Summer_Saturday Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 An excellent find. Especially good detail of mixed freights of the period. Well worth watching some of his other videos as well under the "More From" section on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
10800 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Good quality stuff - nothing less powerful than a Type 4 though apart from an EE Type 3 on a container train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim H Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 A lot of the passenger trains show the full formation too - love the maroon Gresley buffet at the end of the blue/grey Mk1 rake at Teighmouth. What was the passenger vehicle used as a brake van on the ECML Frightliner? BG or Mk1 Suburban brake? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClikC Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I think there is only one response to that video, which is the Flailing of arms and the exclamation of 'HELLFIRE'! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Top quality stuff , does anyone know where the hydraulic stuff originates from Phill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Top quality stuff , does anyone know where the hydraulic stuff originates from Phill It looks very much like one of the tapes I have from Video 125. I wonder if the material will be on YouTube much longer? Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the material will be on YouTube much longer? Geoff Endacott I suspected as much Geoff, the split headcode Peak looked like a clip from 'Diesels & Electrics on 35mm' (volume one), do you have any idea which volume the Warship's footage is from ?

Pete Piszczek Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Based on past response times, I expect these will be gone quickly. Some of this material has been on youtube before. Once it's posted, it's easy to download and save, so I expect there will be reappearances from time to time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
62659 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Some of that stuff's on (as noted above) "Diesels & Electrics on 35mm" and I'm fairly certain that the Type 4s on Liner Trains is from one of the BTF series, "Forward to First Principles", I think. I have them both on video but until I've watched them again... Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfield_Park Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I had a glance at these earlier on, and absolutely loved them. I have yet to see a Warship actually moving in reality so I like to see them on film, especially amongst the Green Peaks and 47's with 'real' maroon abd blue/grey Mk1s. Much enjoyed.

Pennine MC Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 What was the passenger vehicle used as a brake van on the ECML Frightliner? BG or Mk1 Suburban brake? The shot was dark, but I think it was a suburban BS Good quality stuff - nothing less powerful than a Type 4 though apart from an EE Type 3 on a container train. There's some 31s, 27s and 33s on the second one, not to mention various DMUs - a nice sequence with a 114 alongside some Lincolnshire waterway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I like the 105s with one car in blue and the other in green! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoastmtb Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 very inspiring footage, a good way to look back at freight and stock of the era Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D826 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Ohhhhhh, just had a bad day at work and came across this - first of all thanks - transported me back to very happy holidays in South Devon circa 71 onwards and head is whizzing from double headed Warships, 4 in quick succession at the end of Smugglers Lane - (you could stand there for hours now and just see 142s and Voyagers every half hour or so), a blue and maroon double headed Warship combo heading under my favourite place to hold up my parents returns to the Beach Hotel after a day at Coryton Cove with me facing the sea wall, not the sea, - the Beach Hotel on Marine Parade - (The Beach Hotel Owen the Rail !!), the lower quadrant outer home at the entrance to Kennaway tunnel with that wonderful sighting board - Westerns - proper locos, proper trains, Sonning Cutting - Two tone green 47s, proper freight with brake vans, conflats, More Westerns, Proper trains with hydraulics, (that lovely high revving noise) - motorail flats - Ford Transits (!), proper trains (shame there's no milk trains or siphons)......... I'm sorry it isn't my rose tinted specs is it - it really was that good then. I am off to lie down. Matt Wood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerhillboy Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Is there any DVD titles that include footage of this standard that folks can recommend. Its superb to see such high quality footage from this era. I'd love to get my hands on some DVDs of this nature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gra Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The coach in the first bit of freightliner footage certainly looks like a blue Mk1 suburban brake but what is the maroon coach in the later freightliner film? Looks like the roof may have been modified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
