Aw I know, tho now there’s a good mix of heritage and newer diesels , can’t beat the distant thump thump of a pair of 37’s on full load in the night air 😍
Just had to froth over this one, as like my own film from here, they are a modellers dream. Shame the choppers never came off at the end, and i even recognised a couple of the enthusiasts there. Great film.
Worked at Ravenscraig Steelworks for over 20 years and regularly sat with the driver in the pilot loco on the triple headers. Unfortunately the Health & Safety police have fenced off this spot & spoiled the best viewing area in Scotland.
10:30 in deffo 37373 (160) with the cut away shirting beam, more than likely it's regular partners 37370 / 37379 with it but can't tell, front one is 373 though.
This video just shows the important role Glasgow had in industry back then. 08733 was nice to see at those coils, a 350hp loco shifting the same amount of coils as 40 350hp lorries would do!
Railfanning is so bloody boring these days....no cabooses, locomotives all look the same, no scare stripes..mostly auto- racks or containers.......thankfully we have the 'Tube.
Unfortunately the costs involved in operating wagonload freight was the main reason we no longer have it. Something like 80% of the cost was due to marshalling remarshalling and local trip workings. BR just couldn't afford it.
This just goes to show me how boring modern freight is. All wagons are the same, very little variation in block traffic and the loco's are box's on wheels. Bring back the steam days, when loco's breathed life and there were interesting shunting movements to be seen in a yard.
Absolutely priceless footage. Massive thanks for uploading... I am looking to model 1990 at Mossend so have been doing research for a couple of years. Keep the Scottish stuff coming!
@@yesterdaystracks Many thanks, hope you have loads more vids like these! . . Just Lima models back in the 90's, most enjoyable to do/research. And apologies, but worse than that, i had a lco driver for a girlfriend, once!!! Lol I seem to have had a fair bit of luck, i'd say, although i would never of met her if i'd chosen not to be a dj named trainspotter, so that was planned lol !?!!! Mad universe this eh :D
Hi, no sorry after several house moves my notebooks haven’t been seen for a good number of years sadly , the film case was dated July so that’s all I have to go on
It’s a convoluted way but works well for me, I connect up my vhs player to my dvd recorder then rip that to the computer , tried loads of video cards for PC and none I liked , if you want them digitised I charge £15 a tape and you get a DVD and the file to download.
