And no grafitti to be seen anywhere!

It is surprising, when one looks at 'red and cream' preserved carriages now, just how bright BR's original carmine and cream was.

@@johnjephcote7636 Although, back in the day, there was often a coating of grime over the paint. On preserved railways locos and carriages are way cleaner than I remember from the 1950's. I visited Doncaster Works in 1958 and Swindon in 1962 and to see locos ex-works was such a contrast to how they normally looked. It was breathtaking to this spotter!

@@MrDavil43 Indeed! Though, as a painter, I still believe that shade of carmine was exceptionally bright! I will never forget, at Crewe, in 1959 seeing a glistening British Legion (ex-Fury!) in the paint shop, having its tender transfer applied, all lining having been completed.

And he gets Wivelsfield wrong as well..........but a wonderful Film, I spent many Happy Hours travelling back Home to Lewes, and my dear Wife came from Plumpton, born in one of the LBSC Railway Houses there.

Problem is that the British people are easily scared. The lockdown is another to our eternal democratic shame.

No thank you for your deluded comments.

More than likely unfamiliar with the area

Sadly not all the classes of locomotive have been lucky to survive the cutters torch for them to record authentic sounds for them. Also doubt that they would have had the budget to do so, and don't believe that you could record both video and audio simultaneously in the earlier shots

⁠@@jameswright7284 She’s talking out of her hat, with bad language to boot. This is a quite superb documentary! The shots of the Brighton Baltic tanks are precious and rare. And the smog atmosphere at New Cross is terrible but memorable as to be expected on any day (thank heavens a thing of the past!). The lifting of a passenger’s car on board a ferry boat is fascinating. When I made my very first crossing of the Channel with my magnificent (sorry but memories are made of this as sang by Sinatra!) Vincent HRD 500cc also being ‘lifted’ in similar fashion albeit with no wheel board…Ah those were the days back in 1956! Many many thanks for this excellent doc’ …Locowise amazing Brighton fan, believing that the other two looked down on Billinton’s designs…The rebuilding of the Baltics didn’t even re classify them properly as in Brighton/Central Section style they ought to have been classified as L1X…L for their original start L1 for a new class which they became then L1X for the X denoting they were rebuilds…Instead we got N15 for a sort of King Arthur class then the Brighton X to denote rebuilds into that class (which even on that Western classification should’ve become N16 as a “new class” … Maunsell probably turned down any suggestion of a “L1X” classification because of coming to close to his excellent Eastern Section L1 4:4:0s….Excellent documentary and heartfelt thanks to you for your magnificent efforts…

How so?

Probably just a silly troll who can't understand why footage filmed in the 1930s isn't in 4K or understands that these sort of things were one take audio recordings

@@jameswright7284 Idiot remark.
