My Dad used to force me to watch this when I was about 5 (I’m 37 now!). I’ve had that piece of music at 11:30 in my head for 32 years and heard it again for the first time today, since then!
Shazam has failed me for that ear worm.
I believe Roger Limb from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop composed both the title theme and all the incidental music. I've written to them, and unfortunately none of it is available separately.
A pretty document and a lot of nostalgia. Thanks a lot for this video!
I wish you a great week

I'm a train and I approve this video! Choo choo!
I'm chuffed you enjoyed it so much.
I travelled on one of the trips behind the Duchess over the Settle-Carlisle on which we stopped at Appleby and she made a couple of runs through. An unforgettable sight and sound.
The references to the problems with the Ribblehead viaduct are interesting particularly as when a proper investigation was carried out the viaduct was found to be in far better condition than had been supposed. Had the line been closed there would have been major problems for the network on many occasions since.
This is a classic documentary, thanks for the upload, I watched this on video since I was small, this is what got me into trains
9:38 This Famous Locomotive Duchess Of Hamilton Was Built At Crewe Locomotive Works In 1938 For The London Midland And Scottish Railway. Thanks Mate. X
I've only ever seen the Duchess of Hamilton at the National Rail Museum, in her streamline casing.
It's something else to see her up-close and not on a TV show.
steam enthusiasts aren't Anoraks!
Very nice! Happy weekend. ^___^
It's a very impressed great videos the document a look LMS Duchess of Hamilton no 46229
Many thanks for posting. I used to watch a television taping of this all the time as a kid. Although the music in a few places was slightly different. Is this taken from a VHS tape?
Tim Young Yes, from an old (now obsolete) VHS tape (1987 "BBC VIDEO").
+Tim Young (Tim R-T-C) Same here. My parents got it for me when I was about three years old :)
Nice to hear a Norfolk accent (Kim, the driver). Makes me homesick. Lovely locomotive though
Wow this takes me back, some of my earliest childhood memories. I had every episode of steam days recorded on VHS as a kid and watched them until the tape wore out. I was 5 years old when this series aired and I’m now 38! Seems like only yesterday.
My childhood too
I wish bbc had reruns of all episodes of this show
If Sir Billy Butlins did not save her she would have probably been scraped
Duchess of Hamilton 46229 he pulling 14 coaches
So much more elegant than the Mallard.....
I like trains
Welsh coal is brilliant!!!
Locomotive Research Department well it’s not bad!
Adrian Simpson it’s the best coal
Wonder how it handled West Virginia Bituminous coal...
@Aussie Pom ohhhhhhhh I love coal I am a oc engine
Shame we can't get it anymore.."in 2022 they found themselves using Russian coal....then the world changed!"
Hell of a risk to ship her back across the Atlantic during the war with all those u-boats around!
