- During the 1950's the steam locomotive was seen as an anachronism which had to be replaced by 'modern' power. This programme traces the last full decade of steam locomotive development by examining each of the regions of the British railways, and sets the scene for steam's final years.
Really really really enjoyed that - thankyou so much for putting that on here. Great joy - but tinged with sadness.
Thanks for uploading these, been waiting ages for the last 2 parts
What a fabulous video!! Thank you. Knowing what we now know, extensive dieselisation a decade earlier, combined with de-staffing small stations would have transformed the network and Beeching might have been thwarted...
I enjoyed the commentary!😊
Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for uploading this. I'm not sure I've seen video of the MSWJR 2-4-0 before. Like so much on here, these images are priceless.
It is bitter-sweet watching this and seeing how much we have lost, especially from the rail network itself.
Oh, how wonderful it is to be able to say that Beachy Head was brought back from beyond the grave!
There’s a lot of clips of Leamington Spa General in there including The Cornishman diverted
Great video sam 👍 very nice loco 😊 keep up the good work 👏
Uh?🤔
8:25 i understand completely thank you
At 8:23, that would appear to be the coach from the Titfield Thunderbolt (aka Dan’s house on a low loader!) passing by as part of the goods train consist, unless anyone knows different?
The last run of Beachy Head? Not quite - the replica is up and running now!
3:44 Gordon: Hey Look, It's my NickName.😮
very nice
22:02 As of this year, Beachy Head steams again.
Who would have thought it in the 1950s- blimey ! Anything is possible with enough enthusiasm- Crampton 4-2-0 express mail engines anyone?
18:15 talyllyn railway
19:15 festiniog railway
What on earth is S O L as applied to gw Kings and castles? Googled no answer- assuming Swindon something locomotives but not a clue, thanks for video, cracking! And stop that dog barking- it gets everywhere!
Great visuals but despite what appeared to be great sound I had to watch with the sound turned off because the narrator just would not stop talking.
Please can you re release with just the railway sounds.
This programme is decade's old now
'The narrator just would not stop talking'. It's a history programme. What did you expect, ASL?
Are you OK ? Documentaries always have narration!
