MR Vol.1 - York 1959-1968 (31-mins) (DVD-R)

Ref: MR201D

Enjoy the atmosphere of a busy railway centre in the 1960s, with over 50 steam-hauled and 15 diesel-hauled trains shown and freight workings threading through the heavy holiday traffic. Dwindling freight traffic and ‘Block’ trains brought about the demise of York's shunting yards, built originally built to re-marshall the large volumes of freight using the East Coast Mainline. Recorded between 1959 and 1968 this video reflectes the decline of the steam locomotive and the emergence of diesel traction.

he West Midlands in the early 1960s was a hive of activity with Stourbridge Junction yards handling large tonnage's of freight both into an out of the Birmingham area. To the northwest, Shrewsbury handled a constant flow of passenger traffic with the Western region running London to Birkenhead services, plus through trains to the Cambrian coast. In addition, routes had to be found for north/south expresses, local branch trains and stopping trains. The steelworks at Brymbo is visited en route way to Chester, where heavy North Wales Coast holiday traffic compteted with freight workings for a path through the station.

Ref: MR208D

The railway map of Birmingham and the west Midlands was extremely complicated with the Midland, London North Western and Great Western railways competing for traffic. This video looks at the area's disappearing rail network of the 1960s, from the Lickey Incline in the south to the Trent Valley line in the north and from Hatton in the east to Oxley in the west. The main line diesel had not invaded these areas in 1963, so ex-LMS and GWR hard at work handling the wide variety of trains for which they had been designed, from long distance freights to branchline pickup goods.

Hellifield Station and Junction, 36 miles from Leeds on the Midland Route North to Carlisle, was still a very busy place in the 1950's. Anglo-Scottish expresses used the Settle & Carlisle route. Boat trains ran to and from Heysham and passenger services departed to and terminated from Carlisle, Skipton and Blackburn. We depart from Skipton behind a Holbeck Jubilee travelling to Hellifield, pausing to look at traffic at Gargrave and Bell Busk stations. Both passenger and freight trains were numerous and varied as was the Motive Power. Pickups, beer trains, excursions, relief trains, Army Specials, block coal trains and Freightliners all feature in this video. From A3, Duchesses and Britannias to lowly 2P 4-4-0 passenger engines, ex-Midland 4F 0-6-0's to BR Standard 9F 2-10-0's and Class 4 Tank Locos there was always something different to be seen. Class 45 Peaks, 25's, 40's and 50's are seen together with some of the 75 daily passenger workings and numerous movements to and from the shed combine to make this a programme of non-stop action. Filmed and recorded between 1959 and 1968. All colour, correct sound.

Market Weighton, East Yorkshire is a collection of memories in an area bounded by York, Bridlington, Driffield and Beverley. The crossing point of two railway lines, the Selby to Driffield and the York to Hull, the main freight from Market Weighton was agricultural, with some scrap metal products. Although all York's platforms were still very busy, Dr. Beeching's cuts had begun to bite, as we watch the closure of the lines, lifting of the tracks and demolition of the stations. However the coast line to Bridlington was and is still very busy and we also look at Beverley Station's famed gardens and watch traffic at North Bar. THe local pickup goods train is seen in its heyday, with the closure notices and the last day's wreath bringing the prgramme to a close. Locos seen include Class 5s, Jubilees, K1s, Ivatt 2-6-0s, Class 25s, 40s and 47s, together with various classes of diesel multiple units. Filmed between 1960 and 1968.

The most famous gradient in England - over 2 miles at 1 in 37.5 - and lying between Birmingham and Gloucester, it posed major operating difficulties during the steam era when banking of northbound trains was required. The programme begins at Stourbridge with a steam-hauled 'Carpet Special' in the station, plus views of the climb from the Town Goods Yard to the junction; followed by scenes at Kidderminster, with gravity-shunting in the extensive yards. At Worcester, the practice of combining the Hereford and Worcester portions of Paddington expresses is seen and at Ashchurch Junction main line expresses speed through as the Tewkesbury Branch train engine, a Midland Railway 3F, shunts its solitary coach. The Lickey Incline poses few challenges to modern diesel traction, but in this programme - filmed between 1960 and 1966 - the most modern locomotives seen are British Railways Type 3 and 4 diesel designs! However, the banking of all but the lightest of trains is why the Lickey Incline was fascinating and a range of steam classes, from the humble Jinty to the mighty 9F, are seen carrying out this arduous work.

