Almost 50 minutes of action from the mid 90s at locations like Peak Forest, Mobberley, Northwich and Oakleigh Yard plus a couple of other locations along the route. I used to chase these trains between various points and most drivers would be well aware of this as can be seen from some of the shots. Locos featured are 686,518,417,675,503 and 108. I've hours and hours of footage of these workings so I may well put some more online. I filmed these trains right up until the use of the PHV hoppers finished, along with a few dedicated other 'regulars', I'm sure they know who they are and this footage is dedicated to them all. We must have been mad at times to brave all those long freezing cold hours up in the hills, waiting for the' hoppers', but looking back now, it was worth it and if I could turn back the clock I'd do it all again !
Enjoy !
