Continuing the celebration that marks the 40th Anniversary since the return of steam to our mainlines, we look at various workings during the second half of the year demonstrating how far the movement has progressed and how it is truly re-established on the railways of Great Britain. We feature a couple of anniversary runs as well as steam's triumphant return to a stretch of railway line not used for years. We also take a brief looking into the distant past, offering us a brief taste of what things used to looking like. Plently of dramatic visuals and evocative soundtracks for you to sit back and enjoy.The DVD features a brief commentary, on-screen locations and gradient subtitles.
