British Rail Motive Power 1981 - 1999 Volume 2

This is the second title in the British Rail Motive Power series produced by Track Record Rail Films in co-operation with Videoscene. 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. With detailed attention to sound and picture quality, carefully edited and presented in a simple, no-nonsense format, with on-screen dates and locations accompanied by an improved and detailed 12 page booklet, British Rail Motive Power 1981-1999 Volume 2 is another blast from the past for anybody who was there 'in the day' and wants to relive the golden years of BR blue and beyond.
