    The Derbyshire footage appears to be showing the old Monsal Head viaduct over the River Wye. Now closed but developed into a brilliant cycle and walking route. This stretch of line was about three miles south of the busy countryside junction at Millersdale which forms part of the same cycle and walking route. Sad we've lost this stretch of line and a magnificent loco but all is not lost with this wonderful location.

    Nice video. The sites and sounds of slam door London. I find that scene with the 4CIG at Mortlake in Sweeney 2 particularly memorable, with the hissing rails of the approaching train adding to the tension. Notice how in the scene immediately prior, when Regan and Carter are climbing the stairs of the footbridge, the sound of a diesel locomotive and coaches is dubbed on as the CIG passes!

      There was an attempt to preserve the line, but the local residents campaigned against it and permission was refused. In one sense the preservationists had the last laugh though - when the crane came along to lift the track, it accidentally demolished the overhead power lines to the objectors'' houses!

    During the 70's this Loco FALCON (Class 53) was always to be found on Ebbw Junction Shed in Newport Gwent until 1976 & always carried the old number 1200 as it was not allocated a TOPS number, it was in the old BR blue colour scheme, I believe it was scrapped @ Newport in Cashmore's scrap merchants, just a shame it was not saved to put into York Railway Museum.

    Back in June 1969 I did a weekend camp at Longmoor and we were shown around the running shed and taken up to the O Gauge model railway which was controlled using real signalling equipment as can be seen in this film. I seem to recall one of the model engines was a Royal Scot but it was painted up in LMR livery. We spent most of our time firing weapons and were taken to the Parachute Regiment Trainasium at Aldershot and all of the maniac cadets from Bishops Waltham ACF went around it! I remember climbing the tower up the rigging and thinking: "It's a bloody long way down if you fall!" and stopping there.

    It's funny to watch how serenely these are driven in preservation. When they were used on the express Charing Cross - Hastings service, you'd have the power units at both ends working flat out. To get such a heavy train moving, the driver would really open her up and they made one hell of a racket - if you were near one at the time, the sound would go right down through your body to the core. It really was like diesel enthusiast porn! I grew up in Paddock Wood, just down the line from Tonbridge. I used to go spotting at Tonbridge a lot and always enjoyed watching these fill the station with noise and fumes as they pulled in and out.
