- Synopsis:
From Shrewsbury to Nottingham and from Crewe to Skegness, this programme features so many railways that you are assured of a feast of action. We see many of the First Generation of British Railways' diesel locomotives at work from the middle of the 1980's into the first decade of the 21st Century. Coal, steel, imported goods, general freight and slow and fast passenger trains were all handled by such luminaries as class 08, 20, 31, 37, 40, 45 and 47. Today many are still at work on both nationally and privately owned rails. This fabulous programme, part of a wonderful eight-volume series, celebrates the might of diesel, an often overlooked part of British rail heritage. Incredible action footage makes every title in this series a real treat. - Studio:
