Falcon, the official film about the locomotive which was made by Brush
Saw this a few times, the only one I remember was Exeter on a Northbound train station when the driver let us up into the cab, 69/70?
The grime seems to be synonemen for the UK of that time.
“I001” the Carpet cleaner
From the days we used to make stuff. We need to go back to this and stop importing.
That's the worst filming I've ever seen
That poor train Marshall😂 he's going to end up in a mental asylum by the end of this😂😂😂
I remember this at Sheffield Victoria Station around 1964 or '65.
The Derbyshire footage appears to be showing the old Monsal Head viaduct over the River Wye. Now closed but developed into a brilliant cycle and walking route. This stretch of line was about three miles south of the busy countryside junction at Millersdale which forms part of the same cycle and walking route. Sad we've lost this stretch of line and a magnificent loco but all is not lost with this wonderful location.
I nearly bought one of these but couldnt find a railway that would let me leave her there to work on - end of line.☹ I love the H&S these days ( or rather the lack of it) bloke welding 4:12 right next to his mate who has no goggles or protection on FAG in his mouth🤣😂😅 9:11 British craftsmanship at its best - NO SPRAY GUNS in thise days - COACH PAINTED! I always wondered why the old locos shined like a Rolls Royce..........THAT is why , SUPERB.
The bridge crossing where Regan says ID HATE TO BE THE ONE WHO WRITES THIS ONE UP is North Worple way , East Sheen SW london.❤

Love these old movies showing manufacture in the 50s and 60s. Just a show of human ingenuity.
The last scene is not north of Kings Cross; more likely southern region with 3rd rail power. Great load of clips, manythanks.
What was the diesel at 6.51? a Class 37 or a Deltic?
❤
A different age; not perfect, but a sh@tload better than today.
Why does the engine rev up and down like that?
It'd hard to know maybe the engine didn't have throttle
Falcon: I’m a good machine, please build my sisters so I’m a class of 53s! British Railways: No! No! That will never do! Build over a hundred Class 17s instead! Falcon: :(
A very smart looking locomotive. Excellent film. Nice to hear Richard Baker.
Best crime drama ever, can almost smell and taste grimey and gritty seventies London, thanks for the memories.
Nice video. The sites and sounds of slam door London. I find that scene with the 4CIG at Mortlake in Sweeney 2 particularly memorable, with the hissing rails of the approaching train adding to the tension. Notice how in the scene immediately prior, when Regan and Carter are climbing the stairs of the footbridge, the sound of a diesel locomotive and coaches is dubbed on as the CIG passes!
Great British stuff❤❤
If not for the experts, for most us in the world, (I suspect) who haven't a clue how to invent, design & construct machines etc, I suspect we would still be in the Dark Ages
i grew up near the railway line. the bridge the trains went under was just 100 yards from my home. i spent my childhood playing on the old line. the bridge was filled in long ago and the old rail line is now a bypass.
There was an attempt to preserve the line, but the local residents campaigned against it and permission was refused. In one sense the preservationists had the last laugh though - when the crane came along to lift the track, it accidentally demolished the overhead power lines to the objectors'' houses!
During the 70's this Loco FALCON (Class 53) was always to be found on Ebbw Junction Shed in Newport Gwent until 1976 & always carried the old number 1200 as it was not allocated a TOPS number, it was in the old BR blue colour scheme, I believe it was scrapped @ Newport in Cashmore's scrap merchants, just a shame it was not saved to put into York Railway Museum.
The scene at 11.25 looks like Old Oak Common depot. The incline line is familiar to me and the water the woman threw the case into was the Grand Union canal in west London.
Stratford Sidings was actually called Thornton Fields Carriage Sidings. It was even named as that in the show. It's where the Olympic stadium now stands.
Sweet, great scenes from the old smoke...
Back in June 1969 I did a weekend camp at Longmoor and we were shown around the running shed and taken up to the O Gauge model railway which was controlled using real signalling equipment as can be seen in this film. I seem to recall one of the model engines was a Royal Scot but it was painted up in LMR livery. We spent most of our time firing weapons and were taken to the Parachute Regiment Trainasium at Aldershot and all of the maniac cadets from Bishops Waltham ACF went around it! I remember climbing the tower up the rigging and thinking: "It's a bloody long way down if you fall!" and stopping there.
As embarrassing as spelling embarrassing wrong?
That was brilliant lived in inner London as a kid so was surrounded 😅by them, but you woodnt find it easy filming so close to railways and so many Thank you xx ❤
Dennis waterman is a great runner ❤❤❤
Long moor military railway was closed in1968 after a open day for soldier's who trained there for world war two to return with their families as I did with my late father who served in the Royal engineers from 1939 to 47 long moor was used for signal instruction and track laying maintenence and loco mangment
Am I imagining it, but wasn't there usually a tiny mouse somewhere in the finished painting?
Well, they shouldn't have bothered really as it has all the tractive effort of a three-legged mouse... They would've had more success with a rearward pointing hairdryer sellotaped to a pump truck/spare bogie. Oh well, what's done is done, I suppose.
"My name is Amber Spottiswood. I'm headmistress of St Trinians and I'm claiming the reward for the train robbery. Oh my goodness they're going the other way."
Fantastic film.
I was at paddington last month certainly no 47s 52s or dmus there anymore and of course no mk 1 coaches anymore

To be pedantic, Brush type 2 construction. Only became class 31 under tops AND after replacement of the Mirlees engines by English electric units.

That’s Peter Grant (manager of Led Zeppelin) @7:26
out of curiosity, Robin Gibb, one of the 3 of the Bee Gees group, was in this accident, that by an inch he was not decapitated, this event changed his personality drastically, he best expresses this in the song "I Started a Joke" from the album Idea

Didnt recognise the last station at all...
Those were the days when we had an industry and a happy low paid work force content with fish and chips on a Friday and footy match on Saturday, pruning roses outside ones smart council house on Sunday.
A fine example of dedicated railwaymen on both sides of the border, doing a good job in what were often difficult circumstances, not only because of terrorists, but from government intransigence with lack of commitment and funding.
I miss the filth.
