A Day on The Clay, plus The Golden Ochre Years
When D1015 Western Champion spent a day working china clay trips off St Blazey depot in Cornwall on August 30th 2002, it became the first diesel-hydraulic to haul a revenue-earning freight train for more than 25 years. Combining exclusive footage from the footplate and a series of superb lineside sequences, this programme is a detailed record of the day when D1015 re-wrote the history books. The days activities begin at St Blazey, from where the ‘Thousand’ sets off light engine to Fowey Docks to collect a rake of china clay wagons. With D1015 Wired for Sound to capture the distinctive Maybach music, the loco departs with the 6G11 to Goonbarrow. The view from the cab features the scenic run along the Fowey estuary, the climb to Treverrin Tunnel, the spectacular climb through the Luxulyan Valley and the arrival at Goonbarrow sidings. Lineside views then capture the sight and sound of Champion as it works the 6G10 china clay back to Fowey Docks. Packed with Cornish nostalgia, this is a fascinating record of the day that time stood still.

Drawing the Juice - The English Electrics
With so much attention paid to the classic diesel types it’s easy to forget the sterling work put in by the fleet of electric locomotives over the years. Many of these types are now confined to history and so the time is right to look back at the range of mainline electric locos that have run in Britain. Featuring no less than 15 classes of locomotive ranging from 71s & 73s to 76s & 77s, as well as the ac electric fleets, this programme spans almost 50 years of electric traction in the UK. Liveries featured range from B.R. black, electric blue & S.R. malchanite green to VXC, GNER & freightliner.

Hot and Heavy
Take 1,700 tonnes of hot rolled steel, haul it over 140 miles of fierce gradients with a single Class 56, and you have all the ingredients for a train that is hot, heavy, long and LOUD! Add some fine scenery and plenty of semaphore signals and you have the fascinating journey on board the 6M84 Llanwern-Dee Marsh steel train. It is also a journey of contrasting landscapes, from the lowlands of South Wales to the delightful countryside of the Welsh Marches. This is a digitally re-mastered and extended version of the VHS title which was filmed in May 1996.
