A wonderful insight. A bit 37 heavy for the duration.

I discovered this haven in 1984, and the Tunsteads were in the hands of CLASS 40s with 37010 shunting between Dove Holes Q. And the reception sidings. Subsequently I travelled across from Lincolnshire frequently up till around 2001, having seen any changes, especially in motive power. My all time favourite thrash was 45004 Royal Irish Fusilier with 30 Loaded MSV tipplers...( I think it may have been directed along the Hope Valley route.) Not sure of the year, maybe 1984 or 5.

@spompey

4 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately I missed that era, Only discovering the location around 1986/7 By then 37s and 31s were the main motive power. I found this location to be one of my favourites too as the changes were almost upon every visit I made. The introduction of the 60s then 59s after came the 66s. I must give the area another visit....Many thanks Timothy for your interest....mark

Lots of good diesel thrash in here! Must have been one of the great places to go for the hardcore freight fan.

at 34:30 watch 37 with 22 loaded ICI bogie stone wagons thrash them away; even the driver salutes his loco; what no banker; from what I have read, each wagon weighed 22 tons and could carry 43 plus tons, So this train weight is circa 1400; that's impressive

Thank you for watching I use a rather antiquated method at present Firstly I play my VHS video on a Panasonic GMR-EZ48V DVD/VHS recorder. I either can record directly onto a recordable DVD on that machine, monitoring it on my TV (Connected via HDMI Cable) at the same time. My Panasonic DVD recorder is near the end of it's life and a replacement is hard to find. I can either, and I have tried a few but seem to give a lesser quality result than the previous method, experimented with various VHS to DVD converter hardware available at high street stores or online. I have yet to try out my EasyCap USB Video and Audio Capture device I acquired recently. It seems that you connect it directly to a VHS Player by means of Phono leads (Supplied) to your PC (USB) and use the software supplied. That would be my first go. The device is very cheap and looks very simple to set up. I just do not know what resolutions it gives, I hope it would be MP4 format..which is what I convert the VHS into ultimately....I hope this helps you and do let me know if your results are satisfactory...Best wishes gor the new year too....Mark
