That was Hydraulic heaven. Love the D600s and D6300s. Big Warship fan. Was at East Lancs Gala a couple of weeks ago. Highlights for me were the Hymek and 2 surviving Warships, double headed. Fantastic.

A real gem of a film, with Warships, Westerns and a solitary Hymek amongst many others.

So this is what British trains looked like before the advent of BR Blue. WARSHIPS & MERCHANT MARINES prove the Brits are seafarers at heart. Thank your wwwerrry much for this precious document.

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing. These were immediately before I became interested in trains. I was into buses back then so nice to see one in the films. I missed seeing the D600 Warships in action as an enthusiast and it's a pity that D601 was finally scrapped. I spent many a happy day at Plymouth North Road watching the extra coaches being added or taken off the London bound trains. Nostalgia is great, but these are true history! Thanks again.

D601 literally rotted away at woodhams scrapyard until june 1980… talk about soldiering on until the “bitter end”

Excellent film of a period not often captured on film AND in colour. Really good filming technique, steady camera, panning and capturing the background as well as the loco. Some very useful historical and modelling notes to take from the film. Not sure about the projector sound effect, we all know what one sounds like and it was quite noisy and intrusive - not all authenticity is good! thanks for sourcing, editing and sharing

Wow...! And wow again..! Absolutely fantastic footage, really nice to see the early 600 Warship class in action, and an era of British railways before rail blue. Really great diesel hydraulic footage from a great era, and in colour too..! Excellent...

i can remember seeing doubleheader warships at Westbury avoider line 1968. the sad fact is they were prone to wheel slip as a single loco as only 78 tons .but when doubled up they were superb the 800.s and the 1000.s ruled the rails back then .

@@ludwigsamereier8204 No I don't think they were at 2100hp were quite capable of handling 10 to 12 coach trains and had a better power to weight ratio of the Kings and Castles they replaced. It needed a better understanding of how a hydraulic transmission needed handling.
