Railway and Transport DVDs, Blu-rays and books - we have a great selection of new titles in this catalogue and we're pleased to add Rail Advent and Platform 5 Publishing to our range of products.
Our new catalogue's 40-pages include Big Freight 28 - with the latest from the world of freight trains; the fourth title in the Greater Anglia cab ride series - featuring the GEML; a Class 56 cab ride around Yorkshire; a compilation of Class 31 footage from 1994 to 2022 plus Volume 11 in the ever-popular British Rail Motive Power series - with a visit to Vic Berry's in 1987; and for tram fans, Manchester - In the City, a look at Metrolink operations within the city centre.
New steam titles include the 2023 K&WVR Steam Gala - in the snow; Steaming to Hampshire and Dorset and Railways of Hertfordshire Volume Four. Add shipping, buses, military and wartime DVDs and numerous great new books, and it's another action-packed catalogue.
As mentioned, recent advances in software to enhance and restore old footage have been quite remarkable. Previously it was often slow, expensive and not that good. Now, for the first time, we have the ability to restore and upscale this old footage and you're likely to see the word 'Remastered' used frequently over the coming months. Early signs are very good and although the software has its limitations - not everything can be salvaged - the first few 'Remastered' programmes are available now, with much-improved picture and sound quality.
We also have a selection of new DVDs from Pen and Sword, on military vehicles, including U-Boats, Japanese battleships, German tanks and RAF planes.

You may notice the word 'HOT' next to a few titles in the catalogue. This basically means these are very popular and best-selling titles and we have plenty of them in stock. If you order before 10am on a weekday, we can normally ship your order by first class post the same day.
We recently noted that one of our competitors was charging £4.50 to mail out a DVD! And if you bought two, it became £9.00! The polite words for this are 'rip-off'! Please don’t pay this. Sometimes you may be able to get a book or DVD from another supplier for a few pounds cheaper than us, then they lump on the shipping charge! We charge £ZERO postage on all DVD, Blu-ray and book orders to any UK address. If the item you want is £14.95, that's exactly what it will cost you - £zero postage - £zero card fees - GUARANTEED!
Thank you for your continued support.

Filmed over the last quarter of a century, The Beauty of Steam Collection series features wonderful steam trains as they wend their way through some of the most spectacular countryside, lakes and mountains that the British Isles has to offer. A wonderful mid-price series - highlighting the wonderful world of British steam locomotives in the landscape.
2024 marks the 30th anniversary of Train Crazy railway videos and DVDs. Starting out as a hobby in 1994, then a full time job from 1998, over the last three decades, just about every type of locomotive and unit has featured, with more than 400 passenger, freight, cab ride and tram titles, released on VHS tape, DVD, Blu-ray and download.
Starting now in 2023 - to mark the occasion - a series of special low-price compilation DVDs and Blu-rays are being produced using the original film shot 30-years ago, right up to more recent times. Presented in a class-by-class format, and delving deep into the archives, some of this footage has been released before on VHS tape, some on DVD and some has never been seen at all.
Here's the good bit... In the last few years, software to restore old grainy and wobbly film has become more accessible. Previously it was expensive, slow and not very good, but in 2022 huge advances were made. The old film used on these new compilation programmes is all being reworked, improved, cleaned up and upscaled. For the first time, all of the film shot in standard-definition (720 x 576 or less) can be upscaled and presented in top quality high-definition (1920 x 1080).
Long gone and long scrapped EMUs, DMUs, 31s, 37s, 47s, 86s and many other locos and coaches which were only ever filmed in SD, can now be appreciated in full HD! Whether on DVD or Blu-ray, the picture quality of this new series is better than anything seen before, of trains filmed in the same era.
The second release features the Train Crazy film of the Class 31s, from 1994 right through to 2022. Most of the film comes from the North West and North Wales with the 31s hauling passenger trains. All of the Regional Railways locos are included, alongside some no-heat and lesser-seen ETH examples. Staying with the passenger theme, the Fragonset 31s are seen on the Bedford Bletchley line, working for Wessex and that bizarre St Annes to Greenbank service from 2004. In later years the locos are seen on football specials, stock moves and odd workings. This is far from a complete record of the class in these years but this is what was filmed, now re-edited, re-worked and upscaled.
Presented in a no-nonsense format of on-screen captions with unit number, location and date, sit back and enjoy some top quality Class 31 action from up to 30-years ago - with much improved picture quality and in HD for the very first time!
