12.20 seconds in AWESOME.... Takes me straight back to that period in time. The Thrash , Noise & that gorgeous traction motor whine! Gawd damn i miss those times.
Awesome video Jake but I wish you could get hold of a Tardis and ask your Dad to film more of the old DMUs accelerating out of the stations so we could hear those rasping exhausts again. Most of us weren't impressed with them then but we like them now.
Love those DMUs 6:05 - coupled up to a 'new' one lol 12:33 really is fantastic! I grew up in suburban Surrey so it was all DMU's and EMU's so we didn't travel on much diesel hauled stuff. I think the 40s are becoming a favourite. 15:55 day before my 12th birthday and 22:30 my sisters 16th birthday!
Top video of these whistling beasts at work and we still got a few left as I thought more than 7 would have been preserved as they was popular locos like class 37s are I liked the split box 40s and central headcodes the best but great memories from a bye gone era 😎
I really love the old diesel locos and am nostalgic in terms of all things railway but so much has changed in terms of emissions, noise and fuel consumption. Also of course a privatised railway.
Dearie me, Bolton looked a bit run down then. I like the Magical Disappearing Class 120 DMU. That must be a rare glimpse of a Class 506 EMU on video as well.
