Geoff Holyoake Collection

Product Description

Collection of documentaries about British steam locomotives & the railways they journeyed on in the 1960s. Passionate about the dying out steam engines, Geoff Holyoake decided to film what he could before electric & modern diesel engines completely took over. ' Sixties Southern' covers the final days of the South Western Main Line of the Southern Region on which we see King Arthurs, Charlies & Bulleid Pacifics. ' Southern Region from East to West' covers the Eastern, Central & Western Divisions where we see M7s, Brighton ' Terriers', Radial tanks, & the Pacifics, Moguls & British Railways Standard classes. Finally, ' Western Region in the Sixties' looks at the lines in the West of Britain & documents the beginning of the preservation movement on the Great Western Railway.
