Saturday Film Club: Diesel and Electric Blue The Movie
Another one of those videos which makes you realise how dull the modern railway is compared to the blue diesel days almost 40 years ago. Has anyone got a time machine?
Fascinating, and yet the irony is that the BR Corporate Blue livery and so the era is / has been considered to be the ultimate in dullness - aesthetically at least!

ReplyDeleteNostalgia wins. Blue diesel is now VERY fashionable among modellers.
DeleteThanks for this, Phil, I've been feeling a little under the weather, and watching it has cheered me up immensely.
