Waverley47708 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I think there are some new videos of ScotRail in 1989 on YouTube . Great video of Falkirk Grahamston and Queen St in 1989 and another video of Queen Street itself in 1989. 37s, 47s 26s 107s 101s Push Pulls, HSTs 150s and 156s . Don’t know how to do the link but go into YouTube and look up contributor Soi Buakhao. Great stuff. If you search Soi Buakhao on you tube you get some interesting videos! Perhaps best as Legend says to search under contributed or uploader. Best of all subscribe to them and you get emails when they upload something new. Anywhere here it is, great video except for the Sprinters of course.

luckymucklebackit Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 OK it is stretching it a bit - but if we allow 1990 into scope - I posted a series of five videos taken on one day at Mossend in 1990 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ47SReq68g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi-JOlzPyfI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NHMdk992RQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSb7uihfSDQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcoEMkEJLY4 Jim 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor_37260 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm aware a couple of Exec ScotRail MK3 coaches were originally trial painted with a darker Blue Stripe, and rejected by CG. However did any MK2D/E coaches get a darker Blue stripe, if only temporarily, possibly a TSO(T) ? TIA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted July 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks for doing the Links Waverley. A great series of videos . Actually there’s lots more around the U.K. . Such a lot of freight at Grahmston, you forget that in today’s passenger orientated Railway. The scenes at Queen Street superb with HST blocking the throat , 107s Push Pulls. Took me right back.

Anyone know what these short trains were? Did they combine with other trains from Edinburgh at Carstairs to continue south in a bigger consist?

Anyone know what these short trains were? Did they combine with other trains from Edinburgh at Carstairs to continue south in a bigger consist? Exactly correct Adrian. Yes these are the Glasgow portions of trains which split at Carstairs . There would be an Edinburgh portion of 4 or 5 coaches . I think these were mainly Birmingham and Manchester trains although some would be from further afield . I remember my first job away to Sheffield catching "The European" which at that time left Glasgow Central went to Carstairs where a portion joined , then behind the electric from Glasgow ,went onto Preston where a 47 substituted . Then onto Manchester Victoria then extended to Sheffield, where I got off . However it did go onto Harwich to connect with ferries , hence the name. So there were quite a few services that split at Carstairs that continued on behind the original electric to Glasgow Central. I think the catering car always went to Glasgow. In these days the Carstairs - Edinburgh line wasn't electrified , so it was typically a 47 that took them forward Edited July 24, 2018 by Legend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley47708 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 What looks like the Edinburgh portion of this type of service appears in this video. At 36 seconds and again at 2 min 30 seconds. Have got carriage working for Midland Region from 1985 or 6 so have combined portion, buffet coach was unusually in the middle of combined portion. Days out spotting at Waverley usually started by getting one of the two that stopped at Inverkeithing on Saturday mornings. I understand the Edinburgh portion arrived (including the service from Dundee and Aberdeen) first at Carstairs the loco facing towards Glasgow, the Glasgow portion arrived and the Edinburgh portion was pushed back to combine with the Glasgow portion. The diesel from Edinburgh would be detached and the rest of the combined train headed South. Northbound combined services would arrive into Carstairs on the Glasgow line. The train would split. The electric hauled train continued on the Glasgow line whilst the diesel hauled portion would head round the tight bend to Edinburgh. Both directions of travel Edinburgh passengers would reverse at Carstairs as far as the direction of travel was concerned. Have seen photos of 20s and 26s on Edinburgh portions, however normally these would be 47s. One of Trevor Ledgeway's rare videos from Scotland shows an Edinburgh portion arrive. And then a combined portion from the South splitting and the Edinburgh portion heading to Waverley TSO TSO BFK TSO TSO RMB seemed a common arrangement for the Edinburgh portions. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnH Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks for posting the links. I've just watched a few minutes of the Inverness video - absolutely brilliant! The mixed Speedlink hauled by a 37 with a Deltic DIT at around 22.00 is fascinating. Great to see an OBA with round timber loaded across the width of the wagon.

Waverley47708 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Another great video, with the exception of 47712 in Large Logo and a GWR liveried Inspection Saloon everything is BR Blue Grey. The film is well set out starting at Inverness and workings its way round various locations. Enjoy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 My first ever sighting of a class 26. As I entered Inverness station on the 17th September 1981 this was the wonderful sight that greeted me! I think the leading loco maybe 26038. 26021 & 26023 also at Inverness. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
