Railway Roundabout - 1958 DVD

(Playable worldwide except USA / Canada unless DVD player is compatible with PAL format)

Classic scenes from the celebrated BBC Television series...

I
n the late 1950s and early 1960s, the BBC
broadcast a series of television programmes called 'Railway Roundabout',
featuring train lines which proved to be on the point of closure and locomotives that were about to disappear forever.

 
This Archive film footage has been transformed by Ian Allan
and is now available as nine separate Railway Roundabout DVDs,
all superbly recreating the lost age of steam!

 
Highlights of this fascinating DVD
include views of the âBristolianâ in the days of steam and trains in action on the Lickey
incline. The DVD takes
viewers on a journey to Ireland
to see the Irish narrow gauge in all its glory, then back to Southampton
harbour for more steam scenes. The Hayling st="on">Island branch is also included as is the Cardigan
branch. Finally we hop on board the very last train from Abergavenny to
Merthyr.
