THE DEFINITIVE RAIL FREIGHT TODAY ARCHIVE COLLECTION 

Volume 1 

COAL 

When the original Rail Freight Today series first 

appeared in 1989 it caused a sensation. Never 

before – or since – has anyone looked in such 

detail at the rail freight scene. 

Over the decades rail freight has 

changed out of all recognition – many 

traffic flows have been lost or have 

had to be adapted as customers 

responded to changing demands. 

Based on our original material shot 20 

years ago for the Rail Freight Today series, 

now re-edited in DVD quality with a brand new 

script from acknowledged rail freight expert Paul 

Shannon, this is a great way to look back at an era of 

enormous variety. Locomotives, liveries and many freight services 

have all come and gone, and these scenes are now part of an important 

historic record. 

Featuring all the major coal flows 

from Wales, Scotland, North West 

England, the Midlands, the 


North East. If you still 

hanker after the days when 

there was real variety of 

motive power including class 

08, 20, 26, 31, 37, 47, 56, 

58, 60, this brand new 

series will be of special 

interest.

track to Quedlinburg with the magnificent and 

steeply graded climb to the snowy Brocken summit.

the world this futuristic mono rail actually opened in 1901.

Railwaymen Reminiscing 

Memories of North West Steam – Part 1 & 2 

In some ways, thanks mainly to nostalgic archive 

programmes, it seems like only yesterday when British 

Railways steam was an everyday sight. Although we are 

fortunate to enjoy so much cine film from the days of 

working steam, up until now recording the familiar 

working life of railwaymen in their own words has been 

somewhat neglected. 

This significant new series sets out to tell the story of 

what life was like for the men who worked on the 

railway with steam, from cleaners to controllers and 

footplate crews. 

This is an important social record of what life was really like delving into 

every aspect of a typical working day, explained by each person using 

their own words. The fascinating interviews give a rare insight into those 

halcyon days and are carefully illustrated with suitable archive film 

including rare footplate views of locos at speed on the main line. 

This new DVD includes two complete programmes high lighting 

the up and downs of working life when steam still played a vital 

role in transporting both goods and passengers.

Behind the Scenes 

Today’s Fastline Collection is a unique reference source of both 

stills and films created originally by the Photographic Unit of the 

Chief Civil Engineer of the LNER in York, and his successors on 

British Railways. The Unit was the last railway-owned 

photographic team and became part of Fastline Track Renewals 

at Privatisation, within Andrew Dow’s 

responsibilities. 

Thanks to the foresight of Andrew Dow the 

wonderful collection of original films and photographs 

of the LNER is now available for the delight of 

Railfans. 

Volume 1 On the Right Track includes the new Matisa 

tamper 1947, and the spectacular testing of 

concrete sleepers to destruction. 

Volume 2 Early on-track Machines includes the Morris 

Tracklayer, ballast cleaners, and tampers. 

Volume 3 Civil Engineering includes remodelling a 

junction, renewing a diamond crossing, 

bridge removals and renewals

buffer stop testing at Bradford 1946.

The Gavin Morrison 

Gavin Morrison needs no introduction 

to most railfans – his evocative 

photographs of British steam during the 

glory days are justifiably well known 

and loved throughout the world. 

However, few people realise that Gavin 

Morrison is also a talented film 

cameraman, and while out 

photographing steam he often turned 

his attention to producing a superb 

high quality film record as well. 

Much of the footage in this series has 

never been viewed publicly before – 

and certainly not in this unique form. 

The Gavin Morrison Collection is a 

highly original chronological series, 

spanning the years from 1962 to the 

early years of preservation after the end 

of mainline steam in 1968. These 

superb programmes give a fresh and 

stunning new insight into the glorious 

years of steam. 

Volume 1 1962–1964 

Volume 2 1964–1966

There are few aspects 

of model making that 

are surrounded by 

more myth and mystery 

than the art of air brushing. However by 

studying this specially produced programme you too 

can become an Air Brush Expert! 

Old fashioned brush painting methods can never 

match up to the superb ‘scale appearance’, achieved 

by spray painting with an air brush. 

In the first of Model Rail’s EXPERT series of special 

video programmes, DARREN SHERWOOD takes you 

through everything you need to know about air 

brushing – from choosing the right equipment, to 

paint mixing, spraying techniques, cleaning and care, 

to weathering. 

With support from air brush makers, Revell, and paint 

manufacturers Phoenix Precision and Railmatch, 

Darren demonstrates how to prepare your models 

and apply the paint and

weathering job 

possible. 

Although most 

models are supplied 

'ex works' from the 

box it's easy to 

forget that railways 

are a naturally dirty 

environment. They 

operate within urban, industrial and rural areas, 

running through all weathers and, down the years, 

have carried all manner of materials. 

With the expert help of George Dent a variety of 

different techniques are demonstrated including 

easy weathering with Tamiya weathering Master 

pigments, applying faded shades of the EWS finish, 

aiming for a tired paint job but generally clean. 

Weathering track with an airbrush. Using Scenic 

Rust and Tensocrom Glazes on buildings. Producing 

a dirty loco, but weathered using paints and 

powders. Producing the look of a working but well 

cleaned loco, using metalcote enamels buffed-up to 

give an oily shine. The end of steam neglected look 

using a combination of techniques.

The SETTLE & 

CARLISLE Railway 

from the AIR 

An aerial survey of one of Britain’s 

most spectacular rail routes 

Of all of Britain’s Great Railway Journeys surely 

one of the most dramatic is that across the fells 

and moors between Settle and Carlisle. A line that 

has survived against all the odds to fight another 

day. The immense engineering and construction 

feat has left a legacy that provides the traveller 

with some of the most dramatic of train window 

views anywhere. Today the railway is busier than 

ever, carrying local people, hill walkers and heavy 

freight. The route regularly sees steam locomotives 

and enthusiasts chase the ultimate nostalgic 

experience of riding “the long drag”. Supporting 

organisations have helped restore station buildings 

and conserved a railway legend. 

