Thanks for some great filming , Brought back some memories of when I was kid / young teenager. As a family we took our holidays in Swanage, my parents didn’t drive so traveled there by train, a cream and maroon British railways lorry would come to the house to collect a tea chest with our beach toys and our suitcase tied up with rope. Now I’m a grandad still holidaying in Swanage with my family
I have this on DVD. The footage is invaluable, but I wish they didn’t dedicate over half of the film to the GWR. The LNER got just about five minutes worth of focus in comparison, but the LMS had a lot of interesting LNWR and North Staffordshire footage.
Love that this series concentrates on the GWR around Leamington and Warwick

Great sound effects match up.

Even the humblest engine had a clean boiler. The next decade would not see such circumspection.
Good video, like !!!
