A Day In The Life Of A Bulleid Pacific:Follow the unrebuilt Pacific 34067 ¿Tangmere¿ as she heads a mainline rail tour on the Torbay Express service to Kingswear. Despite testing conditions, the crew remained quietly confident that their 7P machine would equal the output of any Class 8 engine. Watch thrilling footage of one of the busiest steam engines working in Britain.
A Day In The Life Of A GWR Mogul:
Moguls were the most numerous of the GWR tender classes and arguably the most useful. A go-anywhere machine, they were found on everything from heavy freights to emergency express work. This film follows a day in the life of a surviving Mogul, 5322, from oiling up to disposal at Didcot.
A Day In The Life Of A GWR Branch Line:
This is a dawn-to-dusk account of South Devon Railway¿s 40th anniversary celebrations. The old single-track branch line had never been busier with everything from double-headed freight workings to distinctive GWR autotrains.- Studio:
