@@leehardman8156 Thanks Lee, I am glad you mentioned the comment, as I had forgotten your secind name.. Working as a team, and learning from, not only, other peoples mistakes, but personal experiences and true stories, can`t be learnt from a book..If the job went up the wall, you were a great help to me when I were in Stocky 2..made the job a lot easier, I doubt from what you told me yesterday, that is no longer the case on both sides of the job..
Loved the action in that signal box(tower to us Americans)! Pretty easy pulls. I visited afew towers here in the US over the yrs that had levers that maybe handled some distant set of crossover points that would break your back to throw over!
Yeah yeah....because you are "mericans" you always have things that are bigger, better, faster, harder than here in the UK....You also score first in the BULLSHIT AND AROGANCE catagories as well.

Great video ! Reminds me of my many hours spent on Stockport Station as a kid in the late 70's.Rob
There is some footage in Stockport 2 as well, from around this time,it is on You Tube.
And still Stockport No.1 and No.2 survive! :) What's all the frenzied activity at 10:54? Don't know my bell codes 'that' well!
Miss the sound and smell of the 304's, shame none were preserved really.
Nice video. Odd to see an NSE liveried 86 on the vans then an Res 86 with the Mk2s!!
must take a great mind to design all the interlocking system
