Great video. Spent far to much time photographing the last days of 33s, 47s and 50s on the West of England line myself in the early 90s. Great memories!
Great video showing the dusk of loco-hauled trains on the West of England route. Interesting formation behind 33116.... contains 3x 65xx TSOT coaches (you'd normally only get one)!!
There were two locomotives in RES colours, 47704 and 47712 Lady Diana Spencer, that were in regular use on NSE London-Exeter trains. They had NSE stickers on the ends. There was also one, 47706, that was in ScotRail colours but with the word ScotRail removed. It appears from this video that the name "The Queen Mother" was transferred from 47703 to 47704.
Where has all this additional video come from and has there been a DVD version of Waterloo - Exeter Finale MTA ? my VHS copy got dust damage and I love to get it along with all the extra footage especially the Hoovers at Salisbury section.
Hi The additional material was some of the footage that never made the Waterloo Exeter vhs tape as I was tight on the 3 hour limit of SVHS tapes in those days. I’ve been meaning to put the whole video on RUclips as there’s no chance of doing a dvd, I will do it over the weekend and post it up. We did 6 videos all together if you like that era 3 on the GWR and one the 37s in North Wales.
GWR yam yam nice one I liked the Pad Bristol one to, so are the tapes still on sale or did you do a set run? my tape got dust damage. I have a reconditioned machine, but I need to keep running it back and forth. I was caught in some shots window hanging and in the cab on occasion...shhh kept schthum on the Exeter one. I think you'd do well if there was a DVD or Blu-ray multi layer the nostalgia alone would sell well. Locomaster profiles, TVP and video 125 all sell on DVD even stuff from back in the 1980's. I got TVP's profile on class 50's which was first on sale in 1988. ps what 6 where there?
Hi No tapes left i'm afraid, they will all be up on RUclips from the original SVHS tapes but the quality is poor now compared to standard definition stuff you see. There were only 5 vids in the end, they were GWR 1 Padd - Britol GWR 2 Bristol - Plymouth GWR 3 can be seen here ruclips.net/video/dj2UxPqQvF8/видео.html Waterloo Exeter Crewe - Holyhead Doing waterloo exeter today
@@thehogfat I lived in Wilton for many years, so I'm very familiar with Salisbury and Waterloo stations. I used to also live in Dorchester and traveled to Waterloo a lot with my Dad in the steam days!
A memorable, wet and murky Salsbury. Very atmospheric!
7:58 fantastic angle!
Great video of some classic traction. Thks for sharing.
Some great 47/7 action there ,it reminds me of the E & G where they were getting thrashed at 100mph ,happy days.

Some great memories of nse and not a unit around.
I can see the green-painted DEMU 205029 in the background of one of the shots.

As ever Sulzers to the rescue in central city... 👍😄
Great footage, thanks for sharing
Brings back memories, great video. Thanks Pete
Loco hauled, nice.
Some right old nails they sent to Old Oak after Res had snaffled the 47/7s, didn't they... Some nice thrash there, though.
Did Waterloo-Plymouth have to turn around at Exeter?
Yes it did
Enjoyed the video, thanks😃
How often were RES 47s used on these services?
There was usually two locos out every time I filmed the route. One of my other videos on RUclips looks at the whole line over 3 hours
@@thehogfat Thanks for the info, I'll have a look for the video.

The full video has just been posted up.
May need an hour to process to 720 resolution
Great video, but there's no apostrophe after numbers for a plural, so it's 50s not 50's, and 47s & 33s !
Good spot, corrected now

The Filter Fluff Fifties retired gracefully in the early 1990s and therefore their duties were turned over the 33 Cromptons and the 47s.
