Description

Into the second year of the British Rail Motive Power series, once again we dig deep into the archive of 121 hours of unused and unseen railway film, shot between 1981 and 1999; and all recorded with the original audio on tripod-mounted cameras. With detailed attention to sound and picture quality, these DVDs are carefully edited and presented in a simple, no-nonsense format, with on-screen dates and locations accompanied by a detailed 12-page booklet.
