This compilation of footage from the BBC television series 'Railway Roundabout' features archive material from the 1960s, supplied by the National Railway Museum, York. Railway artist Terence Cuneo is seen at work, and there is also film of the Talyllyn and Ffestioniog lines.

A selection of archive films from the camera of Geoff Holyoake. His material covers a wealth of steam locomotive types from the South Western, including the oldest surviving member of the LSWR to the last Bulleid’s running on the Main Line in 1967. For all of you who remember Waterloo as the start of wonderful holidays in Hampshire and Dorset – or as the start of yet another day’s work! – this dvd will bring back many memories of the last days of steam in the 1960s. To the Southern enthusiast it brings back happy memories of Bulleids Nelsons, M7s, Arthurs, green coaches, Nine Elms, Eastleigh and branches. Geoff Holyoake filmed all these, and more, on 16mm colour film for his Meteor Films, which were sold in 8mm film form many years before video came on the scene.
