Railway Roundabout - 1959 DVD

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

Classic scenes from the celebrated BBC Television Series...

In 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 ex - GER "E4"
at Cambridge and the closing of the

line which runs from

locomotives featured include the Midland 'Compound' number
1000 and the 'Brighton

Belle'.