This programme, using the latest helicopter 

gyroscopic film techniques, introduces a new 

dimension for the traveller, allowing the full 

majesty of the line to be fully appreciated. Time is 

taken to pause at some of the attractive villages 

along the route whilst there is no better way to 

appreciate the full impact of Ribblehead viaduct 

and others than from the air. For those who long for 

the days of steam a bonus section of additional 

footage provides that final nostalgic element.

THE 

DIESELS 

Roger Siviter 

This series of programmes concentrates on 

loco-hauled diesel action in the late 1980s 

early 1990s. Roger & Christina Siviter were at 

the lineside to record a time when the winds 

of change for Britain’s Railways were blowing 

at gale force. BR’s five business sectors 

(InterCity, Provincial, Freight, Parcels and 

Network South East) were paving the way for 

full-scale privatisation. Locomotive haulage of 

passenger trains was on the way out. New 

trains in new liveries were on the way in. 

Volume One – Waterloo – Exeter 

& Diesels in Wessex 

Relegated to a single track secondary route by the 

short term economy-driven culture of the 60s,the 

Waterloo-Salisbury-Exeter route has experienced 

gradual increases in passenger numbers as the 

boom years of the 1990s made long distance 

commuting popular, demanding plenty of reliable, 

fast trains to London. Class 50s displaced by HSTS 

from the Great Western main line should have 

been tailor made for the rival Southern Railway 

route to the west. With 100mph capability, plenty 

of horsepower and long range fuel tanks we 

witness them at work over the entire length of 

the line in their final years, inevitably bolstered 

by class 47s and 33s. 

Diesels in Wessex 

It’s May 1990, and the Mendip stone boom is in full cry. 

The majority of trains of aggregates to feed the 

burgeoning Home Counties construction industry still 

have class 56s in charge, but the General Motors 

revolution is just beginning in the shape of Foster 

Yeoman’s class 59s. this part of the programme records 

not only these workings but InterCity and local trains as 

well. This is followed by a look at class 47s on passenger 

and mail trains in the Taunton area, and the comings and 

goings around the magnificent train shed of Bristol 

Temple Meads.

Volume Two – Diesels 

in Devon and Cornwall 

Diesels in Devon 

In this programme we see locohaulage 

combined mainly, but 

not entirely, to cross-country 

passenger services, with most 

London services in the hands 

of HSTs. BR’s Intercity Sector 

is giving way to First Great 

Western and Virgin trains, 

and class 47s rule the railway. 

Railway traditions like holiday extras to Paignton and the 

West are alive and well, bringing in class 31s as well as 

the occasional Freight sector Class 47 pressed into 

service on busy summer weekends. Freight to the west 

is largely in the hands of class 37s, often in pairs, and 

Network South East’s class 50s work some services west 

of Exeter to Paignton and to Plymouth. Dawlish sea wall 

and the rolling countryside of Dainton and Rattery banks 

provide the main backdrop for Roger’s cameras in this 

feast of Devonian Diesel action. 

Diesels in Cornwall 

Brunel’s Royal Albert Bridge stands as proud as ever, 

seemingly impervious to the changing fleet of classes 37, 

47 and 50 on freight, passenger , parcels and mail trains 

heading to and from West of the Tamar. BR’s Intercity 

Sector is metamorphosing into Virgin Cross Country and 

First Great Western, while Cornwall’s famous China Clay 

freights centred on St Blazey transfer from Railfreight 

Distribution through the short-lived Transrail to Americanowned 

EWS. We see some of the final class 50 turns on 

local passenger trains, 37s on China Clay freights, 47s on 

passengers and mails, and a good collection of HSTs. Oh, 

and we see a few DMUs and railtours, as well! And all 

set against Cornwall’s unique railway landscape.

Volume Three – 

Diesels in the 

Highlands 

The end of the 1980s and 

beginning of the 1990s was a 

period of great change on 

Scot land’s railways. The 

traditional loco plus coaches 

formations which attracted 

so many enthusiasts north 

of the border were on the 

way out, and the Sprinter rev - 

olution – which had already started on shorter distance 

trains in the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas – was 

gathering momentum to oust locomotive haulage 

completely within a few short years. 

Well-known photographer Roger Siviter made several 

trips to Scotland to document the changing scene, 

attracted not only by the scenery but also by the amount 

of surviving traditional infrastructure and signalling. Like 

many still photographers do today with digital cam - 

corders, Roger would often also take moving pictures, 

using then state of the art Super-8 sound cameras. 

Sometimes Roger would simply let trains run through the 

scene while at others his wife Christina, his companion 

on so many railway trips, would operate the cine camera. 

This collection of Rogers work, covering a variety of 

passenger and freight workings in the early years of the 

1990s, on some of Scotland’s main scenic rail routes 

starts with a journey from Edinburgh to Dundee and 

Aberdeen, via both the Forth Bridge and Stirling. Also the 

rarely photographed line from Aberdeen to Inverness. This 

is followed by action on the Highland Line – Perth to 

Inverness and then from Inverness to the far north and 

Kyle of Lochalsh. Also, Fort William to Mallaig on the 

West Highland Extension Railway. Class 47s,and 37s 

feature throughout with glimpses of class 20, 26 and 56. 

An operational railway scene that has changed for ever 

and yet recorded here for posterity.
