I was 14 then and could well've been there, 1975-1982 were my spotting years, oh how I wish I could go back...............

I was at that Derby open day. I saw those Deltics at Doncaster work around that time too.

Superb video Trevor, great to see all the various classes of loco. Access all areas for everyone by the looks of it! Great viewing.Regards, Jeff.

Thanks Jeff,all those super engines and you were able to access to most of them as you say.Happy Times then....Trevor.''

I'm pretty sure I was at this open day at Derby, being 14 at the time. I keep scrutinising it carefully to see if I'm on it, but no luck yet. The plethora of parkas, football kit bags, and long hair certainly takes me back.

It so great to see these old 'classics' not getting lost. Great refurb on the cine footage. Thanks for the share and take care.

Went to Derby and Donny a couple of times Allan.Our John and some of his pals went to Crewe but i never went there.They were great days seeing all these different locos....Regards....Trevor.''

Wonderful! BR Blue era open days were awesome! ....The health and safety bods would have a coronary if people went within 10ft of a loco these days. Sadly those old times, (responsibility and common sense), have passed by and people are kept behind safety barriers to look through their phones at things. At least kids will be able to watch this video on their phones ....Happy Days Trevor!

Exactly what I was going to say as I went to Doncaster open day on 17/6/78 and Derby open day in early August 1978....even had a relief service from Birmingham N St to Derby hauled by 37106 that day and got to view a couple of the SSO services at Derby behind a pair of 25s and a Open Day Special behind a pair of 31s... saw 832,7076 and the other hymek and a Clayton on the Derby-Stoke line on the return to Crewe.....quite a day for a 12 year old at the time.... great footage from the rail blue era with 45067, first class 45 to be withdrawn and 55020 Nimbus at Doncaster also never to run again along with 55001 St Paddy, both just empty shells with their engines removed, I remember running through number 1 and being amazed at the emptiness of the inside.... at least they both had their nameplates still in situ..... thanks for the memories Andrew Lawrence Newport
