Belmond British Pullman, 35028 Clan Line, 22nd May 2015.

Filmed at Reigate:

 

...and here's another one taken by a friend:

 

Nice one.

If you'd got there a bit earlier we'd have met up and you'd have been able to film a Schools Class on the 09.25 Margate to Birkenhead Inter Regional train heading in the other direction.



Only a little bit earlier: just over 53 years earlier in fact. 20th April 1962 when I took that shot. LOL!

 

Lovely sound track. Superb in fact.

Err, can I ask how you managed to prise the film off from Mr Knowwun?

 

Mr Who?

 

What have you done with him? Come on, own up!

 

He will be back soon.

 

Magnificent. Full and 40% I would think. Who was driving?

I believe messrs Thompson, Clarke and Cotterell were the rostered crew.. Not sure who was driving and who was rostered as fireman though.

 

Interesting, I used to see these trains change engines at Reading, usually to a 81D Castle. SR moguls were quite common on these workings as well, even the 3 cyl version as well I think.
However I thought BRCW Type 3's (class 33's) took over the SR leg around 1961 in line with the Kent Coast electrification phase 2.
Although I was only 11/12 years old back then.

 

Ah the dream team. Wayne Thompson and young Jim. I might have known
