add to order > Western Heroes | DVD | £19.95
Produced by GLOBE VIDEO FILMS and released March 2004.
'WESTERN HEROES' is the second diesel-hydraulic
title from Globe Videos and the follow-up to 'WESTERN
RENAISSANCE'.
JUST SOME of the highlights
are ........
** WARSHIP diesels in Cornwall,
around Bristol and even Clapham Jn, including a
double-headed maroon pairing on the Cornish Riviera
Express at Teignmouth in 1969 and an unbelievable TRIPLE
header on the 'Rivo' at Hayle in 1968.
**
What is believed to be the only WESTERN onto the Hayle
Wharf branch.
** D800 on a
Penzance-Manchester express.
** D6300s in
service in Cornwall and around Bristol.
**
WESTERN & HYMEK pairings
** HYMEK &
steam pairings.
** D0280 Falcon storming
past at high speed.
** WESTERN LORD in
chromatic blue.
** Visit to Swindon Works in
1968.
** HYMEKS in their last days at
Reading.
** As well as this the programme
features over 50 of the Class of WESTERNS !
Commentary has been kept to a minimum so that the locos
can do the talking!
The extended production
time on this programme is due to exhaustive and
painstaking research of train and loco identities to
ensure that captions are as informative as possible. To
this extent some interesting anomalies have been
resolved, even after so many years.
Grateful thanks
go here to Adrian Curtis, Martin Street, Steve Harrod,
Steve Crowther and many others.
Running time
56 minutes.

'I've just placed an order for the
"Western
Legacy" DVD. If it's anywhere
near as enjoyable as the Western Heroes
one you
sent a couple of months ago, I'll be thrilled. I look
forward
very much to more scenes of the hydraulics
in the Westcountry. I must
say I love the
production style of "Western Heroes" - the
commentary is
informative yet unobtrusive; it
enhances the footage without detracting
from the
scenes. Bravo!'
