heritage steam action in the UK, the regular routine and<br />
everyday working life of the railway crews who worked<br />
with steam has now become a distant memory that’s all<br />
too easy to forget.<br />
This important series sets out to provide an enter -<br />
taining social account of what life was really like back<br />
in steam days, delving into every aspect of a typical<br />
working day, explained by each person using their<br />
own words. From cleaners to controllers and<br />
footplate crews, the fascinating interviews give a rare<br />
insight into those halcyon days and are carefully<br />
illustrated with suitable archive film, including rare<br />

Although most<br />
models are supplied<br />
‘ex works’ from the<br />
box it’s easy to<br />
forget that railways<br />
are a naturally dirty<br />
environment. They<br />
operate within urban, industrial and rural areas,<br />
running through all weathers and, down the years,<br />
have carried all manner of materials.<br />
With the expert help of George Dent a variety of<br />
different techniques are demonstrated including<br />
easy weathering with Tamiya weathering Master<br />
pigments, applying faded shades of the EWS<br />
finish, aiming for a tired paint job but generally<br />
clean. Weathering track with an airbrush. Using<br />
Scenic Rust and Tensocrom Glazes on buildings.<br />
Producing a dirty loco, but weathered using paints<br />
and powders. Producing the look of a working but<br />
well cleaned loco, using metalcote enamels<br />
buffed-up to give an oily shine. The end of steam<br />
neglected look using a combination of techniques.<br />
DCC Expert<br />
For nearly half a<br />
century the basic<br />
prin ciples of<br />
operating model<br />
electric train<br />
layouts have<br />
remained<br />
remarkably similar.<br />
But now, at long<br />
last, things can be<br />
very different.<br />
By using Digital<br />
Command Control<br />
it’s possible to actually ‘drive’ each train.<br />
Complicated shunting manoeuvres and even<br />
banking operations can also be reliably<br />
accomplished. Drivers will appreciate the real<br />
‘feel’ to each loco motives individual control, with<br />
both acceleration and deceler ation being<br />
accurately program mable for different train<br />
loads.<br />
This great programme shows all the basics in<br />
detail, including how to wire the track and<br />
points. As well as looking at how to install a<br />
DCC decoder in locos, there’s also a chance to<br />
look at plenty of working DCC adapted models<br />
including some with accurate on board sound.<br />

The ‘Cam’ Camwell<br />
COLLECTION<br />
W.A. ‘Cam’ Camwell was one of the most active railway enthusiasts<br />
during the 1950s and 60s – the period during which British Railways<br />
moved from steam to diesel and electric traction and many railway<br />
lines and branches passed into history.<br />
His membership of the Stephenson Locomotive Society led him to<br />
organise many tours of threatened or interesting railway lines and he<br />
enthusiastically recorded as much of the railway network as possible<br />
both in photographs and on 16mm cine film. The latter forms the basis<br />
of this series of programmes, as Cam filmed many remote and<br />
obscure lines, as well as interesting developments, on the main lines.<br />
”There is only one thing a reviewer needs to say<br />
about this series: every reader is urged to go<br />
out and buy it”... ”possibly the most<br />
comprehensive and best quality record of BR<br />
steam days ever...” Heritage Railway Magazine<br />
”...Railfilms have done a marvellous job of<br />
researching the historical background to the<br />
scenes and has added a most illuminating and<br />
informative commentary”. Railway Magazine<br />

WELSH<br />
HIGHLAND<br />
NEW<br />
Without a doubt, the re-birth of the Welsh highland is<br />
the greatest railway heritage story of our times.<br />
Begun in the 1870s, this fascinating narrow-gauge line,<br />
built through some of Britain’s most glorious scenery,<br />
was bankrupt almost from the start. Struggling on,<br />
dogged by misfortune and mismanagement, its 23 miles<br />
were not fully completed until 1923 – and even then it<br />
failed to reach its ultimate goal of Caernarfon. Then,<br />
after just fourteen brief years, it closed down – to be<br />
sold off for scrap in the Second World War, while the<br />
trackbed reverted to farmland and wilderness, in places<br />
vanishing altogether.<br />
A full half century was to pass before the railway<br />
preservation movement became confident and<br />
established enough to attempt to waken this sleeping<br />
beauty. The rebuilding of the Welsh Highland, from<br />
scratch, would lead through a quagmire of debt,<br />
scheming, and politics high and low, while steam<br />
engineers searched the world for suitable locomotives<br />
and rolling stock.<br />
This programme tells the story of how that<br />
seemingly impossible dream was conceived,<br />
nurtured and finally completed – all the way to<br />
Caernarfon. Rare historic and contemporary film<br />
is backed by nostalgic scenes of the wilderness<br />
years, now themselves history, while several of<br />
the key players involved tell of their part in<br />
bringing the dream to reality. With wide-ranging<br />
appeal to tourists, historians and enthusiasts<br />
alike, this programme forms a lasting record of<br />
a truly remarkable achievement.<br />
Bonus Footage! A final segment of the programme is devoted to 10<br />
minutes bonus footage featuring steam action on the South African<br />
Railway’s narrow gauge in the 1980s. A source for equipment essential<br />
to the rebuilding of the Welsh Highland and a source that through its<br />
existence helped ensure that a dream could indeed come true.<br />

