Filmed by steam enthusiasts from ITV and the BBC, using high-definition broadcast equipment to make movie-length portraits of British steam locos at work. I've been on many heritage railways before but being able to ride on a steam train on the main railway lines was something else.uk (powered by TrainSplit) helps support the running of the forum with every ticket purchase, and we can sell Great British Rail Sale fares! The programme includes dramatic footplate commentary on the climb through Box Tunnel to help you enjoy in more detail than ever previously possible, exactly what it was like to ride with the King for a day.

With dozens of lineside locations and aerial sequences, it's one of the most complete records of an engine ever captured on film. It is about time there was another made with higher resolution equipment but still a fantastic insight into the working of Clan Line with interviews from engine men who worked on her and other rebuilt merchant navy class locomotives before they were retired. From the standpoint of the York traveller like myself, trains every half hour to and from London — and Newcastle — and every hour to and from Manchester Airport represent a conveyor belt service unimagined even as recently as the 1960s.

Princess Margaret Rose This “Steam Classics” records the history of Sir William Stanier’s first production Pacific locomotive for the LMS railway. Their day out on the mainline included the long drag north from Warwick up Hatton Bank where they had the rare opportunity of working a preserved steam engine flat out. Thanks to the new formula, these paints can be applied with a brush to produce a smooth and uniform surface with very little effort.

The Yorkshire Post’s photographers — and several guest photographers — have recorded what at the time was the mundane daily scene. Duchess of Sutherland This “Steam Classics” records the story of the restoration to main line steam work of one of Sir William Stanier’s magnificent “Princess Coronation” class Pacific’s built for the London Midland and Scottish Railway, number 6233 “Duchess of Sutherland”. In 2005 a series of railway films were released on VHS (and later on DVD) under the combined title of Classic Steam Train Collection. Choosing and captioning this superb selection of top-quality images from their collection, the majority never before published, has enabled Neil to recapture the pleasure and variety of that now distant era.What makes this film distinctive is that the engine is festooned with numerous cameras, including footplate coverage and footage from the air, with driver Colin KerswiU providing expert guidance of the engine at work. Wearing “The Bristolian” headboard, the King’s progress was followed by cameras at the lineside, on the footplate as well as from the air to capture the sights and sounds of a bygone era. During the last 20 or so years of the Steam Age, Neil Davenport and his father, the late Arthur Davenport, visited many parts of the country observing and photographing the railway scene.
