Hi my name is Phil i was on the footplate from 1961 I started at Edgeley i did 2yrs on the Midland then moved back to Edgeley I finished my time at Longsight in 2011 Regards Phil.
It had work to reapply split codes and back to green, then decided to paint it BR blue however the background colour to its nameplates and crest is still in green.
Great to see a Peak back on the mainline and looking great in the fabulous station at York. I can still remember the excitement of seeing my first peak, when I was about 12
I always liked to see a peak come into the station with a train I was going on. Same for me they were one of the first locos I saw from the lineside sitting on the embankment just South of Dore and Totley shooting out of Bradway tunnel heading into Sheffield. This one brought back memories of my days out to Newcastle, their sound filling the station under the big roof and I wanted to capture that rather than a head on view from the platform end.
Great to see a Peak back on 'home turf'. I had the good fortune to be pulled by them on the Midland from St. Pancras to Carlisle via the S&C, along the North Wales coast, across the Pennines, and on many SW/NE services. They were a favourite among locomotive drivers due to their reliability and ability to pull a train out of anywhere.
What a fab machine to work on they were. Glad to see at least one is preserved. In my Leeds Holbeck days on the footplate they were a regular visitor to the shed and I have spent many happy hours working all over the region on them.
I remember Holbeck full of them and at work had at least a couple of cab rides on freight trains One was a 46 in the back cab with a heavy train of steel. They were great locos don't remember any failing on me on my trips out. There are a few left but this is the only one on the main.
Yes they did a lovely paint job and under the roof the sound was great. I stayed under the roof rather than getting a head on view of the departure for the great sound. The shed departing was a nice bonus as well as the class 70 driver
Yes I remember those days and with this and the class 40 took video under the roof looking out as I used to watch them from there and hear the loud sounding Right Away bell on the signal
Thank you jimmy Yes I used to see them every visit to York on passenger and freight. Someone said it is 17 years since one ran on the main and I think probably the late 80's when the last one was here. One of my first videos was here and shows a peak in 1986 not long before they were scrapped.
Thank you. That would of been one of it's regular workings back then. It will be good if they do a charter one day. I remember going to Reading a couple of times one was a class 31.
@cedarcam thank you for your reply. Actually no. They were always 47's. So this was very unusual. We thought it might be a York or Holbeck loco, so we're somewhat disappointed when 45118 rocked up, having seen it many times at St Pancras.
@@iainmaturin8460 OK Thanks for that info. It was probably a 47 hauled I got then and for sure a 31. I remember that because I went as far as Reading and on my return the same 31 appeared running late. Always wished I had gone through with it, anyway it did not make it back it caught fire and was taken off at Derby. I have some photos of it. I thought there was a lot of smoke and leaned out of a window to see fire under the trailing bogie, we were not far off Derby and I thought it would be better we made it there than stopping the train. It was dealt with using fire extinguishers so not serious enough for fire brigade attendance.
I needed to know why they couldn’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for most of the mainline Trains so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock which will include the class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign all of them into an overhead wire line trains and also make most of them into Five carriages per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Cummins M11, Leyland 680, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even a Loud 10-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into 11 carriages per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it even much more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 carriages per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 carriages per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Leyland 680, Cummins M11, Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 87 Octagon and Every 48 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.14 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those 18 Tonne Boxes of Coal for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!!