Porthmadog by gravity slate train. All are<br />
brought together in this programme, along<br />
with some historic clips of original scenes in<br />

Sir Walter Scott<br />
The Steamship Sir Walter Scott – A Living Legend – Since 1900<br />
the steamship Sir Walter Scott has been sailing majestically on<br />
Loch Katrine, allowing today’s visitor the opportunity to experience<br />
a bygone age, in a landscape of unmatched splendour.<br />
18<br />
This programme recounts the story of this famous vessel and<br />
captures the very essence of a land steeped in history and<br />
atmosphere. The recent rebuild of the ship, vital to maintain its<br />
tradition and support the local tourist industry, is also told. A story<br />
that could so easily have ended in disaster were it not for the<br />
support of a new owning and managing Trust, a valuable Friends’<br />
organisation, the Scottish Government and much local enthusiasm.<br />
A £2m rescue package has enabled the ship to be rebuilt with<br />
refurbished engine, new boilers and a host of updated facilities so<br />
securing the future for a piece of unique maritime history. Sir Walter<br />
Scott first steamed on Loch Katrine in 1900. Today, over 100 years<br />
later, she still does the job she was built for: steaming between<br />
Trossachs Pier and Stronachlachar, a vital part of Scotland’s tourist<br />
industry in an area of outstanding natural beauty.<br />
Converted to environmentally friendly bio fuel steam operation<br />
Sir Walter Scott is ready for the next 100 years of service on the<br />
tranquil waters of Loch Katrine. Within the programme aerial<br />
photography, historic pictures and previously unpublished archive<br />
film capture the spirit of this endeavour.<br />

STEAM<br />
All aboard for the trip of a lifetime! Relive those nostalgic days of steam<br />
in this new programme specially produced for The Fellsman by Railfilms.<br />
Over 80 minutes of fascinating footage, archive material and recent<br />
action shots. This programme, in two indexed parts, provides a unique<br />
insight into the celebrated Fellsman steam excursions that have carried<br />
thousands of people over the famous Settle and Carlisle railway on a<br />
journey back in time to the days when steam was king and when the<br />
journey was as exciting as the destination.<br />
FELLSMAN STEAM (Part One)<br />
In Part One join the train for its journey north.<br />
With special unrestricted access to the<br />
footplate, there is a chance to witness the<br />
challenging work of the footplate crew as they<br />
shovel tons of coal into the firebox, keep a<br />
steady head of steam and get their<br />
passengers to Carlisle on time. Expertly shot<br />
lineside views provide an enthralling<br />
spectacle as the train charges north to<br />
Carlisle. An informative narration plus<br />
captions, maps and aerial photography of the<br />
famous Ribblehead viaduct complete the<br />
experience and tell the story of The Fellsman,<br />
Britain’s most exhilarating steam adventure!<br />
FELLSMAN MOTIVE POWER (Part Two)<br />
In this segment of the programme we meet<br />
some of the steam engines that provide the<br />
“pool” of motive power based at Carnforth’s<br />
depot and that on occasion operate on<br />
Fellsman duties. With much previously<br />
unpublished archive film, enjoy the sights and<br />
sounds of LMS Jubilee Leander, LMS Royal<br />
Scot “Scots Guardsman”, LMS 8F No: 48151<br />
and Black Five 44932. See members of the<br />
classes at work in their heyday, and as seen<br />
today, having been successful survivors into<br />
the world of railway preservation. The<br />
producers acknowledge the contribution of<br />
locomotive crews and preservationists<br />
without whom much of Britain’s unique steam<br />
railway heritage would not exist and without<br />
whom the celebrated Fellsman could not<br />
operate. Produced for Statesman Rail Ltd.<br />

