G.W.R. Steam (1991 UK VHS)

Released by Castle Vision in 1991. The Great Western Railway's steam locomotives have always been held in the very highest regard by railway enthusiasts - their copper-capped chimneys and brass safety valves were a unique "trade mark". Here we see them in action both today and yesterday, with rare archive footage from the 1950's and 1960's as well as contemporary action on British Rail main lines and preserved lines. Locomotives range from small tank engines to glamorous named express locomotives such as "Hinton Manor", "Defiant" and "King George V" in locations spread throughout the territories of the old G.W.R.
