TRACK RECORD
Produced by GLOBE VIDEO
FILMS and released September 2002.
As a
tribute to this fast disappearing type we present our
long await 3rd in the series of Class 47 videos following
our earlier productions TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW and VISIONS
OF POWER.
In TRACK RECORD the emphasis is on
cross-country services leading up to and including the
historic scenes at Penzance in August 2002 with the
departure of the last scheduled Class 47 hauled service
for Virgin Cross Country.
However, this
programme has much more, ranging from Edinburgh-Glasgow
push-pull services to NSE workings on the Waterloo route;
from VSOE services in the North of Scotland to clay
trains in the South West of England, and from enthusiasts
railtours to passenger drags off electrified lines.
Just a small sample of the locations that feature are
Newquay, Poole, Honiton, Salisbury, Dover, Swansea,
Boston, Abergele, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester,
Garsdale, Doncaster, York, Glasgow Queen Street, Aberdeen
and many, many more.
Included are several
views of each of the celebrity repaints, some on their
first outing and the number of liveries included in this
programme is almost too numerous to mention.
Not only this, but we have included an archive section
showing rare footage of the Class in the early 1970s with
views of Reading, Bristol, Birmingham New Street Crewe,
Shrewsbury and other locations.
See Vulcan, Atlas,
Colossus and Amazon as they used to be. See two-tone
green 47s at work and locos in pre-TOPS guise.
Grab yourself a piece of history.
