Geoff Holyoake is a legend among railway enthusiasts. He had a passion, skill & determination to capture the age of steam on film before it was too late, ensuring that, today, we have an incredible archive of footage showing the great locomotives, the historic lines & the beginning of the preservation movement. Geoff Holyoake was one of the small elite who used 16mm film rather than 8mm, producing films for commercial sale under the Meteor Films banner. This three-DVD box set brings together some of the most exquisite footage from the Geoff Holyoake Collection
Includes:: Sixties Southern
- The last years of steam on British Railways have been well documented, particularly in photographs. During that time moving picture recordings were rare with only the most dedicated enthusiasts being able to afford the use of cine film. Geoff Holyoake was among that number, & this DVD features some of the most evocative sequences he captured. Southern Region from East to West
- The Southern Region of British Railways was one of the last parts of the national railway network to use steam locomotives from the days of the pre-grouping companies. These helped maintain the atmosphere of each of the main constituent parts of the old Southern railway well into the 1960s. Geoff Holyoake's professional 16mm colour cine films bring the Southern region of the 1960s back to life. Western Region in the Sixties
- During the 1960s the railways of Great Britain were undergoing a fundamental change. British Railways was rapidly scrapping the faithful steam engine & replacing it with modern diesels & electric locomotives. This DVD is devoted to Geoff Holyoake's record of steam locomotives on the old Western region & the early preservation of former GWR lines & stock as the preservation movement got under way.
