THE MIDLANDS BRITISH STEAM DVD

In the industrial heart of the country, railways performed a vital role in moving the goods to and from the manufacturing bases and carrying the workers to the great factories around the Black Country. We see mineral trains headed by powerful goods locomotives on part of the last mainline to be built, and travel alongside the great River Severn on one of the best known railways of all. Steam takes us along the railway to Shakespeare's birthplace and to the Races at Cheltenham. Branch lines have a charm of their own and are the home of many of the smaller locomotives which played such an important part in industry. The famous West Coast Main Line plays host to some of the famous express locomotives such as the Duchess of Hamilton and Princess Elizabeth. See them in gleaming, steaming colour in this 48 minute DVD.
