Ermo Railways

Railway videos from the 1990s/2000s.

I started watching trains on the Lickey Incline at the tender age of 4 way back in the days of steam. Have been photographing and videoing the railway scene on and off ever since.

Locations include, The Lickey Incline, Stafford and Crewe on the West Coast Main Line, Newport and Cardiff in South Wales and Dawlish in Devon.

Huge vintage diesel fan and go to as many Galas as I can.

    Actually the person who said that the class 37 couldn’t or probably was to weak to pull the 60 and unloaded metals up the incline is probably wrong because that’s a 37/7 and along with the 37/8 and 37/9s they were the most powerful in-fact they were the same power as the 56s and 58s they were the modified versions they had tractive effort of 62.000 lb and weighed 120 tons so yeah that 37/7 could of defo hauled that train by itself

    Alot more 37s working than I remember. It was mostly 31s and 20s when we were spotting . Gargoyles and Choppers . We certainly burnt alot of coal back then, never gave all the Mgr trains a thought. Except for ' what was on the front ' lol. Another little gem of how busy Bescot used to be. Eagerly awaiting the next video. Big thanks for taking the time to upload and share . 👍👍😀😎😎😎

    Great comment, thanks for taking the time. Next upload may take a while - my laptop crashed and the one I'm " borrowing" hasn't got a DVD player. I'm slowly working my back through time though so there should be more 20s, 31s and 37s to come !

    Oh happy days !! My first job on BR was checker, Dorridge in 73. I used to assist with scotching the cartic fours an private owner carflats for MAT. Back then they did not have the screens on. They came about after many lineside stone throwing incidents, smashing glass usually but body damage too. And the Didcot Dusties!! Don't get caught lineside as they pass, it's like being shot with a machine gun 🤣🤣
