm well looked after by Harry the needle saved another one 😂😂👍 thanks for sharing stay safe a t b Syd 👌
Enjoyed that Leslie especially the shunting work by the 37 at Eastriggs, it also seems you are well known by some of the drivers as you got a wee toot and a wave from both the drivers of 1L83 @ 3.25 and 5Z16 @35.00 mins 👍.
Two Class 37's in the same video, what more could you ask for. I hope they don't need all those snow ploughs anytime soon. Thanks for another varied selection Leslie 😊👍💗
@@brian.7966 we got none at all. When I rode he Settle Carlisle line on Tuesday we saw none other than on the peaks until beyond Hellifield and into Lancashire
Thoroughly enjoyed this one Les, something a bit different. The one that came into Carlisle later, it looked filthy, it appeared to have tank like containers, are they used for weed control etc ?. Thanks for sharing your work Les, appreciated sir.
@@holylochlad.4119 those are the Railhead treatment trains to pressure wash the hunch that builds up on the rails on some lines during October and November
One thing there should be no blocked lines around your area if we get a bad winter. It looks like they are checking them over with the axle box covers open on a few.
One might postulate the collective noun for ploughs; plethora, perhaps?🤔☺️ The movement of them must be an awkward driving experience for crews, sighting visibility being restricted as it would seem.
Hi, i always enjoy your videos, this may sound like a really stupid question, but how do the train crew know whats ahead of them? is there a camera on the front of the plough? Cheers!
@@jezrourke excellent question. From observation there are cutouts in the shape of the plough such that the loco driver gets a steam loco type view. Also a chap travels on the front plough if needed in a cabin but has to stand out to see forward. I think you see him doing this in the video.
Putting all your snow plows in one basket this time of year is asking for trouble particularly as they seem to have wheel bearing /brake issues. (covers to bearings/ brake shoes open on most plows.) The first (inspection) train of the day with two HSTs the first loco looked to be in RailAdventure livery with Colas name shield? A switch/take over of assets?
@@LeslieGilpinRailways It would certainly make sense for them to be being serviced -- it's not like we get a lot of snow in the UK in the first week of November.
Why have they bought all these new ploughs, when they have 56 stationed at various depots around the country and they have hardly been used. Even up here in Scotland they usually just put out a 37 with snow guards like the 37 has on it in this video.
Maybe we should get a train with " HETRO" painted on it. Why not. After all, all you pride people say all you want is to be equal. What could be more equal than that.💪

Hi Leslie. How nice to see HST 125's and 37s still working today. A testament to how well they were made in the first place :o)
@@AlanReynoldsBucklandJunction indeed! Thanks for watching
Excellent filming Les. Good to see the 37 on snow ploughs, dont think many people see that at Eastriggs.👍👍
@@tattoo1084 thanks!
The snow plough section was very interesting. Will be catching the rest of the film tomorrow.
I hope you enjoy

@@modelrailwaynoob that sounds like an interesting project
Another excellent sequence. I found the snowplough part extremely interesting. Thanks for your hard work.
Glad you enjoyed it!

@@ModelTrainOutsider that class 37 is really well maintained - quiet clean engine and clean paintwork
Lovely video Les, great to see a brace of growlers!
@@jameseldershaw7194 thanks!

@@sydwoods.woodsendjunction9492 that's one well kept 37
Great Vid 👍🏻that tractor seems to get everywhere, not that it’s a bad thing.
@@yorkie6641 certainly does! Thanks for watching
Nice bit of shunting by the 37. Good one Leslie, all the best.
@@2010ditta yes makes a change to see shunting
That's the cleanest exhaust on a 37 ever I think.
@@ianman1994 I agree!
Some ploughs Les great footage top man Les 👍
@@stevehull787 thanks!
Wow Les, a great time filming all that i guess, very nice with lots of RHTTs, cheers Steve . 🎥
@@stephenbrass1808 thanks. We get the one rhtt that heads to Whitehaven before coming back to do the S&C

Thanks for another varied selection Leslie 😊👍💗
Fingers crossed! Thanks!
How odd that they all go to Eastriggs? I saw a few there a few weeks ago . Of course they aren't expecting much snow THERE ...hahaha
@@edenviews but very secure with all that security fencing.
Enjoyed this one Les...cheers...
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like they're expecting a lot of snow at Eastriggs. Brave of you to hang around filming with such terrible weather on its way! 🤣
@@beeble2003 last place Id expect dep snow but certainly a secure place to maintain and store them
well, we have just had some snow so we need more of the snow ploughs.
@@brian.7966 we got none at all. When I rode he Settle Carlisle line on Tuesday we saw none other than on the peaks until beyond Hellifield and into Lancashire

Les another great video with lots of variety. do network rail keep one of the test coaches in the tent?
There are two Network Rail coaches, apparently used for deicing points!
One thing there should be no blocked lines around your area if we get a bad winter. It looks like they are checking them over with the axle box covers open on a few.
If they get snow at Eastriggs then I hope the ploughs are removed pretty quickly! I think servicing is done there
@@LeslieGilpinRailways It looks like it with so many collected there.

A blindness of ploughs?
A Blizzard of ploughs

I understand that the ploughs are being serviced here. The 43303 is ex-Cross Country and stiull carrying that livery.
@@LeslieGilpinRailways It would certainly make sense for them to be being serviced -- it's not like we get a lot of snow in the UK in the first week of November.
@beeble2003 Colas have taken over responsibility for ploughs now for network rail.
the 37 went though a red light ?
If you look carefully the shunt signal is off to enter the siding
West Coast 27 ?
Easily altered!
Какое всё убогое !

@@Rondon68 freshly painted than new. They do get used a couple of times a year especially in northern and west of Scotland.
