add to order > The Diesel & Electric Diaries Part 2 | DVD | £16.95
This series of programmes will take us to classic
stations, depots and other railway locations around
Britain, where the locomotives, liveries and rolling
stock are from an era that is now long gone.
Loco-hauled passenger and freight trains are in
abundance, but we will see shunters and multiple units as
well.
Volume 2 in the series of programmes
takes us to three famous railway locations.
Chapter 1: Norwich station on a Summer Saturday - 6th
August 1988 to be precise, and the station activity is
almost non-stop as we look at the cross-country holiday
trains, London services and local trains.
Hauled passenger trains are in the hands of Class 31s,
47s and 86s though a class 37 makes an appearance.
On the unit front, Derby and Metro-Cammell units
are seen and even a Clacton unit makes an appearance.
Chapter 2: Newport in 1985 & 1990
Always a magnet for the enthusiast, Newport station
reverberates to the sound of 33s, 37s and 47s with 31s
& 56s making an appearance.
Liveries of course
are from that period.
Chapter 3: Milford
Junction in West Yorkshire is the scene for HEAVY freight
in 1992.
Naturally, 56s are the staple motive power
but 31s, 37s, 47s, 58s and brand new 60s also appear.
Full captions with minimal commentary.
Approx running time 62 mins
