Built by English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry in Newton-Le-Willows, Class 50 represents the last mixed traffic diesel type to be built for British Rail and, at the end of its career was one of only three classes of diesel capable of 100mph duties.
The Railscene programme was started in 1984, three years before the first ‘Hoover’ was withdrawn (it only required an F exam!).
Four and a half years later less than ten of the original fifty fifties remained in use.
This dvd includes thirty-two of the class in action, it is compiled from the Railscene archives and is a tribute to probably the last of the ‘great’ express diesel class.
Opener: A classic view the ‘Dutch fifty’, ‘Valient’ and plain blue ‘Thunderer’, as they cross the River Tamar on the Saltash bridge with Pathfinder Railtours ‘Cornish Centurian’.
Part One: Fifty Miscellany – Variety is the spice of life.
We start with railtours: ‘Courageous’ and ‘Victorious’ on the WCML.
The ‘Fellsman II’ at Long Meg, ‘Sir Edward Elgar’ on Windsor Gala Day and an unscheduled duty for ‘Archilles’ banking ‘Drysllywn Castle’ and ‘Hagley Hall’ up Dainton Bank complete these mid-80s views.
The former DCWA celebrities are seen at Penzance (Dutch ‘Valient’ again) and double-heading at Truro and Ocean sidings.
More double-heading follows with ‘Ark Royal’ and ‘Furious’ at Par on the last official loco-hauled train from Newquay.
‘St. Vincent’, ‘Furious’, ‘Glorious’ and ‘Howe’ are seen on passenger duties at Lostwithiel, Ledbury, Aldermaston and Old Oak Common, whilst crash victim ‘Invincible’ and the first to go, ‘Centurian’ are seen looking sad.
‘Exeter’ works a passenger turn near Stoke-on-Trent in 1988 and ‘Archilles’ a freight from Parkandillack.
The unique 50149 ‘Defiance’ is seen on ‘the Heathfield’ at Cutmadoc in addition to views on a Meldon quarry trip working.
Another celebrity, ‘Ramillies’, heads the HST ‘generator set’ at Severn Tunnel Junction in 1989 and ‘Victorious’ provides rare footage at Winfrith and Wool with the track recording train.
Large logo celebrity ‘Hood’ works ECS near Romsey and ‘Lion’ is diverted via the Southampton mainline: ‘Superb’ and ‘Temeraire’ are seen in action at Southampton and Portsmouth.
Finally ‘Dauntless’ climbs the Portsmouth Direct Line at Rowlands Castle in 1989.
Part Two: Waterloo to Exeter (‘The Last Stand’).
‘Fearless’, D400, ‘Ajax’, ‘Lion’, ‘Renown’, ‘Resolution’, ‘Glorious’, ‘Tiger’, ‘Vanguard’, ‘Defiance’, ‘Dauntless’, ‘Eagle’, ‘Repulse’, ‘Exeter’, ‘Illustrious’, ‘Thunderer’, ‘Victorious’, ‘Royal Oak’, ‘Sir Edward Elgar’, ‘Leviathan’, ‘Swiftsure’, ‘Dreadnought’ and ‘Temeraire’ in action on Table 125 duties.
We start at Waterloo with 50050 on the very last newspaper train and the same loco as D400, arriving on its inaugural run.
Other locations are New Covent Garden, Clapham Junction (‘top n’ tail’ ECS), Wimbledon, Byfleet, Newhaw, Woking, Brookwood, Farnborough, Fleet, Basingstoke, Battledown, Overton, Whitchurch, Hurstbourne, Andover (50008 in large logo), Grateley, Tunnel Junction,
The Salisbury sequence (046, 043, a failed 007 and substitute 033), Wilton, Barford Street, Martin, Dinton, Tisbury, Gillingham, (‘Renown’ in freezing fog and ‘Dauntless’ doubleheading wih 47707), Buckhorn Weston, Templecombe, Milborne Port, Sherborne, Yeovil Junction – in 1986, Crewkerne, Chard Junction, Seaton Junction, (a diverted Paddington-Penzance train in 1985, ‘Ajax’ at the Summit, Honiton (HST and ‘Repulse’ pass), Whimple (1985), Exmouth Junction, Exeter Central and Exeter St. Davids.
Running time: 60 minutes approx
The BR blue era. A Class 45 heads a matching rake of blue and white coaches south near Mexborough. Today, this view from Queen Street, would only show the two tracks nearest the camera and a lot of bushes.
Five Commonwealth/Australian National Railways CL class streamliners lead a Westliner express freight service.
DB Class 90 No.90026 tucked in between 66041 and 90024 passes Yealands,with the 07:01 Mossend Euroterminal to Daventry working,on the 6th of July 20201.
GBRF Class 66 No.66707 heads towards Upton Scudamore,with the 10:14 Westbury to Eastleigh East Yard light engine working,on the 19th of April 2022.
I remember travelling to Bristol and beyond in 1974 and being horrified at seeing Class 25's, I'd expected to see nothing but Westerns and Hymeks (and withdrawn Warships), in my state of shock I took this photo (into the sun of course) as proof that the Western Region was no longer the hydraulic Mecca I thought it to be.
I think 7507 was allocated to Bristol Bath Road at the time, although Cardiff Canton (not too far away) did have a larger allocation.
Date: 3rd March, 1974.
Electro-Motive Diesel Inc. Type JT42CWR Class 66 Co-Co diesel locomotive 66596 working the 451B 04:57 (12:38 7L) Manchester Trafford Park- Felixstowe North Freightliner intermodal service at speed northbound at Kelvedon Station on The Great Eastern Main Line in Essex (UK).
66596 was built at the EMD facility in Ontario Canada and entered service in the United Kingdom on March 31st 2008.

