Some of England’s finest scenery was only made accessible to the public by the introduction of the railways – nowhere more so that the famous Shap climb up from Carnforth via Grayrigg and over the Cumbrian Mountains. Equally famous, of course, is the Settle and Carlisle Railway which also climbs over the mountains in Cumberland and runs along its valleys, shaping and creating the landscape as it winds its sinuous course. The scenery is complemented by some of the most beautiful and charismatic steam locomotives which, massive in themselves, are dwarfed by the backdrops which show their beauty to stunning effect.

This classic re-issue of the footage from a book and DVD package contains superb film of steam locomotives in the British landscape from over three decades past – and is a stunning reminder of the lasting Beauty of Steam.
