The Best Of British Steam

Disc One - The North Yorkshire Moors RailwayTo travel on the North Yorkshire Moors ... more

Railway, through the very heart of the National
Park, is one of Britain's finest railway
experiences, along a line, which for more than 150
years has stood tribute to the engineering skills
of George Stephenson. This programme takes you
first to the coastal town of Whitby, with its
cliff top Abbey, fine beaches and bustling
harbour, then on to Grosmont station. War
department tender locomotive Dame Vera Lynn and
No. 80135 are captured in action, before joining
Lambton Tank No.5 as she travels the steep climb
to Goathland, then past the radar golf balls of
Flyingdales to descend into the Newtondale
Gorge.Disc Two - The Severn Valley RailwayFor 16
miles, the Severn Valley Railway follows Britain's
longest river, linking gentle countryside and
historic towns, which are steeped in the relics of
our industrial past. From the new Victorian style
station at Kidderminster the programme journeys
north, using the line's steam locomotives,
including the Great Marquess, a K4 class loco.
Along the way the visitor can see traditional
crafts, such as carpet, rope and clay pipe making.
There are also superb stations and viaducts, as
well as the ferry at Hampton Loade, a waterwheel
at Daniels Mill and the picturesque River Severn
itself. At journey's end in the ancient town of
Bridgenorth, there's a chance to see the Midland
motor museum, before the world famous heritage
site at Ironbridge.Disc Three - The Keighley And
Worth Valley RailwayIn the heart of West
Yorkshire, the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway
possesses an impressive catalogue of steam
locomotives. During the year the railway holds a
variety of special events. This programme follows
the events that took place during Enthusiasts
Weekend in spring. It also provides a fascinating
insight into the operation of a preserved railway
and features the inaugural running of the last
fully restored 'Jinty' No.47279.Disc Four - The
Bluebell RailwayThe Bluebell Railway was Britain's
first standard gauge, passenger carrying,
preserved railway. After 35 years, this
outstanding line, set deep in the Mid-Sussex
countryside is still at the forefront of the steam
preservation movement. Beautifully restored
stations are complemented by an unrivalled
collection of steam locomotives, coaches and
wagons. Many of these are seen in action up and
down the line, while one of the world's most
glamorous and luxurious trains is recreated in the
Golden Arrow Pullman.Disc Five - The Paignton and
Dartmouth RailwayThe Paignton and Dartmouth Steam
Railway is the classic holiday line, with steam
trains running for seven miles along the
spectacular Torbay coast; a typical West Country
Branch Line which revives all the atmosphere of
the Great Western Railway. From Brainless terminus
at Kingswear 'Lydham Manor' climbs from the banks
of the River Dart through deeply wooded hillside
to Churston, followed by a descent of the Torbay
coast. There are magnificent views over the Dart
Estuary and superb seascapes right across Lyme Bay
to Portland Bill. There is also time to visit the
olde world town of Dartmouth and other attractions
along the line.Disc Six - The West Somerset
RailwayWith 22 miles of track, the West Somerset
Railway is the longest in British preservation.
From Minehead Bay, this line winds up between the
Brendon and Quantock Hills, serving each of the
ten beautifully restored stations, capturing their
own unique character. The programme explores the
many attractions, which are found along the way,
including the Exmoor National Park, local
villages, Dunster Castle, Cleeve Abbey, Coombe
Sydenham Country Park; animal centres and cruises
by motor-ship. With the Mayday steam gala, and the
August Steam Fayre there is also plenty of action
up and down the line.

Best Of British Steam - Northern England

Best Of British Steam - Northern England

The North of England, birthplace of the industrial revolution, is home to an enormous ... more

variety of steam interest. In Middleton, near the
centre of Leeds, one of the world's oldest
railways has been resurrected, while the Bowes
Railway still works its early rope hauled
inclines. In the Lake District, narrow gauge steam
conveys tourists through the beautiful scenery of
Ravenglass and Eskdale, but equally delightful are
the standard gauge railways over the North
Yorkshire Moors, and in the high valley of South
Tyneside.

The small narrow gauge lines that once carried slate and other materials from the quarries ... more

to the Welsh coast led the way for the British
Railway Preservation Movement. Today these lines
provide for railway enthusiasts and tourists
alike, and this programme features the activities
of the Ffestiniog Railway, Welsh Highland Railway,
Bala Lake, Llanberis Lake, Corris, and the father
of them all, the Talyllyn Railway. Railways at
Fairbourne and on the slopes of Snowdon (Wales'
highest mountain) were built to cater for
visitors, as was the Conway Valley Railway Museum
and the Great Orme Tramway, at Llandudno.But
standard gauge locomotives were also busy, on the
Llangollen Railway and on the Cambrian main line
along the North Wales coast. The programme ends in
Aberystwyth, with the Electric Cliff Railway, and
the Vale of Rheidol, the last steam to be operated
by British Rail.

Very Best of British steam

Advantages: Fantasitc footage of the last days of steam
Disadvantages: None

This is another in the eminently professionally produced DVD programmes on steam train released through Green Umbrella. With the Very Best of British Steam of Yesteryear, you are given a real feast for the eyes and also, for the memory, of course. Well, for those of us old enough to remember when steam trains regularly plied their business up and down the main lines of the United Kingdom. The last regular steam runs in Britain came to a very sad halt in August 1968. That's slightly under a year before the first manned space flight to the moon, for those interested in transport trivia. Without an unsung bunch of dedicated enthusiasts and professional and semi-professional film makers in the previous two decades, these wonderful steam trains would not be available to the general public. They would only exist as the personal ...

Review of The Very Best Of British Steam Of Yesteryear (DVD)

Best of British???

Advantages: good acting and story
Disadvantages: Very violent at times

I have seen this film many years ago now but never really followed what was going on as it did not appeal to me. For some reason hubby decided that he wanted to re watch it so out came the DVD and I was expecting another night of boredom but I can say that after sitting and watching it properly I did actually manage to follow the story and did quite enjoy it. . The film is set in the East End of London where eddy and his gang finally manage to raise the stake they need for a high paying poker game run by Harry Hatchett. Things go wrong for Eddy and his gang when Harry cheats at the game and Eddy and his friends end up owing him half a million pounds. The gang, Soap, Tom, Bacon and Eddie all have to now find the money to pay Harry within one week of they risk looking their digits one by one. . Eddie and the boys soon discover they ...

Review of Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels (DVD)

Fred Dibnah's Age of Steam DVD

Advantages: Wonderful
Disadvantages: None

Fred Dibnah's Age of Steam DVD is another exceptionally good TV programme released on DVD that carefully reflects and capture's Fred Dibnah's love of steam and his respect for the engineers who made steam not only a possibility but a living and breathing reality before, during and beyond the Victorian era. As anyone who knows of Fred Dibnah will be able to testify, Fred Dibnah has had a special fascination for all things steam since his childhood growing up in the Northern industrial town of Bolton, Lancashire. In Bolton if cotton was King, the steam must assuredly have been his Queen or consort. Fred's respect was made manifest by the fact that he carefully and expertly restored steam engines not only for himself (his Aveling and Porter traction engine for one) but also for friends and later for commercial clients. Although ...