these guys spend 12 hours or so daily at an almost unbearable environment - smoke, deafening noise, very little light. their job is to watch and supervise a machine that mix rubber ingredients and make rubber sheets for further use. when i visited this place i had thoughts on workers rights and well being.
these men are heroes to me.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
Class 47/0 no.47145 'Merddin Emrys' starts the journey at Rhymney with the 4S81 1820 Pengam to Coatbridge on the 4th April 1995. Note the rolls of aluminium on the leading wagons.

Mirfield
Class 37 37518 (TE) passes the site of Mirfield mpd heading east with a tanker train.
This engine was originally D6776 and became 37076 in 1973. I saw the engine numerous times in this area before its withdrawal from BR. It was a lucky engine and survived into preservation (I saw it at Wansford on the Nene Valley Railway in early 2010) and is currently at the East Lancashire Railway (2011)

The British Rail (BR) Class 08 is a class of diesel-electric shunting locomotive. The Pioneer Class 08 No. D3000 was built in 1952 although it did not enter service until 1953. Production continued until 1962; 996 locomotives were produced, making it the most numerous of all British locomotive classes.
As the standard BR general-purpose diesel shunter, almost any duty requiring shunting would involve a Class 08. The class became a familiar sight at many major stations and freight yards. Since their introduction, though, the nature of rail traffic in Britain has changed considerably. Freight trains are now mostly fixed rakes of wagons, and passenger trains are mostly multiple units, neither requiring the attention of a shunting locomotive. Consequently, a large proportion of the class has been withdrawn from mainline use and stored, scrapped, exported or sold to industrial or heritage railways.
DB Schenker Rail (UK), before 2009 known as English Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS), is a British rail freight company headquartered in Doncaster, England.
The company was founded in 1995 as North and South Railways, acquiring five of the six freight companies sold during the privatisation of British Rail, becoming the UK market leader in rail freight transportation.
In November 2007, EWS was sold to Deutsche Bahn, and in January 2009 rebranded as DB Schenker
