Riding the Colas Loco Move #1
Cab Ride: Shrewsbury to Derby (via Wolverhampton & Sutton Park)
The Network Rail 97/3s work all freight, passenger, infrastructure monitoring and engineers trains on the Cambrian lines. These three former 37s are very well known, painted in their NR yellow livery, all named and all based at Coleham depot, just south of Shrewsbury. In more recent times, Swietelsky-owned 37405 was been on hire to Colas, also based at Coleham and although not fitted with the ERTMS equipment for Cambrian work, the loco can be used behind the 97 to provide extra power or within/on the rear of trains in an engineering possession.
37405 and the 97s are periodically moved from Coleham to Derby RTC, Barrow Hill and Colwick depots for different jobs and maintenance and this cab ride features one such move, with 37405 and 97302, filmed in September 2025.
The route taken is very much as expected, running over a few lesser-seen curves and freight-only lines, as the locos weave their way around the Midlands. From Coleham, the rarely used curve at English Bridge Jn takes us forward to Wellington onto Cosford and then a pathing stop at Oxley Up Goods Loop. Forward to Wolverhampton, then Portobello Jn, Walsall and the freight-only Sutton Park branch to Water Orton, Tamworth, Burton OT and Derby.
The full journey is shown. Maps, on-screen captions and minimal narration. A thrash cam in the back cab of 37405 records the loco at work and ambient sounds.

Sunrise Sunset 16
A Day at Crewe plus The Independent Lines
Crewe is a long-standing, traditional, and popular railway location with a rich history. However, in more recent years, with most of the freight passing on the independent lines, fewer loco-hauled trains and the closure of the diesel depot as we once knew it, there hasn't been as much interest.
Forward to 2026 and Crewe has once again become a railway 'hotspot' thanks mostly to the full introduction of Class 67-hauled Cardiff - Manchester trains, the new Class 730s, 805s and 807s, plus the 197s and from May 2026, the Lumo 222s. With the LSL depot in full view, on any day, you're likely to see something more exotic! Add a handful of freights that pass through or run round and a mixed bag of other EMUs and DMUs - the traction variety is pretty decent.
Our chosen day turned out to be a classic with a superb mixture of locos and units! Starting with a Class 93 on the Russell container train and 37s on an IM train. 92s work the Caledonian Sleepers and at first light and 89001 passes through, light engine to Carlisle! 67s head from the depot into service, three sets are featured. Avanti's new 805s and 807s are seen in abundance with 197s now working all local services for ATW. 10-car 730s work to/from Euston and 4 & 8-car 350s also seen.
Only a few Cross Country services are routed via Crewe with 220s and 221s, Lumo's 222s call and pass through, 323s & 331s work Manchester local services, with 170s now working to Derby, Nottingham and all stations to Lincoln! For LSL, BR blue 08631 is shunting around the depot, 89001 is back with the Chairman's train, then 90001 arrives in from Euston!
Very few freight trains pass through the station during the day so action comes from the Independent lines, with trains to/from Basford Hall yard towards Manchester and Liverpool, worked by 66s, 88s, 90s and 93009 again. The evening is dominated by two DCR 60s hauling stone trains to/from Penmaenmawr Quarry. Things don't quite go as planned, adding more interest! All in all, a superb day - filmed in glorious sunshine!

Hanseatic Towns in Steam
This was steam on the Deutsche Bundesbahn Part 2
These unique film rarities from Ton Pruissen’s archive take us on a journey to the North German Hanseatic cities of Hamburg and Bremen. Beginning in 1956(!) with a trip on the Holland-Scandinavia Express, this film shows the Hamburg elevated railway, the S-Bahn network, the push-pull trains hauled by class 78 4-6-4 tanks from Bergedorf to Aumühle and Büchen, the Hamburg-Altona depot and station, as well as the main stations in Hamburg and Bremen. The film footage spans the 1960s through to 1971. Ton Pruissen has scanned, edited and digitally restored the historical film material using state-of-the-art technology.
Duration: 51 minutes Format: DVD Code: CM089
Steam on the Rollbahn
This was steam on the Deutsche Bundesbahn Part 3
This DVD presents further unique film footage from the Ton Pruissen archive, shot on the famous “Rollbahn” between Bremen and Münster. The footage by the Dutch railway film pioneer was shot in various locations including Dreye, Kirchweyhe, Diepholz, Drohne and Bohmte, at the Krebsburg level crossing near Ostercappeln, in Belm and Vehrte, as well as at the stations and locomotive depots in Osnabrück and Münster. Landmarks such as the crossing of the Mittelland Canal and the Lengerich Tunnel are also captured on film. Impressive scenes show Franco-Crosti 2-10-0 locomotives of class 50.40 and the legendary streamlined “Black Swan” 10 001 in service. This is railway classicism at its finest: all 1960s, almost no computerised locomotive numbers, almost no overhead lines – but plenty of telegraph masts! As always, Ton Pruissen has scanned, edited and digitally restored the historical film footage using state-of-the-art technology, and has professionally added sound.
Duration: 50 minutes Format: DVD Code: CM090
The Emsland Line, Emden and Oldenburg Steam
This was steam on the Deutsche Bundesbahn Part 4
In this film, legendary railway filmmaker Ton Pruissen takes us on a journey along the Emsland line to Emden and to Oldenburg. His journey back in time to the 1960s begins in Rheine (before electrification) and, featuring many beautiful shots of the line, leads first to Leer. Scenes along the way include the Bentlage signal box and level crossing, Salzbergen station, the striking Hanekenfähr bridge over the Ems, and Lingen station and locomotive repair shop. The Dutch film pioneer was able to capture numerous scenes from the 1960s in Emden: at the locomotive depot, at Emden-Süd and Emden-West stations, and with a passenger train hauled by a class 82 from Emden-Außenhafen to Emden-West. Side trips to Norddeich-Mole and to Oldenburg in 1965 round off this unique historical document. In a painstaking process, Ton Pruissen scanned the historical film footage using state-of-the-art technology, digitally processed and cleaned it, and professionally added a soundtrack.

Light Rail Systems No.11 Manchester - South & West
East Didsbury • Airport • Altrincham • Trafford Centre • Eccles
Our third Metrolink programme looks at trams in the South and West of the city, serving the terminals of East Didsbury, Manchester Airport, Altrincham, Trafford Centre and Eccles.
The Altrincham line is perhaps the best known and most interesting from an operational point of view, opened as Phase 1 in June 1992. Next was the Eccles line, opened in two phases and completed in July 2000. The South Manchester line and Airport line were part of Phase 3, opening fully in May 2013 and November 2014 respectively. The most recent extension from Pomona to the Trafford Centre opened in March 2020.
Each line is filmed in detail, with the terminus and key locations along the route, showing various moves. Trams run along a mixture of reserved track and on-street sections, plus former heavy rail lines and the unique section of double single-line running with heavy rail at Navigation Road is shown. Filmed summer 2026.
