It's now 41 years old

I’m on both of them somewhere used to be more bashers/Ned’s than holidaymakers

Literally 1984

Still a classic clip

Brilliant. Must have taken so much patience. Worth getting this footage enhanced with AI

A whistlers paradise 🙂

Good footage of a video camera

40 028 "Samaria" the first 40 I ever had for haulage. Derby to Newcastle and Carlisle to Derby on the RESL Easter Highlander.

Awsome😊😊

Saw my first Deltic at York, never forget it, great Smashing super footage.😊

Oh no there’s no yellow lines for the wokes

Just like their pairing Class 37's . The Class 40's are fantastic! 1983 was a fantastic time for us Brits.

Great footage thanks for sharing that great days

Is that Sheffield !??

I love the driver giving in to the pestering to have a cabride to Longsight!

Brilliant footage, watching it rolled back the years. It's been 40 years but I instantly recognised the ones that had unusual features, like 131s crossed eyed headcode boxes and 28 still had the nameplate studs in the sides. Information that's been sitting unused in my head all this time. There were a few really healthy ones that didn't make it, 28, 44, 60 and 104 spring to mind plus the late numbered Healey Mills ones.

Fantastic footage and thank you for sharing. Great locos, proper trains and fabulous sound .Wonderful memories of rail blue come flooding back.

Just seen a picture of 001 at Chester

2 minutes and 50 seconds in, the flailing is Hellfire! It’s how life used to be! Brilliant film thank you. Class 40’s as I remembered them!

Pegness due to the strap ons ?

Oh the memories of those times long gone. Great footage, cheers.😊

The good old days, music to my ears 😊

Locals have complained about a few 68s ideling overnight keeping stock warm for morning start of service. ...they would be straight on phone for this lot of movements 😮

They were scary as a kid

With the footage of the double headed 40`s out of liverpool, after the first tunnel, it`s like ducking your head under water and seeing nothing, then second time, there a sodden great white in your face! Great bit of film, and extremely clear to.

Marvellous

What a fantastic video. As a 10 year old, I remember being taken around the north west chasing the last 40's. Plenty of visits to Newton Heath, and Reddish Vale. I remember standing on the end of platform 5 on that day, watching the train come in, and the light engine go back out. As it left, the driver opened her up. Never would I think that someone would have captured the moment on video, including my late father, myself and my two younger brothers, all clearly visible around the tripod at the end of the platform. Thanks for uploading.

The KING of diesels!!

nice finesse with power handle no wheel spin on a damp day....take a lesson preserved drivers....but a bit sloppy with brake hanndle into emergency for station stops? and the slap slap of the air powered wipers....!!!!! drove you potty if it rained all day

Absolutely hellfire compilation :) Great to see 40s in the landscape and all those freight workings. What was the double-headed working at 40mins load14!!! including the two InterCity coaches. And D200 on a tour that follows - is that Miles Platting? Excellent memories captured for posterity!

Haven't watched it all yet but your bits of music gives me a smile,did the same with my Deltic films super8 sound camera and editing with music and mixing with my projector, 1981 on a kitchen table after doing 12 hours at work, still enjoy watching it mistakes and all. DELTIC'S Ana a class 40.Times gone buy.😂

The class 40 pass at Ais Gill is impressive timing :) Such great locos :)

Very emotional when they were singing "for she's a jolly good engine"....

3:10 A monstrously thrash-full departure on those greasy rails! 🚂👍

Glorious ❤

bag of nails, she is over fuelling on a couple of cylinders. Pumps need adjusting

4:16 What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon filming classic locos on freight: in the background the sound of birdsong, and was that a factory siren slowly fading away ... 🚂👍

Red Bank is/was a classic rail location, with LS Lowrey's famous steps and footbridge in the background! 🚂👍

5:56 That 40 on the scrap train was going all out considering the amount of exhaust! 🚂👍

Absolutle timeless rail footage: a classic loco, foul weather and the North of England! 🚂👍

5:30 Those were the days: real characters, real trains! 🚂👍

Epic. Absolutely Epic! Particularly the soundtrack. Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor! 👍

Splendid

Amazing to think most of those bashers and insectaneds will be in their mid 50s now happy times

I grew up not far from here in Ashton, and i still remember seeing the Flying Scotsman at Guide Bridge when i was aged about 9 :-)

How to ruin a model 101

I started as a 2nd man with BR in 1980. Last class 40 I was ever on got about a mile out of the yard, failed, had to be hauled back in 😕

Very late to the party with this comment but I've only just found the video while searching for D213 images. 40013 Andania was the loco that my grandfather drove on his last day before retiring from BR in the late 60's, we recently came across a photo of him leaning out of the cab at the end of his last shift, and as Andania is still running in splendidly restored form under the stewardship of LMS Ltd in Crewe we asked them if we could recreate the photo for the family album, they were brilliant and arranged for my son and I join the loco in Crewe at the end of it's whistling highlander tour to take the picture. It's so interesting to see 40013 in it's BR blue colours as she is now resplendent in green.

Just watched this excellent footage. How boring are the railways now. Thanks for sharing

I remember being hauled by one these Sulzers to Leeds from Kings X and returning to Kings X behind one of them, I didn’t know what they were at the time but I thought they were fantastic, with the three window sections and the nose, such an air of travel. you really felt you were going somewhere, I remember walking past the flank of the Sulzer at Kings X after arriving with this huge tumbling noise of the Sulzer under roof of Kings X , I absolutely loved them
