British Rail Motive Power 1981 - 1999 Volume 11

This is the volume 11 in the British Rail Motive Power series produced by Track Record Rail Films in co-operation with Videoscene with on-screen dates and locations accompanied by a detailed 16-page booklet. Sourced from 121 hours of unused and unseen railway film, shot between 1981 and 1999 and all recorded with the original audio on tripod-mounted cameras, this is not just any old film. Highlights of Volume 11 include at Chester and Crewe with footage from 1982 and 1983 with 25s and 40s, then Crewe in 1999 with 37s, 47s, 87s and 90s. On the Midland Mainline a great selection of Peaks from the 1980s at Sileby, Market Harborough, Leicester, Kettering and Wellingborough. Around North Wales from 1981 to 1999, the changing face of 'The Coast' starting with 25s, 40s and 47s through to the 1990s and Regional Railways 31s, 37s and 101685 'Daisy' in BR Green. At Birmingham New Street when almost every long-distance train was loco-hauled. Includes 2 x 25s, 37s, 45s, 47s, 50s and Electrics. A visit to Vic Berry Scrapyard which is the final resting place for many locos, coaches and units with footage from 1987 and the twisted remains of 25s, 27s, DMUs, Mk1 sleepers and GUVs.
