Old Oak Common (30-mins)

Ref: TV796D

Price:£8.95

Quantity:

Old Oak Common was opened in 1906. The locomotive side comprised a four turntable roundhouse, a 12 road shed plus a coaling stage. In the 1930s the depot’s facilities were further improved.

With the decline of steam the depot was changed to facilitate the diesel age. This culminated in the demolition of the roundhouse and construction of the servicing shed.

This programme explores Old Oak Common in the age of steam & diesel traction. Archive film is included from the 1930s and the era of Western Region steam. In addition the depot is explored in the 1970s and 1990s.

Everything from the GWR ‘Kings’ to the depot’s fleet of diesel hydraulics are shown. In addition we go behind the scenes to show the depot’s workshops on a number of tasks and take a look at some of their special repaints. The final part of the DVD features the depot’s open day in 1991 when steam returned to the famous turntable.

Steam 1968

Ref: TV0049D

Price:£13.99

Quantity:

1968 saw the end of a century-and-a-half of our main-line steam railways.

It started with just over 350 steam locomotives in service. Nearly all of the steam working was on freight traffic and some spectacular sights were still to be seen. As the year progressed, withdrawals continued and the remaining sheds were closed – or closed to steam at least.

Steam’s approaching demise was marked by a number of special trains, mostly organised by various enthusiast societies but one or two by BR as well. Right at the end, the 4th of August saw six railtours running in the Manchester and Preston divisional areas – and a week later, the very last train, the ‘Fifteen Guinea Special’ from Liverpool to Carlisle and back.

In this volume we celebrate some of the sights and events of that momentous year.

It comprises:

Steam in Action in 1968 including the Peak District and in and around Stockport, Bolton and the West Coast Main Line, Rose Grove the climb to Copy Pit.

The Last Steam Sheds - Stockport, Patricroft, 10D Lostock Hall, Heaton Mersey, 10F Rose Grove & 10A Carnforth.

The Final Railtours. LCGB Lancastrian, the North West Tour, the Last Day of Steam Railtour and the Fifteen Guinea Special of the 11th August 1968.

After the End. 4472 ‘Flying Scotsman’ on tour around the country. Carnforth Shed in the first months of preservation.
