Thomas and friends is what awakened by love of trains and railway’s in the first place. I still remember watching cranky bugs for the first time and how charming the early episodes of the show were.

Anyone here ever heard of ever heard of Lionel? They’re an american toy company that made model trains and such as well. There founder I forgot his name had a love of engineering much like Frank.Hornby. Several Lionel trains have become sought after collector items like the Banker’s special or a personal favorite of mine the Black diamond.

Soundtrack Dior and I.....

I can’t get enough of these. They’re so alive! So real ! So special!

Is always fun to revisit the past, but the present is always better.

It's interesting that the BBC caption says that in the 1960's Britain was 'starting' to take recycling seriously...as though WW2 had never happened! The saddest thing is that all the good habits people developed so quickly during the war were instantly dismantled when war ended. We all joked about being brought up to save wrapping paper, bits of string, elastic bands and the like, but absolutely everything was used and reused during the war. Children collected what the business man and housewife didn't. Now we know that we can't dump rubbish in the sea or a hole in the ground, some of that discipline would be good to bring back. The amount of single use plastic,at a time when we have peak oil and oceans full of the stuff,is still growing and we simply have to stop wasting these finite resources.

I like Ian Rice's comment that building a model railway at home is a waste of time really for it's never going to pay the mortgage or put food on the table. But it may just save someones sanity and therein lies the benefit of building a model railway when depression so besets modern life for a model railway unlike a video or computer game is 3D and you can get your hands everything. You can learn so many skills from carpentry to electrical to kit assembly to building structures from scratch to soldering to DCC software. For people who retire model railways keeps their mind active for once you're no longer working a full time job then the challenge you apply your mind to is no longer there and you can start to slide quickly downhill until life is meaningless and you pass away. So whilst some may think that a model railway has no part to play in the modern world I say they're very wrong and model railways are more important than ever simply for keeping one sane.

Memories are made of this... Early '60s, I lived in England. I bought a NorVin in quasi-Black Lightning tune for 600 pounds...and everyone I knew said I should be committed. But it was the fastest thing on two wheels, or 4 for that matter as only a VERY few exotic cars were faster (and none of them had the NorVin's acceleration). I rode it for 3 years, bringing it back to the states with me. It was a long time ago, but I don't remember having much trouble with it once I'd gotten the electrics de-bugged (damn you, Joseph Lucas, Prince of Darkness...the English drink warm beer because they all have Lucas refrigerators!). Stateside, the NorVin was even more remarkablek, as it just gobbled up freeway miles, and this was the era of vast expansion of the Interstate highway system. Funny thing is, I can't for the life of me remember what happened to it... And, yes, I'm an old fart now (86 and still riding), but I still remember many lesser bikes I've owned and sold. I think the NorVin may have been part of the trade than netted me a beautiful '57 Corvette with newer brakes and a ton of rare go-fast parts...but I'm not sure. If I'd kept all the bikes and cars I've owned over the years, I'd have a collection worth many millions of dollars, but I've got my memories...and those are priceless (and I don't have to store them)!

150 mph wearing a speedo?! i'd probably soil that speedo @ 150 mph.

Great song❤❤❤

Nothing has changed really, rich getting richer because of the rest of population

Got my first train set, Hornby 0 gauge clockwork, in 1953. Have been modelling railways ever since. A great hobby, you meet other modellers and help each other with any problems that arise. Visited the Bassett Locke shop in High Holborn many decades ago. On visits back to UK visited as many model shops as I could. Semi-retired in Picton, South Island, New Zealand.

I m 64 . I would have been 4 years old in 1964 .yet this is also me .I have for many many years have leaned towards the sixties.soul or northern soul which it became known as at the end of the sixties iwas into .then came in 1979 the mod revival along with phil Daniels and quadrophenia .it hasn't t gone away .over the many years the music the mods and everything to do with the sixties and mod movement has still been going strong. My brother and me with mates who we knew in the mid to late 70 s we had the scooters then my brother had a g s vespasian loads of lights and mirrors mod ralleys still going now as then. Northern soul the mods and the unforgettable sixties even though I wasn't there in 64 I m still in around about way apart of it all sharing the experience.

As the saying goes, "I'd rather find my sister in a whore house than see my best mate on a Honda". British bikes rule!!!

I can watch this documentary over and over again. Thank you

Full of love !

Old good times ❤ templar

Odd beliefs, I’ve always modeled about a half Century or more before my time. I’ve never liked the railways I grew up in nor live in. I’ve always modeled early 1900s and cheat and add motive power from the 1940s as the newest. All heavyweight coaches from the era. British trains are the same about 1910- 1940 that I model. BR never even exists yet on my railway.

6:33 llanrumney may have been a long way from cardiff centre, but it WAS still within cardiff boundary. Us llanrumnians were still Cardiffians lol!

Make your dream reality buy a vincent vee twin one of the few classic bikes that will not go down in value and you will experince something that cannot be put into words but treat it with respect ,,,,,, or it will bite you.

6:07 Ahh, Cherokee tartan...

I wanted to see when this started. I expect the 19th Century but when in the 19th Century? Who were the first to create model train sets? It must have coincided with electricity becoming more common in cities and homes. This says “ history of model trains” but doesn’t say anything about its origins.

A Railroad of a million tears

when i learn about thai burma railway history, the first thing i didnt know about the highest dead of Malay & Tamil at the death railway. Of course, i know there is POW from Allied. I started know this when im visiting Railway Museum at Kanchanaburi, Thailand about 2 weeks ago.

I remember this from when I worked for a computer company (SPL London) in the mid 60s! Things were so exciting then and optimistic - unlike now.

Glorious from both. We shall never see (or hear) their like again.

I was born in 1966. In my late 20s I was talking about the 1960s to a guy who was two decades older than me. I said, "I feel like I missed something." He said, "You did."

Sublime. Music. !!!!!!!!!!!!! Grand. BravO. !!!!❤!!!!

... great, thanks :)

does anyone know the closing theme please.

1:36 YOU COULD BOIL A KETTLE ON THAT

One of the tower blocks in the Bristol development featured in this film was recently condemned on safety grounds and the residents forced to move with only a few hour’s notice.

The Sicani and the Sicels were the first people of Sicily.

Caffe Florian is 40 years older than Caffe Greco.

The theme music was not used by Rank when the films were show, The BBC have chosen 'Another Happening' by Neil Richardson.

A year after Britten died, I knocked on the door of the Red House in Aldeburgh to ask if I could take some photos of the house and spent an afternoon chatting with PP. We talked about Shostakovich, Kathleen Ferrier, War Requiem, Huddersfield Choral Society and Peter Grimes. I wish iPhones had been around then as I only have a simple photo of us outside the famous garden gate! A wonderful day full of both happy and sad memories.

I always love watching someone using live steam and live diesel as well as electric trains, mainly because it felt SO REAL!..

I have ridden my Triumph TR-6 1965 for 40 years. God knows how many miles.
