Synopsis

British Narrow Gauge - Whilst narrow gauge railways were never as significant in Britain as they were in Ireland many fascinating lines were operated over the years some of which are still very much in business. The programme begins in Wales with the Snowdon Mountain Railway filmed in 1931 and again in the 1950s. After a glimpse of horsepower on the remains of the Corris Railway there is lengthy coverage of the Talyllyn and the Festiniog in the pioneering years of their preservation in the early 1950s. This programme which explores both well known and almost forgotten narrow gauge byways throughout Britain from the west of Scotland to the south coast of England not forgetting the Isle of Man will be a delight for all of those interested in the narrow gauge and minor railways of Britain The Steam classic little book is presented in chronological order the last locomotive class featured in this volume of 60 classic engines is the British Railways standard 2-10-0 9F freight class which included Evening Star the last steam locomotive built by British Railways. As a tribute to the success of that preservation industry representatives of virtually all the 60 engines included in this book can still be seen whether working on heritage railways as static exhibits in museums or even running on mainline specials. A chronological record the engines featured in this book are important for either technological innovation or else simple workman-like efficiency such as the ubiquitous 0-6-0 freight engines built in their thousands and confirming their durability by remaining in service for 50, 60 or even in some cases 70 years. This set measures: 27.5 x 19.5 x 1.5cm.
