Where has this precious footage been hidng? No litter. No foreign weeds or bushes. A joy to watch. Everywhere so tidy. There may have been hardships but this was a better time.
My favourite thing about this is the sheer volume of ex-NER locos there were still in full service in the 50s and 60s. Even though quite a few were preserved, it’s nice to see so many working together.
Traitor here. Never liked the NE engines. Could here Q6's pulling into ICI Billingham when I was a boy. Used to count the axles going over a bad joint at a level crossing, from my bed. Always thought GWR engines better looking.

Q6s. Q7s. V1/3s. V2s. J27s. K1s. A3s. A1s. A4s and even a B16/2! Alas, I remember them well. NYMR still use a J27, a Q6 and a K1.
Excellent footage from the good old days, shame I was born in the wrong era.
Superb footage so great to see all those lovely North Eastern stalwarts again
Brill film but NE of where..... England, Scotland, Wales, Eire ?
