SOUTHERN RAILWAY, Steam Vol-2

Показать описание
Britain's Southern Railway was renowned for its 'Southern Electric' system, which meant that its steam locomotives had to soldier on much longer than those of other railways.

This resulted in many Victorian locomotive designs surviving to the end of steam in the 1960's and into the preservation era. Using unique archival footage of locomotives in action in the 1950's and 1960's, together with contemporary material of today's preserved locomotives, this video shows the variety - from the famous Stroudly 'Terriers' to the magnificent Bulleid Pacifics such as 'Clan Line', 'Swanage' and 'City of Wells'.

OTHER LOCOMOTIVES FEATURED INCLUDE:
* 241 M7 0-4-4T
* 541 Q 0-6-0
* 777 N15 'Sir Laniel' 4-6-0
* 926 V 'Repton'
* W8 AIX 0-6-0T
* 34072 BB '257 Squadron' 4-6-2
AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS.

Great Ventnor and the tunnel, in the late 50s on the leg down to Ventnor trains would sometimes be halted for cattle on the line!

I've always found this documentary is regarding British steam very fascinating especially since here in America we had our own Southern Railway that has a few well-known surviving engines in preservation the most notable of which is 4501

On the lookout for old documentaries like this that feature any clips of the obscure E2 tanks! Might anyone know of any documentaries that feature clips of them aside from Railway Roundabout?
