- Synopsis:
The first in a series featuring steam in normal everyday service on British Railways prior to 1968. This volume features the work of Ray Hammond who travelled the length and breadth of Britain recording on cine film the final years of BR steam in the 1960's. Here we depict steam on five of the six regions then operating showing the considerable variety of classes that could be seen. We see ex-GWR locomotives with number and nameplates still intact, and an endless flow of Bulleid Pacifics passing to and from the west at Salisbury. At Shrewsbury there are ex-LMS and ex-GWR types together and in the North-East we see East Coast Pacifics plus other classes. In Scotland we see a fine array of steam power ranging from ex-LMS "Crabs" and Class 5s to the J36's, V2's, B1's and A2's of the former LNER as well as BR Standard classes. The archive film is sourced from 8mm colour cine film and mastered on professional equipment. An authentic soundtrack has been added along with an informative commentary. - Actors:
