    Hello all, when it comes to GWR passenger locomotives, the 'Star' Class have always been my favourite. I've been looking for footage of them at work, but videos across the internet have been scant, which makes sense since their revenue work was done by 1957. I was wondering if any of you know where to find videos of them at work, or where I should potentially look.

    Thanks!

    I don't have it to hand at the moment to check but there is a series of DVDs 'Decades of Steam' by Duke which has extensive film archive of the mainline railways. It even has some colour film of the LMS in the 1930s DVD. You should be able to get the five part set for under a tenner on Ebay :)