For many years Londoners flocked to Waterloo Station at the start of their annual holidays and for a large number their ultimate destination was the Devon and North Cornwall coast. Opened by the London and South Western railway in 1860, the route to Exeter and Plymouth soon grew in popularity, culminating in the introduction of the "Atlantic Coast Express". Until its demise in 1964, the "ACE" was the principal express to the South West and this DVD follows the route of this famous train.

Views at Waterloo, Vauxhall, Clapham Junction and Nine Elms Depot feature a wide variety of steam classes before the city is left behind - appropriately on the footplate of "Merchant Navy" No.35021 heading an "ACE" in 1964. After Basingstoke and Salisbury, Templecombe is the next location recorded in detail, with high speed main line action contrasting with the more sedate movements on the adjoining S&D route.

West of Templevombe, Yeovil, Chard Junction and nearby Chard Central are seen before passing Axminster, which is then followed by Seaton Jct. and Sidmouth Jct. Arrival at Exeter, with "Z" class bankers in evidence, is followed by film of "West Counry" Pacifics at Plymouth, the most southerly location in this film.

Finally, the focus falls on now closed lines that served more rural locations with film that includes Bude, Padstow, Halwill Jct. and the Torrington line to Barnstaple. Concluding this production is a fascinating chapter at the Cornish town of Wadebridge, filmed mainly in 1958, with "Beattie" well tank locomotives still hard at work on the Wenford Bridge mineral branch.

MR Vol.26 - East Midlands Steam (63-mins) (DVD-R)

Ref: MR232D

On 16 October 1965, the ‘Midland Loco Requiem’ railtour, headed by 43953, one of the last Midland Railway Class 4F 0-6-0s, left Nuneaton. The tour followed the ex-MR line through Shackerstone and Gresley to Burton-on-Trent, from where it took the freight-only route to Trent Junction. Leaving north from Trent Junction the tour headed for Kirby-in-Ashfield, Mansfield and Staveley, after which it journeyed down the Bolsover and Glapwell Colliery branch. From here it ran via Chesterfield to the Erewash Valley en route to Pye Bridge and Ambergate, where filming of the tour came to an end due to failing light. The programme also features many scenes at Derby and Nottingham, where trolley buses were still an everyday sight. The programme’s focus is on the wide variety of steam classes that still operated as the 1960s unfolded. From tank locos on the rail network that served the breweries of Burton-on-Trent, to BR-built ‘9F’ 2-10-0s on coal trains through the Trent Valley. ‘Black 5s’, ‘4Fs’ ‘8Fs’ and ‘Scots’ also feature in a programme, which is a reminder of the once immense rail traffic that characterised the East Midlands.

MR Vol.27 - Settle & Carlisle 1959-1967 Part 1 (65-mins) (DVD-R)

Ref: MR233D

Film taken between 1963 and 1967 shows vividly the rugged Pennine landscape, together with many of the numerous viaducts and tunnels that gave the S&C its unique appeal. In addition, views of the line's larger stations at Carlisle, Settle and Appleby are shown, plus many of the stations which succumbed to closure in 1970. These include Horton-in-Ribblesdale, Ribblehead, Dent, Garsdale, Culgaith and Little Salkeld. At Kirkby Stephen, both the town's West and the former North Eastern Railway East stations feature, together with sequences on the long-closed Stainmore Route from Barnard Castle. Early diesel classes such as 'Peaks', Sulzer Type 2s and diesel railcars are shown, but it is the sight and sounds of the steam locomotive in the form of Black 5s, Jubilees, Britannias, 9Fs, plus the occasional 'Crab', Austerity 2-8-0 and 4F hard at work on passenger and freight at a wide variety of locations between Hellifield and Carlisle that make this programme a fascinating visual record.

