A comprehensive look at the outstandingly spectacular Sterkstroom to Dordrecht section of the Maclear branch with 19Ds working to the limit on both passenger and freight trains. This is followed by scenes on the cross-country Rosmead to Stormberg line which employed the 15AR Class 4-8-2s. Moving towards the south-east coast, 19Ds are seen hard at work on the Alicedale - Grahamstown - Port Alfred line, well known for its immaculate locomotives. Finally, we visit the East London area where an immaculate 15AR shunts alonside ocean going ships in the docks while another 19D works a mixed train over the little visited Fort Beaufort to Seymour branch.

With informative commentary and dubbed sound. sourced from 8mm colour cine film.

For the first time, one of Hugh Ballantyne's famous slide shows given at venues up and down the country is being offered on DVD. The images are mostly in colour, going back to 1961, supplemented by a small selection of b & w images going back to 1950, over 175 images in all. These are presented in a magnificent slide show of optically-scanned and enhanced pictures with a full informative commentary. The show begins with an overview of all the classes that were to be encompassed in the proposed 1946 LMS locomotive standardisation scheme along with views of many other former LMS and constituent types that continued to work for much of the BR steam era. The next section contains overall views of a number of ex-LMS steam depots and then we take a journey down the West Coast Main Line with superb lineside views at many locations between Euston and the Clyde Valley. This is followed by scenes taken on various other lines that had belonged to the LMS. The DVD concludes with scenes of ex-LMS locos working over "foreign" metals in the UK plus a small number of views depicting LMS-designed 8F 2-8-0s overseas.

PLEASE NOTE that the images in this volume are of SLIDES and NOT moving video.

This is the third of our industrial slide shows, in this case featuring steam power at National Coal Board locations in England. The pictures in this all-colour album were taken mostly between the mid-1960s and mid-to-late 1970s by three industrial enthusiasts.

Beginning in the North-East, the large systems based on Ashington and Philadelpia are featured as well as visits to individual mines. Chapter 2 covers Yorkshire where many of the locos on view sport the various modifications applied by the Hunslet Engine Co. during the 1960s.

North-West England was very much "Austerity" territory and there are a number of fine action shots of these engines at locations such as the Walkden system and Bickershaw.

The final chapter covers the Midlands and includes some rare views of the East Midlands coalfields which were mostly dieselised at a relatively early date.

With an iinformative commentary and playable on a normal DVD player. PLEASE NOTE that the images in this volume are of SLIDES and NOT moving video.
