    Has the BBC ever brought out any of these on DVD or Video? I'd really like to watch the Rocket 150 video again.

    had nearly all of them on tape and used to watch them over and over as a small kid in the mid 80s. Ive still got most but some got taped over a long time ago.

    one shot sticks out in my mind and havent been able to find it despite searching.

    a shot of 2 preserved GWR tender engines reversing light engine over a bridge from a low viewpoint, maybe barmouth or Saltash

    can anyone remember which film this shot was in? obscure I know, but something thats just stuck in the back of my mind for a long time.

    cheers
    Mike
