Although the ride is on a first generation Diesel Multiple Unit, before leaving Paddington we watch steam activity from the end of platform 1, and many steam-hauled passing trains, both passenger and freight, are seen from the front seats of the DMU. A passing steam train is also seen during a break of journey at Slough, and after arrival at Reading.

A valuable and probably unique bit of footage from days when you could see where you were going. The drivers didn't think a lot of having an audience looking over their shoulders. Thanks for sharing

. This is indeed a real gem of a film. My mother would take us to Reading General to watch the trains- when it was time to go, I would throw myself face down on the platform- and would have to be dragged away by a foot until I got up and walked. My grandmother made a point of pronouncing Sonning as Sunning which is the correct way- although few did. Sonning Common in Oxfordshire, "Sunning" in Berkshire. I am afraid we tried not to look at the engines at Reading Southern as they were always filthy- unlike most of the Western engines at the adjacent Reading General- we were diminutive loco spotting snobs. When I return to Reading, I wonder where the town I knew as a child went.

Does anyone know of any footage online of the journey from Maidenhead to High Wycombe via Bourne End? My first memory of a ride on a train was when I was about 3 and we were living in Maidenhead. My grandparents came to stay, and my grandpa (a steam enthusiast) took me on a train "where you could look out of the driver's window". I'm sure it was the HW line. The driver saw me looking through the internal window behind him, and at the next station he invited me into the cab "to help him drive". I was in my element, and the memory has stayed with me. All the section from Bourne End to High Wycombe is long gone.

Wow - this is the very first time I've seen a colour image of one of the last 1940's 'original' Swindon built GWR Diesel Railcars (W33W or perhaps W38W) painted in green with cream whiskers at 2:52 - this rarity not even mentioned in the commentary - although the red & cream version at 2:20 was almost noticed! Number 22 is still running at Didcot in brown & cream.

maybe of interest, in RAIL issue 976 on the last page there is a photo of a GWR 2-8-0 standing at Maidenhead in blizzard conditions, by the signal box (which I think is the one @5:17) taken 31st December 1961 by Mike Pert. It interesting to stand at present day Maidenhead station platform and compare with how it was.

@davidpnewton
@davidpnewton 2 года назад
It's not "an unidentifiable King class" at all. There are a maximum of five locos that it can be since there is very clearly I as the Roman numeral at the end of the nameplate. That means that it must either be King George I, King Charles I, King James I, King Edward I or King Richard I. Looking at the nameplate lengths again it's clear that the text is too short to be King James I leaving four possible choices.

Hello Alan - I hope you have already but you do realise that these films should be lodged with the National Railway Museum? They're a wonderful record, not only of the trains and railways but the local scenery of that time - and they're in colour. They should be stored and preserved, no question about it. If you haven't already, I do hope you consider it. Thanks.

Hallo Alan Hope you will still get to read these comments. I am the Chairman of the Foremarke Hall Group, who rescued our loco from Barry and it is now fully restored and working on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway ( www.gwsr.com ) . It is great to see some original BR footage of 7903 (not 7909 as the commentary says) in action. Can I please have your permission to put a link on our website www.7903foremarkehall.co.uk, to this page Best Regards Jim Clarke

As I'm not at all Knowledgable on things GWR, I must appologise for getting the number wrong. Those cast numbers God's Wonderful Railway provided are not the easiest to read, and I don't have a spotter's ABC book with your loco listed. Unfortunately it would be an awful job to change this once the .avi file has been created and uploaded. I'll be honoured if you put a link to my video on your website, by all means please do. Best of luck with your work on Foremark Hall, Alan S.

NO! Back in 1960 we didn't have video for 'consumers.' Film, even 8mm film, was expensive, to the young fellow I was then. And you had to send the exposed film back to the makers for processing, then wait a week or two before you could see what you'd shot. It WAS edited as film, I used to spend a lot of time at that, with quite primative equipment. So please beleive that this IS the FULL version.
