Footage includes: - the Mighty Pacific's of the Southern Railway - Memories of the Great Western Railway - the Magnificent workhorses of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway steam engines - Preserved locomotives of the London & North Eastern Railway including the Flying Scotsman and Sir Nigel Gresley - War Department and British Rail designs, culminating in mighty tank engines and ten-coupled freight engines.