MR Vol.28 - Harrogate & District (65-mins) (DVD-R)

Ref: MR234D

We start at Leeds’s Central Station and after leaving the city, the first views are at Bramhope and Arthington where the now closed line to Otley diverged west at Arthington Jct. Harrogate is eighteen miles from Leeds and in 1964 was a busy rail centre, handling both freight and passenger traffic. Diverging from the Ripon line on the northeast outskirts of Harrogate was the line to York via Knaresborough, and on this route Starbeck and the Boroughbridge branch are featured. North of Harrogate, workings are shown at numerous locations, including Nidd Bridge and Ripley Jct.: most stations between Ripon and Northallerton plus a journey from Ripon to Melmerby Junction and Masham. Steam traction on the routes consisted mainly of ex-LNER classes including A1s, A3s, A4s, B1s and K1s plus diesel types ranging from shunters and DMUs to Type 4s and ‘Deltics’. This transitional period and the later rundown of the lines is captured on film between 1961 and 1967. The programme is a fascinating visual record of routes, some of which have now passed into history.

MR Vol.30 - Sheffield & North Derbyshire (77-mins) (DVD-R)

Ref: MR236D

The programme starts at Sheffield, with film taken at the now-closed Victoria Station between 1932 and 1979 showing a wide variety of steam traction, ranging from Great Central Railway and Great Northern Railway designs through to British Railways ‘Britannia’ Pacifics. The unique 1500dc-electric system that linked Sheffield to Manchester via the Woodhead Route is also featured, with the BR-built electric locomotives shown at various locations on the tortuous line, which closed in 1981. Another electrically-powered transport system could also be found in Sheffield in the 1950s, in the form of the city’s original tram system and a film made in 1958 from Beauchief to the city centre is an interesting reminder of the period.

Sheffield is left behind on board a steam-hauled service in 1964, with a detailed film sequence that traces the 25-mile route from the city’s Midland Station to Chinley in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District. A famous feature of the area’s rail system was the Cromford and High Peak Railway which, together with film of the route from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne, highlights the diversity of rail operation that existed until the closures of the 1960s.

From the rural setting of the Peak District, the programme goes onto feature the industrial town of Chesterfield, where a stud of Midland Railway-built tank locomotives was still active until 1965. Next to be highlighted is the Nottinghamshire town of Worksop, with film taken in the early 1960s showing the scale of the town’s freight and passenger workings.

Finally, a fascinating film made by the British Transport Commission in 1961 shows Sheffield’s outdated rail system and outlines the ambitious plans drawn up for the modernisation of the city.

MR Vol.31 - Yorkshire Byways (70-mins) (DVD-R)

Ref: MR237D

The programme starts in 1962 at Goole, with an ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway 'Pug' at work in the docks and the town's engine shed still home to a large number of steam locomotives. From Goole, the focus moves to Hull, where trolley buses still operated in the city's streets while rail services maintained links with the coastal resorts of Hornsea and Withernsea. Journeys on both these routes are featured.

Moving north to Bridlington, a steam-hauled special working is joined for a journey to Filey, Whitby and Scarborough, where summer excursion traffic from Lancashire and the West Riding was still in the hands of steam traction. From Scarborough, the enthusiasts' special used the coast line to Whitby and it was filmed at a variety of locations on this long-closed route.

Another long-closed route from Whitby is also featured - the thirty-five mile-long line to Pickering and Malton. In addition to scenes on the route as it crosses the North Yorkshire Moors, rare film shows a diesel shunter retrieving wagons at Pickering prior to closure of the line, together with the arrival of the Royal Train at Pickering after the station's closure!

Moving nearer to York, the Derwent Valley Light Railway is shown, together with views of the city centre and the busy East Coast Main Line. In the city's streets, the numerous buses of the former West Yorkshire Road Car Company highlight the intense competition faced by British Railways to retain passengers on its network.

Views of the Clayton West, Holmfirth and Meltham branches are a reminder of the local network that was swept away in the 1960s. Moving west to Halifax, the High Level branch from Holmfield to Pellon and St. Paul's is shown, followed by scenes on the Queensbury route and the Worth Valley branch in pre-preservation days.

The final section includes a journey in 1962 on the line from Wilpshire to Hellifield and, at Hellifield, a variety of scenes reflect the intensity of traffic that used the junction. Moving north on to the Settle and Carlisle route beyond Hellifield, impressive film shows double-headed Class '9Fs' at work, sharing the route with 'Jubilees' from Leeds Holbeck depot in their last years of service.