DIESELS<br />
This series of programmes concentrates on<br />
loco-hauled diesel action in the late 1980s<br />
early 1990s. Roger & Christina Siviter were at<br />
the lineside to record a time when the winds<br />
of change for Britain’s Railways were blowing<br />
at gale force. BR’s five business sectors<br />
(InterCity, Provincial, Freight, Parcels and<br />
Network South East) were paving the way for<br />
full-scale privatisation. Locomotive haulage of<br />
passenger trains was on the way out. New<br />
trains in new liveries were on the way in.<br />
OUT<br />
NOW<br />
Volume One – Waterloo – Exeter<br />
& Diesels in Wessex<br />
Relegated to a single track secondary route by the<br />
short term economy-driven culture of the 60s,the<br />
Waterloo-Salisbury-Exeter route has experienced<br />
gradual increases in passenger numbers as the<br />
boom years of the 1990s made long distance<br />
commuting popular, demanding plenty of reliable,<br />
fast trains to London. Class 50s displaced by HSTS<br />
from the Great Western main line should have<br />
been tailor made for the rival Southern Railway<br />
route to the west. With 100mph capability, plenty<br />
of horsepower and long range fuel tanks we<br />
witness them at work over the entire length of<br />
the line in their final years, inevitably bolstered<br />
by class 47s and 33s.<br />
Diesels in Wessex<br />
It’s May 1990, and the Mendip stone boom is in full cry.<br />
The majority of trains of aggregates to feed the<br />
burgeoning Home Counties construction industry still<br />
have class 56s in charge, but the General Motors<br />
revolution is just beginning in the shape of Foster<br />
Yeoman’s class 59s. this part of the programme records<br />
not only these workings but InterCity and local trains as<br />
well. This is followed by a look at class 47s on passenger<br />
and mail trains in the Taunton area, and the comings and<br />
goings around the magnificent train shed of Bristol<br />
Temple Meads.<br />

Volume Two – Diesels<br />
in Devon and Cornwall<br />
Diesels in Devon<br />
In this programme we see locohaulage<br />
combined mainly, but<br />
not entirely, to cross-country<br />
passenger services, with most<br />
London services in the hands<br />
of HSTs. BR’s Intercity Sector<br />
is giving way to First Great<br />
Western and Virgin trains,<br />
and class 47s rule the railway.<br />
Railway traditions like holiday extras to Paignton and the<br />
West are alive and well, bringing in class 31s as well as<br />
the occasional Freight sector Class 47 pressed into<br />
service on busy summer weekends. Freight to the west<br />
is largely in the hands of class 37s, often in pairs, and<br />
Network South East’s class 50s work some services west<br />
of Exeter to Paignton and to Plymouth. Dawlish sea wall<br />
and the rolling countryside of Dainton and Rattery banks<br />
provide the main backdrop for Roger’s cameras in this<br />
feast of Devonian Diesel action.<br />
Diesels in Cornwall<br />
Brunel’s Royal Albert Bridge stands as proud as ever,<br />
seemingly impervious to the changing fleet of classes 37,<br />
47 and 50 on freight, passenger , parcels and mail trains<br />
heading to and from West of the Tamar. BR’s Intercity<br />
Sector is metamorphosing into Virgin Cross Country and<br />
First Great Western, while Cornwall’s famous China Clay<br />
freights centred on St Blazey transfer from Railfreight<br />
Distribution through the short-lived Transrail to Americanowned<br />
EWS. We see some of the final class 50 turns on<br />
local passenger trains, 37s on China Clay freights, 47s on<br />
passengers and mails, and a good collection of HSTs. Oh,<br />
and we see a few DMUs and railtours, as well! And all<br />
set against Cornwall’s unique railway landscape.<br />

Volume Three –<br />
Diesels in the<br />
Highlands<br />
The end of the 1980s and<br />
beginning of the 1990s was a<br />
period of great change on<br />
Scot land’s railways. The<br />
traditional loco plus coaches<br />
formations which attracted<br />
so many enthusiasts north<br />
of the border were on the<br />
way out, and the Sprinter rev -<br />
olution – which had already started on shorter distance<br />
trains in the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas – was<br />
gathering momentum to oust locomotive haulage<br />
completely within a few short years.<br />
Well-known photographer Roger Siviter made several<br />
trips to Scotland to document the changing scene,<br />
attracted not only by the scenery but also by the amount<br />
of surviving traditional infrastructure and signalling. Like<br />
many still photographers do today with digital cam -<br />
corders, Roger would often also take moving pictures,<br />
using then state of the art Super-8 sound cameras.<br />
Sometimes Roger would simply let trains run through the<br />
scene while at others his wife Christina, his companion<br />
on so many railway trips, would operate the cine camera.<br />
This collection of Rogers work, covering a variety of<br />
passenger and freight workings in the early years of the<br />
1990s, on some of Scotland’s main scenic rail routes<br />
starts with a journey from Edinburgh to Dundee and<br />
Aberdeen, via both the Forth Bridge and Stirling. Also the<br />
rarely photographed line from Aberdeen to Inverness. This<br />
is followed by action on the Highland Line – Perth to<br />
Inverness and then from Inverness to the far north and<br />
Kyle of Lochalsh. Also, Fort William to Mallaig on the<br />
West Highland Extension Railway. Class 47s,and 37s<br />
feature throughout with glimpses of class 20, 26 and 56.<br />
An operational railway scene that has changed for ever<br />
and yet recorded here for posterity.<br />