Thank you. I am pleased you see your old chums. I did not know them but thought it would be good to capture that moment. I remember the last days of the Peaks were sad times for many who like me rode on their trains. Happy days
@@burtonupontrentrailwaystod8589 Yea I knew a lot had nick names. Just thinking I bet that's something that went as well. Don't see big groups going out together anymore.
@@LeslieGilpinRailways It was quite warm and no rain for a change. I am sure she will be up there before long, with a retro Thames Clyde headboard even better. Nothing at all on this one which I thought they may of had being the first time out
Used to get that one on odd occasions out of Immingham running to Courtaulds, Derby where we would leave it stabled. Never found out how these made their way to us in the first place though, probably worked in with the empties.
@@cedarcam Brownhills naphthalene tanks. backed in behind the station there with the loco tied down and left in the siding. quick race over to catch a ride home so I would guess that the 45 would be standing in for a 47 working a return trip, looking at my few remaining notes, I lost a whole lot in 86 there was even a 46 on one run I did.
@@jamesedwards7241 I remember the naphthalene tank trains. The variety of freight was interesting in those days and good to see occasional rarities like the 46 you got on one. Thanks for the info.
Another lovely video well done great camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on RUclips bye for now Philip
I often rode behind these Peaks in my student days (mid-1960s) so it's good to see one on the main line again. Although I feel that the 40 was better looking (personal taste - not worth arguing about), the Peaks had the odds on them when it came to performance. I never understood the current cult status of the 37 - to my mind an ugly, noisy, smoky and under-powered machine - once again, a personal opinion - obviously many people out there don't agree with me!
The class 40 has always been my favourite, they just look right to me, neatly finished off with no grilles except the radiator and my favourite type with the doors and headcode discs. I was pleased to see a peak on my train they performed well and knocked the spots off the lumbering giant 40. The 37 I agree with you they look untidy, the Baby Deltic 40 and Deltic all had a smooth body side, got to say the 37 has outlasted them all so it has got that going for it.
It took me back as well Times I went to Newcastle and Sheffield. Like my recent class 40 video I wanted to stand under the big roof where the sound was all around watching for the signal and loud sounding, no longer there, Right Away bell to ring then with a roar of power away into the distance Happy days. Yes the Western lost her engine sadly but a new one is better than a museum piece
Is there an website and or app that lets you know about there events? I on;y ever seem to find out about them the day after when i see the videos on RUclips!
Railcam UK has a lot of up to date live info on where trains are running and a chat room where people give out good info. You can sign in there and get limited info. To look up what charter trains are running I look on Railway Herald Railtours page. Sometimes while out I meet people who tell me about things like this train.
It was Not too hot and no rain for a change. The stock should be all the blue grey they own like the end coach was but that was out on another train. They have another train they use all the same colour and that looked good on the test train they ran. I missed getting out to see that though. looks like they just got out what was in the yard that day.
Thank you These heavy locomotives were built to haul express passenger and heavy freight in 1960's. We have some more preserved but only this one can run on our main lines.
I have not done it myself apart from once on a steam locomotive cylinder cover out of curiosity but seen many people do that on diesel locomotives, just why I do not know, check the engine is running well, check the paint finish, who knows?
@@carlcox4911 Thanks for clearing that up. I did not notice anything to fault but having worked on it those guys will know what to look for, it did look as if he was pressing on the strip
Back in the 80's this strange thing of waving arms out of moving trains became a common practice. I never understood it myself and only recently from a comment posted on another of my videos found out it orginated on the Western Region of British Railways on trains hauled by their class 52 Western diesel hydraulics which were based on German principles hence the Nazi looking salutes.
such a wonderful sight seeing a peak after 30+years back out on the mainline amazing
Yes really good, it has been a long wait but looking at the restoration it has been finished beautifully.

These will be familiar locomotives to you :) Great to see this one out on the main after many years
At last a a Peak back on the mainline. The boys at Barrow Hill have done a magnificent job of it.
They really have Denis The ex works look of the paint and she made easy work of the run, 17 early into Birmingham after climbing the Licky
They just need to get on with doing up 45060, (D100 Sherwood Forester) looking negected now
@@rs1884 It always disappointing to see a loco preserved then get neglected Hopefully work will begin before it's too late
It had work to reapply split codes and back to green, then decided to paint it BR blue however the background colour to its nameplates and crest is still in green.
@@rs1884 It would be nice to see in green with maroon stock I do like this one in blue though and that's how I remember them.

45118 looks immaculate. Fantastic 😊
Sure does The finish is excellent, ex works standard by Barrow Hill
OMG I love that paint job. They need to bring it back. It looks great.
I do like that BR blue too. Done with real paint. Better than the vinyl used today
Very nice,great to see a class 45 back in york for the first time since the 90s!??

Another excellent video. Not just a 45 rolling in and out of York, great content.
Thank you Tony I do like to show more of what goes on if I can. Many just film a head on view of an arrival and departure and hate anyone in view.

Not Nazi salutes but ‘flailing’. It’s popular among diesel bashers and was big in the ‘80s.
