Moving south of the border, we visit NCB mines in Durham, North Yorkshire, Cumberland and South Lancashire as well as other venues such as Yates Duxbury paper mill.

In the Midlands, Meaford power station, further collieries and two sugar factories are visited while a highlight of the programme is the sight of steam still at work at three Northamptonshire ironstone quarries.

In the South, venues include Bowater's at Sittingbourne before preservation and the programme concludes with visits to collieries in the North Wales and South Wales coalfields.

Large scale railway preservation has now existed in Britain for longer than the Big Four groups and much longer than steam ran under British Railways.

Here we look at the earlier years of the preservation scene with some views stretching back into the 1960s. At certain points, recent views of familiar places are shown for comparison.

We begin on the Ffestiniog Railway in the late 1960s with the stock still in green and cream or brown. Other Welsh narrow gauge lines visited include the Talyllyn and the Welshpool & Llanfair.

Moving into England and working from South to North, we see the Bluebell Railway in its small engine era, an 0-4-2T on the Cholsey to Wallingford branch and such vanished locations as the Dowty site at Ashchurch and Dinting Railway Centre. In all around twenty venues are visited across the country.

This programme covers visits made by Alan Beard to Turkey in the early and mid- 1980s and features the Irmak to Zonguldak line, the Bandirma branch, the Izmir to Afyon line via Alasehir and the Odemis branch. The spectacular Zonguldak line is dominated by the Vulcan Ironworks 2-10-Os of series 563xx but also seen are 'Middle East' 2- 8-2s on Zonguldak area suburbans and an S160 shed pilot at Karabuk. Moving south, a Kriegslok is banked out of Bandirma by a Middle East' while later in the journey, severe grades require the assistance of a second Kriegsiok. An example of the same class also requires assistance at one stage while working the Izmir to Afyon 'Posta' and the programme concludes with a 2-10-2 working the Odemis branch mixed.

With informative commentary and 'live' sound taken from the original 8mm movie film plus a small amount of dubbed sound, Mastered on professional equipment.

The fifth in our series featuring steam in normal everyday service on British Railways proir to the end of steam in 1968. This programme features the work of Alan Wycherley who travelled to serveral famous venues in the 1960s to film BR steam in everyday service. Locations such as Beattock, Shap and the Lickey Incline are covered as well as visits to less well known places.

Beginning at Beattock in 1962-64, steam was still well in evidence on all except the most importatnt workings and most trains were banked by the local stud of 2-6-4Ts.

Following a brief visit to Killin to view the peculiar run-round procedure, we head south to Tebay and Shap were types seen include "Royal Scots", 9Fs, "Princess Coronations" and various Class 5s.

A comprehensive visit to Bromsgrove and the Lickey Incline towards the end of the days of steam banking is followed by sequences at various locations in the Midlands and the programme concludes with scenes of intense activity at Basingstoke.

With informative commentary and dubbed sound. Sourced from 8mm colour cine film and mastered on professional equipment.

In 1995 a new railway was opened in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of Northern China. Remarkably, the line was designed to use steam operation and as the 21st Century dawned this type of motive power was still in daily use along the full length of this 943 km. route.

This programme covers operations over the spectacular Jingpeng Pass which the line ulilises to cross a mountain range approximately halfway along the route. Spectacular civil engineering features abound along this 48 km section, including .fme horseshoe curves, seven tunnels and numerous viaducts. QJ class 2-10-2s, mostly double headed, toil though a mountainous landscape on this, probably the last, remaining long-distance steam operation in the World. The sequences were taken in early 2000 when freezing temperatures ensured spectacular smoke effects!