Featuring the entire Richard Willis Collection<br />
The 1960s were to prove to be<br />
the last decade in which the<br />
steam locomotive was to be<br />
used in public service on the<br />
national railway network of<br />
Great Britain. It had held sway<br />
for virtually one and a half<br />
centuries and its charisma had<br />
created a devoted following<br />
amongst the male population<br />
of the country of its birth that<br />
amounted almost to a cult.<br />
For much of its lifetime the steam locomotive fleet’s history was recorded in<br />
print, and whilst a vast knowledge base was built up by professional and<br />
amateur historians alike very few took an opportunity to record the working<br />
scene on movie film.<br />
Moving images of the steam locomotive are therefore rare in<br />
comparison as the professional railwayman had little need of such<br />
footage other than for publicity purposes. We are then indeed fortunate<br />
that there were such amateur movie cameramen as Richard Willis who<br />
recorded these priceless images of everyday steam in action. It is from<br />
his unique collection that this series of five programmes has been<br />
created.<br />

● TITLES IN THE SERIES ●<br />
Volume 1 – Home Territories<br />
Richard Willis was brought up in Leicestershire, near the county<br />
town, so it is to his ‘home territory’ that this first programme is<br />
devoted. He started filming in the early 1960s when steam had less<br />
than a decade still to run. Diesel trains - such as the Blue Pullman<br />
were already making inroads. This first volume is devoted to this<br />
changing scene.<br />
Including: Leicester MPD, Belgrave & Birstall, Rugby, Croxton,<br />
Aylestone Fields, Leicester Central, Abbey Lane, Rothley,<br />
Loughborough, Nottingham Victoria and many other lineside<br />
locations.<br />
Volume 2 – Midland Memories<br />
Venturing out from his ‘home territory’ Richard Willis now brings us<br />
a varied collection of railway locations on what is a fascinating<br />
Midland Railway lineside ramble. The programme starts at one of<br />
the great cathedrals of steam - St Pancras. It is from here that we<br />
travel northwards through Kettering, Market Harborough, Leicester,<br />
Ketton and Collyweston, Syston, Desford, Derby, Leeds, Kirkby<br />
Stephen West, Carlisle, Manchester Victoria, Stockport, Crewe,<br />
Nuneaton, Birmingham (New Street) and more. Including action<br />
from Stanier 8Fs, Jubilees, Crab, WD, Black5s, Britannias and<br />
Duchesses.<br />
Volume 3 – East Coast Thoroughbreds<br />
To many people the classic view of the East Coast Main Line would<br />
include a Gresley Pacific at speed. To Richard Willis, this was the end<br />
of an era that he painstakingly just had to record on 16mm cine film.<br />
The result is his record of a mainline steam railway that was as<br />
individual as its locomotives.<br />
This incredible journey of remembrance starts at London’s King’s<br />
Cross station and includes scenes at Abbott’s Ripton, Peterborough,<br />
Burton Coggles, Grantham, Torworth, Leeds Central, York, York<br />
Shed, Northallerton, Durham, Newcastle, Edinburgh and other<br />
lineside locations. Including classes A1, A3, A4, V2 and many more.<br />
Volume 4 – Last Steam Mainlines<br />
In this programme Richard Willis takes his camera to record the last<br />
mainline steam at a variety of well-known locations. The programme<br />
starts at Waterloo; terminus for the West of England main line to<br />
Salisbury and Exeter and the Bournemouth and Weymouth main<br />
lines. Including lineside locations at Weybridge, Chertsey,<br />
Brookwood, Pirbright Junc, Cove, Fleet, Farnborough, Overton,<br />
Salisbury, Brockenhurst, Hinton Admiral, Bournemouth,<br />
Other last main lines include scenes at Leicester, Derby, Banbury,<br />
and York before a final part of the programme looks at the West<br />
Coast Main Line with scenes in the Lune Gorge, at Grayrigg, Tebay,<br />
Scout Green and Carlisle.<br />

Volume 5 – Western and North Western<br />
In this final programme of the Richard Willis collection we discover<br />
once more how he was keen to record what at the time were the<br />
everyday scenes of the working railway in the 1960s. The film starts<br />
with a record of the Oxfordshire branch line scene before moving on<br />
to Aynho Junc, Banbury, Leamington Spa, Snow Hill, Wellington,<br />
<strong>Here</strong>ford’s Barr’s Court, Welshpool, Oswestry, Stratford-upon-Avon,<br />
then across to Helpstone, Claypole and Doncaster and northwards<br />
to Chester, Colwyn Bay and Holyhead.<br />
Finally, in August 1968, to the steam heartlands of the northwest at<br />
Manchester Victoria and Carnforth the Age of Steam came to its<br />
conclusion.<br />
