woodenhead Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I think this video exemplifies what it was like to watch trains on a summer Saturday.... Watching the locos with only a passing interest in the HSTs and yet now I mourn the passing of the Paxman Valenta engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 75C Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Lovely video but crikey, that little 03's not hanging about! It's like a little terrier nipping at your ankles... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 IIRC shunters never did, they had a top speed and the drivers used it to the max. Perhaps they were worried they might stall on the points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 The chap that posted them has quite a few, I think he used to go by the username Aureol. Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/user/aureol40012/videos?flow=grid&view=0 I used to shun Piccadilly because it was all electrics and multiple units, perhaps there was more traction variety than I thought. Funny though I would happily go to Crewe for electrics but not bother with the station a quick bus ride away. Too late, it's all units now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
