Chigley - Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train

Фильм және анимация

This is one of my favourite series of Trumptonshire - Chigley. This scene is where the song sang "Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train" where Lord Belborough and his Butler, Brackett drive Bessie the old railway steam engine down the line!
Hope u enjoy the vid!!! ^_^
Rest in Peace, Brian Cant (12th July 1933 - 19th June 2017)
(NOTE: I do not own this video!)
Here's the lyric of this song:
Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate there and back again
Under bridges over bridges to our destination
Puffing through the countryside there's so much to be seen.
Passengers waving as we steam through a station.
Stoke up fireman for the signal is at green.
Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate there and back again
In the cutting, through the tunnel,
Rushing clanking on the track.
Wheezing pistons, smoking funnels,
Turning wheels go clickety clack.
Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate there and back again.

It causes a few strange looks but soon all who are of the same age will automatically join in... I wonder how many other children programs will be looked back on after 40 yrs which such fond memories.

    Forty five years on, I find it difficult to remember which characters lived in the three towns. I know it was the Trumpton Fire Brigade and the Mayor was in Trumpton but was Pippin Fort in Chigley or Camberwick Green? Windy Miller, I think was Camberwick Green, but what about Chippy Minton? I am guessing Chigley, but I am not sure. Since Cameron and May's Tory governments relaxed the planning laws, I bet the three small towns are just one big conurbation by now, without a green field between them. I bet they are all threatened by hydro-fracking as well. Sigh, they do not make rose-tinted glasses like they used to!
