I've just found these two amazing old industrial steam railway films:

and

and a wider compilation including these two, for the pure railway enthusiasts:

I could start crying any minute - back to my early summer holiday trips by steam train to the Isle of Thanet.

The Amberley film is pretty rare.... the Aveling loco I think is preserved. Very strange and rare beast that.

The first stuff is excellent and of late there seems to be loads of amazing archive syuff appearing.

My family where at Westhouses MPD and Blackwell pit and damn me if I didn't find archive footage on Youtube!!!

I think more and more people are uploading this stuff as a way of preserving it almost...

Great Links :thumbsup:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh Creeper!!!!!
