69843 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hello all, While going through some of the threads on here, and having a look around YouTube it occurred to me that while there are a lot of good videos that have been placed on here, they often get 'lost' when someone goes to look for them, and it can be frustrating. Also, sometimes there's videos that are quite good in general terms, but don't really fit into any particular category on here. Therefor I feel it is a good idea to start a thread purely for useful, if miscellaneous, videos. Hopefully there is something for everyone here, and feel free to place other videos below. So to kick things off, here are some ones that may be useful: (now on post 16) Index to videos: Post 2:'Building British Locomotives', 'Snowdrift at Bleath Gill', 'Snow', Building of LMS 10000, LMS twins footage, Bulleid Leader under construction, WD 2-8-0s being loaded for Europe, 'The Early Days of the Bulleid Pacifics', footage of the Bulleid 4DD, Network Rail train control, London to Brighton in 4 minutes (2013 version), 'A Steam Train Passes' and out-takes from same Post 3:'The Elizabethan Express' w/ 60017, Silver Link record run, Kestrel, APT-E and Prototype HST, 'Blue Pullman', Royal Scot being loaded for the US trip, Barry Scrapyard film, featuring Dai Woodham, LMS Fireman training film, Details of the Network Rail New Measurement Train (NMT), 'Making Tracks' track laying video, 'Men of the Footplate' video, demonstrating various jobs involving locomotives, 'Trains and Scientific Research' video by the LMS, 'Anytown', LMS video demonstrating the importance of the railways to a town, Intercity ad (featuring 'Police Car' 37093) Post 4: LNER U1, ex-works Post 7: US Military Railway training at Camp Caliborne Post 9: Railmobile mated with a Hillman Imp Post 11: Further video of the Railmobile Post 12: Weathering a Hornby B1 with Humbrol Weathering powders Post 13:'Engine Shed' video on practices at a locomotive shed, Kings Cross shed in 1959, WW1 troop train in Europe, Reopening (after WW2) and 21st anniversary of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, 'Sentinels of Safety' LMS video about signalling practices, 'Gods Wonderful Railway Men' 1980s video showing Swindon Works and the men behind the machines, 'Carrying the Load' LMS video showing a lot of detail for WW2 modellers, 'Shunter Black's Night Off' video about a marshalling yard involved in an air-raid, Lickey Incline footage from 1958, First of the WD 2-8-0s being constructed Post 16: Building a Princess Royal (6207), Building the Princess Coronations, Repairing a Jubilee (5605), 'The Railway Men' LMS film about jobs in the railways, GWR oil burning locomotives, Footage of the Brighton Belle, 'A Future on Rails' 1957 recruitment film, 1965 view of the Talyllyn Railway, Relaying tracks in the 1940s, How to coal fire a steam locomotive, 'Wash and Brush Up' 1953 film on cleaning a locomotive, Coaling and Oiling a steam locomotive, Footage of the Newcastle Flyer in the 1960s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

69843 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Right, no videos but an appeal for help. A while back, I was searching around and came across an unusual video. It was of a car on top of a 4-wheel flat wagon that had been converted to run on the rails, in a sort of rolling road style. I can't for the life of me seem to find the video, as the fool I was I didn't seem to bookmark it. If anyone knows the video I mean and finds it, I would appreciate the help.

billyb_imp Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I just love that Snowdrift at Bleath Gill video & haven't seen it for a while, and with Deryck Guyler (Korky) narrating what a classic. Great idea for the videos but you may become a victim of success if you start getting a lot placed here, likely you will need an index for them.
