The Heyday of British Steam Parts 1 - 5
Video technology came too late to record the golden years of Britain's
railways during the steam era, but thanks to a handful of amateur
cameramen armed with 8mm cine cameras, many images of the 'Iron Horse'
have been saved for posterity. This series is a collection of some
of those shots. Part One covers the South Midlands, London and the South
West. Part Two covers the East Midlands and the North East of England.
Part Three covers the Birmingham area, the North Midlands and Central
Wales. Part Four covers the West Midlands and the North of England, and
Part Five covers The Isle of Wight, The London area and Scotland.
