Күн бұрын8mm cine film shot by me in 1968/9 on the steam worked section of the NCB Bowes railway between Burnopfield colliery and Blackburn Fell drift mine in County Durham.
Locomotives based at Marley hill shed tackle the famous 1 in 20.4 gradient of Hobson's bank leading to Burnopfield colliery as well as working in the colliery yards.
Three austerity 0-6-0 saddle tanks and one 0-4-0 Andrew Barclay tank are seen and heard working hard on this steeply graded railway.

Fabulous, atmospheric scenes from an age now long departed - yet it seems like only yesterday! Very, very nostalgic. Thanks so much for sharing these 8mm masterpieces! BTW, congratulations for getting such great quality from such a small format film

The beginning of the film is now the tanfield railway museum still going strong, the bowes side of the railway museum went bust a year ago and as far as I know its closed down

This is the North East I grew up in ,it was an area of industry ,coal was the lifeblood ,the 3rivers the Tyne,Wear and Tees were its main arteries,things move on but good to have memories on film if not the sounds and smells ,Beamish an evocative place👍

Those guys riding on the buffer stocks of waggons had little care for H and S . . .
