2024 marked the 30th anniversary of Train Crazy railway videos and DVDs. Starting out as a hobby in 1994, 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.

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 by 2024, 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).

The 16th programme in the 30th Anniversary series looks at the Class 66 & 67 locomotives in the period 1999 to 2012. First introduced in 1998, the EWS Class 66/0s paved the way for next generation of freight locos for Britain's railways. Film from 1999 shows the low-numbered locos, as new, followed by the 66/5s & 66/6s for Freightliner, the GB 66/7s, DRS 66/4s and some odd locos, such as the Fastline 66/3s. The Class 67s are shown from new in 2000 hauling mail trains and TPOs, then Scottish sleepers, the Royal Train, Chiltern passenger trains plus charters and odd workings.

Presented in a no-nonsense format of on-screen captions with loco number, location and date, sit back and enjoy some top-quality action from 25 years ago - with much-improved picture quality and in HD for the very first time! This is far from a complete record of these locos during these years but this is what was filmed, now re-edited, re-worked and upscaled.
