This is a trip down memory lane...

From the 1930's come: - Ancient 4 wheel coaches in Kent, rare colour film of Coronation Scots at
Crewe, and at Siloth, the local train comes in and coal trucks are unloaded. In B/W steam Commuter services in London. Then Wartime, A4's in Black Livery, Underground trains of many types. Afterwards Railway reconstruction.

A look at Workshops comes next. (Swindon) The L.N.E.R.'s Electrification Scheme opens. Then - Belfast Steam service to Larne. Many 1960's sheds, Harrow Stanmore Steam branch, K.E.S.R. taken over by Preservationists. A.4's going into retirement.

One or two steam trains at Euston, Paddington and many more at Clapham. The changes at Kings Cross before Electrification, 31's dipping down to Moorgate. A brief look at Industrials leads to the last Brighton-Belle. On the Underground, Victoria Line opens, and B.R. takes over the Moorgate
Underground Line. Even Diesels are scrapped - Western Class 52's and the last Deltic from Kings
Cross. Many more trains are included.
