A home movie which highlights some of the locomotives that operated at the Dinting Railway Centre during the period 1976 to 1980.

Both Hardwick (in the film) and the Midland compound visited on rail tours. There were very few standard gauge preserved railways operating then so Dinting prospered. Great memories of the place. Happy days indeed.

Hi There, a great film and I was a regular visitor to Dinting in the 70's. What makes this film great is that I am on the footplate of Bahamas with my son Stephen at 4:00 minutes into the film. What a lovely coincidence. Many thanks to the cameraman.

Remember visiting with my Uncle, I'd probably be 7 or 8, back then we would have gone on one of the old electric units. How fantastic it would of been if the Dinting Preservation Society had secured the Woodhead route.

A superb record of the early days of steam preservation. I managed to catch both Steamport and Steamtown as a child and have some memories of them but alas Dinting closed down when I was barely 1 year old so I never got to experience it.

Good days, at least when the sun came out. I remember digging our way into Dinting and clearing points etc after heavy snow.

Fantastic little film wish it was even longer many a enthusiast has lots of memories of this place. Love the old tv music in this video too. The Society did a great job there and with the Webb Coal tank. Without their hard work we wouldn't get to enjoy seeing a LNWR engine run at all nor its namesake loco. Thanks for sharing!

Yes at the time BR Livered Locomotives weren't as popular as they are now, the trend was for Big Four/Pre Grouping Liveries try to distance the preserved railways from the then recently finished BR steam. The then Owner Geoff Drury decided a fictitious version LNER livery it would have carried if it had been outshopped before BR.

I think Apple Green 🟩 suits it just fine which is not surprising as it was designed with that colour in mind
