Just had to froth over this one, as like my own film from here, they are a modellers dream. Shame the choppers never came off at the end, and i even recognised a couple of the enthusiasts there. Great film.

Worked at Ravenscraig Steelworks for over 20 years and regularly sat with the driver in the pilot loco on the triple headers. Unfortunately the Health & Safety police have fenced off this spot & spoiled the best viewing area in Scotland.

Unfortunately the costs involved in operating wagonload freight was the main reason we no longer have it. Something like 80% of the cost was due to marshalling remarshalling and local trip workings. BR just couldn't afford it.

10:30 in deffo 37373 (160) with the cut away shirting beam, more than likely it's regular partners 37370 / 37379 with it but can't tell, front one is 373 though.

It’s a convoluted way but works well for me, I connect up my vhs player to my dvd recorder then rip that to the computer , tried loads of video cards for PC and none I liked , if you want them digitised I charge £15 a tape and you get a DVD and the file to download.

This just goes to show me how boring modern freight is. All wagons are the same, very little variation in block traffic and the loco's are box's on wheels. Bring back the steam days, when loco's breathed life and there were interesting shunting movements to be seen in a yard.
