Very good of you to say so but of course there are far more informative railway vloggers out there; using maps, diagrams, old photo's and they give dates and an historical context. I'm afraid my love of the railways is more ethereal, atmosphere, smells, sounds. :)
Back in the mid 50's my mother used to take me from Kidderminster to Stourbridge Town once a week for shopping, I was ~5 at the time. I cannot recall the first stage, (could it have been diesel then?), but the Junction to Town section I always recall as being steam hauled by, I think, an 0-6-0 tank, Happy (?) Days - An Elderly Flatulent.
Very cool and an informative video. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing that memory :)
