The Southern Region's last steam-worked main lines from Waterloo to Salisbury & Weymouth are recalled on this all-colour programme which features cine film made between 1958 & 1967 by John Laird, Brian Robbins & Geoff Todd. Island railways have a particular fascination, none more so than those on the Isle of Wight. In this programme, produced from films made by railway enthusiasts who visited the island from the 1950s to the present day, we present aspects of the changing face of the island's railways over the last forty years. For anyone interested in the Southern this DVD provides a delightful miscellany covering many aspects of railway activity in the south east of England over a 40 year period. Southern fans will not be disappointed by this enthralling programme. From Bewdley to Blaenau will revive memories for those who knew these lines & for those who did not have the chance to explore them before they closed, & it will help to explain why these long closed railways are still remembered with such affection by those who travelled on them in their heyday. British Narrow Gauge Miscellany, which explores both well known & almost forgotten narrow gauge byways throughout Britain, from the west of Scotland to the south coast of Engl&, not forgetting the Isle of Man, will be a delight for all of those interested in the narrow gauge & minor railways of Britain.
