Useful Youtube videos

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)

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.

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.
