Continuing the Great Western Railway's 175 year celebrations in what has already proved to be an amazing year, Part 2 of our 2010 Mainline review features many historically significant runs in which we see the Great Western returning to forgotten places, as well as saying goodbye to others. We also see a variety of other region's locomotives running over foreign metals (with a couple of record breaking runs), as well as their own home territory. With plenty of high-speed action, authentic scenes from the steam age, and powerful and evocative soundtracks, this DVD rounds off what has been a smashing year for Steam on the Mainline!
