The Isle of Man Steam Railway - The Official Souvenir DVD/Blu-ray
Opened in 1874, the line we know today as The Isle of Man Steam Railway runs from Douglas to Castletown and Port Erin - a distance of just over 15 miles.

With beautifully restored 120 year old locomotives, coaches and stations, this 3ft gauge railway is on of the best of its kind anywhere in the world.
