Volume 124

Along LNER Lines Part 3 (80-mins) Price £19.75

The third in our series of films on the East Coast mainline and others in the 1960′s.

This film begins with extensive coverage of PETERBOROUGH station in 1963 just before through steam services to London, were due to cease. All four classes of Pacific are seen with V1 and B1 back-up. Move on to SPALDING, a crossroad for railways, with much steam hauled traffic in 1963 with B1s, 9Fs, WDs and V2 motive power.

The journey travels via DONCASTER and LEEDS from where a B16 took a rail-tour to BOROUGHBRIDGE and MIDDLETON with a V3 in attendance.

The WAKEFIELD area and FRYSTON colliery and then on to SCARBOROUGH and Whitby on a rail-tour with 3442, before steam at YORK.

The NEWCASTLE area had plenty of steam, serving the coalfields before heading north to BERWICK and finally a tribute to the A4 Class north of the border, showing nine of this class making a total of 14 A4s in this film.

There are over 100 recognisable locomotives on this film of mainly ex-LNER motive power. A few industrial engines add interest and even a few early built Deltics appear.

Volume 113

Along LNER Lines Part 2 (60-mins) Price £19.75

Archive film of steam along the East Coast Route from KINGS CROSS to YORK before it ended south of Peterborough in 1963. There are detailed views of KINGS CROSS terminus, PETERBOROUGH and DONCASTER with visits to Top Shed and GRANTHAM. Motive power shows A1, A2, A3 and A4 Pacifics with B1 and V2 classes putting in appearances. The Eastern suburban services up to 1962 were worked by L1 and N7 classes and scenes from LIVERPOOL STREET to BETHNAL GREEN, CHINGFORD, HERTFORD EAST and BISHOPS STORTFORD are seen.The LTS line via DAGENHAM to SHOEBURYNESS is covered with LMS 2-6-4 tanks. SPALDING is seen as a diversion off the East Coast line before the North Eastern Region is reached. That is covered by a journey over the STAINMORE line on its last day of service in early 1962 and in 1967 with a K1 hauled special to BISHOP AUCKLAND. Rare footage of the Flying Scotsman train in the 1930′s is included and the GRIMSBY & IMMINGHAM line before it succumbed to closure.

Mostly filmed in colour from 1959 to 1967 but some black and white footage is included. A detailed commentary and authentic sound-track completes a nostalgic look at LNER steam.
