Back to a Sunday afternoon in January 1992 at Weymouth. At this time BR ran a series of Sunday railtours around the South Western Division of the Southern Region using a wide variety of freight locos with a Crompton inside to provide some ETH! We cath one of these tours arriving at Weymouth, shunting and departing again along with a 2 car class 155 Sprinter (before they were split into single 153's) and a couple of 442 Wessex Electric's. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

Those 442 were beautiful trains. Even had buffet cars too..you don't get that now

Too true! They had a bar area as well with some sort of lounge seating!

I was on that tour which was one of many run as DC tours from Waterloo. They used a succession of freight locos with southern ones inside for heating

Always enjoyed traveling on the 442's down this line, clearly a well built train given they're still surviving to this day.

based on the MkIII coach they were a good, solid built train!

It's a shame the decision has been made to scrap them.

Ha...finally you made it to my other home town...although I was still in London when you filmed this! 442s have to rank as the best-looking EMUs ever to run in this country - they are test running sets at the moment to reintroduce on the Portsmouth Line, as I am sure you are aware. Nice to hear them at night. Great video as always Soi Bukhao!

Thank you.....i do have a vid of the push-pull Cromptons working off here with first gen DMUs.....a future upload i think!

Sounds good to me! @@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus may have been a little before your time, as it closed in 1983, but I wondered if you'd ever visited Radipole Halt? It was the next stop up the line, about half a mile north of Weymouth Jn. Another thing I wanted to ask but didn't want to seem rude is that, as I have posted on RMWeb, I am currently building a layout based around Greenford in the late eighties (I may have already mentioned this so sorry if I am repeating myself) - I just wondered if you got any footage of the New North Main Line? I think you might have already uploaded some footage of North Acton diversions (possibly the reason I started watching your channel, my memory is appalling though)

They were nicknamed plastic pigs by the drivers, and had the withdrawn REP traction motors fitted, a testament to how good those motors were.

They could've cleaned the Class 37 up a bit before sending it out.....

A lot of fiddling went on to get certain locos for haulage, the people who ran the tours in the main worked on BR and had a lot of behind the scenes wheeler dealer action going on....this loco may well have finished a job, been sent to the Southern and back where it should have been by the early hours of the next day!
