An Hour of entertainment from the 50's and 60's.

Here is a couple of links to some video from the 50's and 60's that is the music of the day and loads of trains from all over the country. In the 50's video at abot 17 mins there is a few mins of DELTIC very near to where I live. I hope that you enjoy them and that they give you some ideas for your model railways.

From 18:45 to 19:20 of the second film is the Nottingham high level and low level stations. Just beyond the bridge was my grandfather's house which was owned by the Boots company.  The (old) Boots factory is on the right beyond the high level station.  On the other side of the road (London Rd) beyond the bridge there is the Boots company's own power station which is now part of the Nottingham district heating system which supplies a large part of the St Ann's area of the city and the Victoria shopping centre and flats, built on the site of the old Victoria station.

Nice find. I hate to admit it, but I knew all those songs! (I must be old!)

That clip with the Deltic at Vulcan bank. Was that renamed Vulcan Halt after that clip was made? Or was V Bank the box name? That was the Vulcan works behind, unmistakable!

What do you mean you new all those songs - I think there all still sitting in a box in the attic!

Nice video though - good find Vespa.

You are only old if you are being told to slow down by your doctor instead of a police man 🤐
