British Steam Railways - DVD And Book Set

British Steam Railways is a showcase of all that steam railways have achieved; from the basic design of Richard Trevithick's engine in 1804 to Stephenson's groundbreaking rocket in 1829, the opening of the Liverpool-Manchester line in 1830 and the golden era of train travel in the early 20th century. Hundreds of colour and black-and-white photographs, maps and artworks beautifully illustrate all facets of steam railways - from engines to signal boxes, platforms and signs. The accompanying DVD The Very Best Of British Steam of Yesteryear is a special programme that features a selection of some of the most interesting lines from all around the old British Railways network. Although the steam officially retired from daily use in England during August 1968, thanks to the efforts of a
dedicated band of enthusiasts, who during the 1950s and 1960s set out to record this fascinating part of everyday life, it is still possible to enjoy the sights and sounds of British steam at work. This fantastic DVD also includes bonus footage of Bullied Pacifics hard at work in the days of BR steam.
