I hope the mods don't mind this thread being started, but I'd like to think it could become somewhere for links to professionally made stuff being posted. I'll start it with this little gem I discovered recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3q1EBpThZI

This one is a real blast from the not too distant past.

This may have been seen before, but it's worth a re-post. It's meant to be shot on 16mm film, but to me it looks more like 8mm or it could be badly exposed 16mm reversal stock. No matter, its priceless imagery from the year in question.

As a footnote, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the many spotters who shoot great stuff these days, so I suppose this thread is about pro shot footage spanning the years. If the mods deem it worth being a sticky, then even better. It could be a really nice resource.

Great idea but your links aren't working I think you need to remove the watch?v= from your YouTube tags

If I'm right your first video should appear below

A nice bit of film from Tralee, featuring the station, cabin, goods sidings, North Kerry yard and what I assume is an RPSI special.

I have this DVD already, but this is Disc one of a two disc set about the West Cork Railway that someone has uploaded to youtube. Mainly concentrates on beet traffic around Courtmacsherry and Timoleague. Other interesting stuff featured as well. Worth watching if you have the time.

Great quality - pity that there's not more of it.

A number of videos of previous ITG Tours have been uploaded to Youtube in the last few days. This is #1,open it in Youtube to see the rest on the right hand side. Some fantastic footage of motive power which no longer exist and some amazing sounds of trains at speed over jointed track.

Look forward to seeing that, Irish Rail golden era up the mid 1990s. ;

Here's another from Eiretrains, featuring top/tail 071s on the Sallins/Hazelhatch PWD works:

I hope to have an Enterprise style video of the De Dietrich stock arriving in 1997 and on test, will be uploaded soon.
