Now ideal power for preserved lines, many have been preserved, a large selection of which are featured in this programme.

British Steam Index Vol.2 - Heavy Freight


Ref: RF560D


Price:£20.00

Quantity:












Freight - particularly coal, ore and steel was the lifeblood of Britain’s railways until the development of a comprehensive road network and the decline of traditional heavy industry. Many thousands of tons of bulk commodities needed big engines - lots of them. Speed didn’t matter, but haulage capacity did. A surprising number of heavy freight engines have survived into preservation, and a good selection appear in this programme.

British Steam Index Vol.7 - Passenger Tanks

British Steam Index Vol.7 - Passenger Tanks


Ref: RF553D


Price:£20.00

Quantity:












The tank engine was first introduced in the middle of the nineteenth century as a means of avoiding running round and turning engines at either end of the journey. The concept caught on and tank engines on passenger trains varied from the diminutive Great Western 0-4-2 tanks on Branch line work to the impressive BR Standard class 4s, which were basically small express engines fitted with side tanks. See them both - with many types in between - in this programme.
