Thank you very much for your kind comments. I wrote, directed and produced the film for TVS in Maidstone. It received an ITV Network transmission thanks to Thames Television. The film was a labour of love. I was of an age when I had experienced steam locos first hand. I chose Chris Hughes to present the film because of his encyclopaedic knowledge of all things railway. He turned out to be a natural. Sadly, we were not able to interest TV companies in further, railway related, projects. Of course, he continues to get plenty of exposure on Eggheads. Several of my films are on RUclips. I continue to be amazed by the number of ‘hits’ that I get (anything between 50,000 and 81,000 ). Thank you again for your interest.

@@earwise I was 14 when this was broadcast, then a decade later I was fortunate enough to join the staff of the National Railway Museum. While I was there I completed an MA in Railway Studies at the University of York. The insights into railway history shown in your film inspired me both professionaly and academically.
