This film was taken the following day from the Lostock Hall video. It was one of the many charters that day all over the country. The official last day was the following week 11th. August 1968 (invitation only) This one was the Stockport (Bahamas) Locomotive Society Manchester Victoria to Carnforth with Black 5 no. 45156 "Ayrshire Yeomanry" (never got the headcode) Sunday 4th. August 1968.
Once again may I point out, this film was taken on a basic 8mm cine camera, which I had to wind up and lasted 25 seconds....then wind up again. The film came on 50' spools, which had to be turned over after 25', then continue on the other side of the spool.
So it was not easy to obtain continuity, so if you see gaps in the filming....this is why.
Having said all that, I still hope you enjoy my video which I have tried to enhance as best I can.
There is strict copyright on this video, please do not copy or share without permission....thank you.
