The LNER Encyclopedia

Hi,
I recently stumbled on a short excerpt of a film in Photobucket entitled "Railways of London in the 50s and 60s". It shows images ofLiverpool St, Bethnal Green and Stratford accompanied by 60s pop music, Jimmy Saville etc. The b & w images of Britannias, N7s and B17s brought on a massive wave of nostalgia and I could even forgive the images of the sparkling new EE type 3 backing onto a train at the terminus. My question is does anyone know if the full version is available and from where?
I would post a link if I knew how!!
I'm sure some one on here is familiar with this film.

Is it similar to this collection from Youtube?

Which is silent.

Hi John,
No that's not it but thank you for posting.
Some lovely shots, I particularly enjoyed the glimses of J15/17 and I think J20. Bookmarked to watch again!

What comes over on that early footage, is the darkness of coach maroon when compared to cream and crimson. I know that the colour representation of 8mm cine film was not too accurate in those days, but even allowing for that the maroon does look rather drab compared to the previous livery.

Reading monthly magazines from that time, it appears that the cream and crimson was not liked by many people for various reasons, but I can never really understand why (apart from cream showing dirt more quickly). I think it is a rather attractive livery, and in older coaching stock the cream weathers to a more rich 'yellowy' colour.
