Great pictures of the Fairburn tank engines tackling the steep incline out of Bradford Exchange towards the signal box at Bowling Junction where my dad worked.when the line was very busy.
An excellent video and I really enjoyed the 'lost lines' elements! Early on you have a few scenes at Leeds City but then the WD 2-8-0 with cattle trucks and an LNER 'B' with parcels are both at Wakefield Kirkgate - rare footage too! Thanks again
Many thanks for this.Top quality, both video and sound. Out of interest what was the sound recorded on? I had a Philips reel to reel 1 7/8 inches per second but this is far better.
Hello, glad you enjoyed the video. I began making recordings in on the same Phillips machine as you described in until it suffered a mishap and was replaced in 1967 by a cassette recorder but I continued using the original Phillips mic . I subsequently ran the original tapes through a large Sony reel to reel recorder and used a graphic equaliser to reduce the base frequencies and tape hiss before saving the sound onto DVDs. (The cassette tapes did not need much correcting) I was then able to match the sounds to the film using a Pinnacle video editing programme on my computer.
@@PeterHutchinson-jc6wv Many thanks for the reply. There's clearly a lot of hours of work gone into that, but the end result is amazing. Having an authentic original sound track makes all the difference to what is now a priceless record of times gone by.
Great historical footage. Thanks for uploading ! Bought back some memories of the 1960's in the area.
Brilliant and thank you for posting. Harrogate was my home town and I miss it very much.
Nice shots of the attractive Metro-Cammell diesel railcars - reminds me of my very first Triang train set!
Totaly superb some rare film at some rare locations superb
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much.
Awesome coverage!!
Loved the shots of Ripon/Harrogate
Much enjoyed, Many Thanks 🤩
Excellent, that B1 struggling (14.55) to get its train on the move was just super footage.

Not long before these dirty clanking engines get cut up for scrap.
Amazing video thank you 😊
Wonderful films, so much changed and lost
Brilliant record of times past.
That B1 was sparking well
Proper railway !
Oh heaven
Would love to see more of Hartlepool's if there's more footage?
All of my West Hartlepool footage has been published. However I have just uploaded a revised version of this which has improved video quality.

Much better viewing, any footage of the Consett branch..?? I've asked several times without an answer...!!
The second video on this channel is Tyne Dock to Consett, uploaded a good while ago now.
