I live in Doncaster

At 6.03 my sister in law, Margaret.

The piano playing reminded me of my grandad playing to us in his front room. He was the landlord at the Queens, market place. And a piano tuner. I would love to know the name of the piano tune playing just before the piece on war. It just reminds me of him and it’s a lovely tune.

At 4.08, I noticed my friend Julie and I on one of the cruiser boats of Strawberry Island Boat Club. It was a great atmosphere.

Used to be a cracking greasy spoon in the old bus station. Sticky checkered table cloths and the lot. Did the best fish fingers and beans for me, when my nan used to take me into town to get her hair done.

Doncaster use to be a lovely place and most of it has been knocked down 😢

No respect these days

Doubly historic because the old LNER pattern colour light signals had just been decommissioned.

Whatever happened to the little nippers we don't see them anymore

The royals are nothing more than parasites.

I'm Doncaster born and bred. I grew up in wheatley but now live in the town centre. Doncaster had a lot of great things going on when i was growing up in the 70's and 80's. Now it's a drug infested shithole. Doncaster council is corrupt as hell. They totally destroyed the waterdale and anything that was good has been closed or knocked down. Most of the waterdale has been has been knocked down. They did build a new shopping complex in part of the waterdale a decade ago but it never got opened. It's still there now empty. It just stinks of corruption. I'm also sick to death of the so called "council enforcement officers" (or should i say corperate revenue collectors) commiting purgery, trying to extort money out of people using dirty tactics. When i see them doing this i give them hell and always protect the people they are trying to extort money out of. It pisses me off.

The whole lot now demolished, same as the ICI factory (later Dupont) which was also on Wheatley Hall Road, thousands of jobs gone, very sad.

I knew someone who was there in the 1990's before they had there first of many worker culls, and moved it over to Belgium including there other site in Balby , save a few quid, cost a few jobs!

Sound?

I hear the sound of those Napiers and I'm 12 again and stood on doncaster station like it was yeasterday

shhzhshshshshzhhzzn

Im from Donny, lived there most of my young life. Loved it, the people, the life there. I now live in the Us, sometimes i have doubts, not for my family, but just me.

Daft question but why do some Deltics use 2 exhausts and others 1

Fantastic memories of these charging alongThe East Coast main line .No sound like it will ever be heard again.

See! Global warming existed in the 1930s too!! 😂

We could walk from my aunty & uncle from intake estate to racetrack

Grandad worked on the railways so did 2 of my uncles

My mum lived in exchange st loved going to granny & grandads there

It's lucky that we got this video. In 20 years time, people won't believe that Doncaster had a tractor factory, because there is nothing left of the site today. So glad UK got it's call center and Amazon warehouses for employment

Case didn't aquire IH,Tenneco bought the IH agline and merged it with Case which they already owned.90% of what Case- IH sells today originates with IH heritage.

If the original Deltic C0C0 was light blue then I saw it circa 1960 on the line at Old Oak Sheds when I was a trainspotter.

Deltics running on both engines . Quality. Dont see it very often these days. 😎👍

22 deltics were built six survive into preservation along with the prototype

I was born in this lovely place in Auckley at No.1 Plane Tree Way 1965.

Nice subtle watermark

Hull Paragon 0:56 to 1:27 (all 3 clips) - Love the sound deltics make, "vuh-vuh-vuh-vuh-vuh-vuh- " !

I used to live at town end, Bentley and they used to rock my bed in the evenings in my childhood as they went past the end of my street.

I like the 2594 case or 2290 case the best to bad no tv lol

Nice to see the good ole Duke, though in her last months some drivers pushed her to over 110mph, and she occasionally caught fire, never quite enough to drag her down. Until eventually one day it did and nearly at the very end too an engine failure at Cramlington in 1981 sealed her fate. Withdrawn on the 22/11/81. Always kinda hoped she would be saved, but now the nameplates and this video are left. A lovely memory.

On the western we had the whining 1000 class, so took a trip to Kings Cross just to hear a Deltic start, and hear it we certainly did.

Memories

The big fat Deltics, only 22 were built compared with 200 class 40s, so more should have been saved. One should have been chosen as the locomotive of the Royal trains with more imposing presence than a class 47.

Fantastic engines exciting to drive trying to keep the boiler working between the two engines if it played up was a pain thank god for ETH.

Captain Sensible is such a fan of these that he named his own record label Deltic Records.

I like the colours on the various buses.

The DPS do a set of DVDs [4] with film taken off Super 8 during the 60s and 70s -well worth the money [usual disclaimer]

I have not go to doncaster it was almost over one year .

The mighty Deltic! Saw my first one at Doncaster as a little lad - still remember it 'straining at the leash' as the platform shook!

My mum might have been in those crowds with me in her tummy! That was the year I was born! Fab film. Really enjoyed that.

Thanks for keeping the Deltic memories alive.

Hull Paragon at 1.02?

I'm here because of Louis Tomlinson

Back in the day, I remember paying 2p, 5p and then 10p for my bus travel, how those days have gone!

U don't see that ever day 🐘
