Film link - Hydraulics at Marylebone, 9min, steam at start

['CHARD]

Assuming that this works when posted, click to enjoy all manner of classic Paddington traction diverted into Marylebone in 1967. It is breathtaking.

Excellent! Thank you for posting that. Can I suggest that you edit the title a bit to encourage the steam fans too.

I loved the music and was trying to remember what programmes the theme tunes were for.

 

It did remind me of why I don't like the period though. DMU's in mixed liveries-Yuk. Classic green and maroon loco's ruined by FYE's-double Yuk. And what on Earth possessed them to change the lovely coaching stock maroon for blue/grey?

 

However, we must be thankful that there were people to record the scene, and this wonderful facility to watch it. Again, many thanks

Here here, thanks for posting this - marvellous!

I too was trying to remember which TV programme had used the music, second to last track... A comedy series methinks but which one..?

Excellent videos! I think I recognise Dr Finlay's casebook, Harry Worth, Top of the Form & (possibly) Sportsview in there.
