Great railways footage, brings back many memories of my trainspotting days in the 1950s, spending hours on Doncaster station `spotting`, back then, health and safety took a back seat, I can remember going around sheds in the Glasgow and London areas in the middle of the night with our local railspotting fans club, yeh good memories.

*_WOW!!!_* There is just *SO MUCH* to be seen here! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 There is so much I recognise from my modelling and from preservation, and so many new sights to be seen!!! I can't wait to see the 50s and 60s scenes (although it means the death if steam) and what Nationalisation brings! It's also quite something to look at all these trains and see (almost) no BR anywhere! All the wagons say LMS/GW/SR/NE or older! The coaches are all LMS/GWR/SR/LNER - no Mk1s yet! No BR Standards yet either! 😮

I can not understand the negative comments why not enjoy and remember you will never be able to film these scene's again.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Have always found steam locomotives 🚂 of more interest then diesel locomotives.Remember the daring ( 1963 ) Great Train Robbery documentary. Not many of that magnitude committed in England.

What a pity the cameraman never recorded the apparently brief periods of the two Brighton Pacific tank engines at Basingstoke, nor for that matter other moments where a Brighton Atlantic H1 and/or H2 were there.

With all these colour descriptions it's a pity that this film is not also in colour.

Easy to get it colourised these days.

60 minutes of video, yet a mere 5 for the Eastern Region. Shame.

No real discussion of war-related operations, steam loco import or export types, or the emergence of the first diesels. All in all not that satisfactory a documentary. (Perhaps that shows why it has been little-viewed on this post.)

It is probably more to do with the lack of film content from the war years as it was an offence at the time. Additionally, those who were likely to have been able to film were likely to have been too busy engaged with war work or in the forces. Film stock would have also been in fairly short supply.

dude shutup. You have all this great footage of all these marvelous locomotives and their history but you want to deem it insufficient for not covering something beyond its scope? God it's like people on the internet just have to find something to bitch about. There are plenty of documentaries covering those things independently.

@@TheGaugeOGuild l have a lot from the IWM as shot during the war by the army. All mute footage and of course B&W but could always be changed to colour these days if required. So far mostly how the army used the railways not just run by’s as shown here.
