Vol.5: The English Midlands Homelands

Living in Birmingham Cam recorded many events and everyday workings in the 'Heart of England'. Few escaped his camera, and here we see many workings on the old Great Western route through the city, including 'Kings' and a 'Saint' and at Snow Hill station and 'train - spotting' sequences at West Bromwich and Handsworth with Black 5s, 'Halls', 'Brits' and a myriad of Western tanks.

The old North Western lines came in for equal attention, the changes pursuant to modernisation including a number of early diesels around some of the avoiding lines as well as 'Super Ds' on goods and 2-4-2 tanks on motor services.

Further afield Cam recorded the Fowler 2-6-4 tanks on the 'Lickey Avoiding Line' through Redditch and Evesham and returned to the famous Cromford and High Peak Railway for a ride in open wagons behind the 'Austerities' which had replaced the old North London tanks.

To the east Cam recorded the Leamington to Rugby branch and a Johnson 0-4-4 tank on motor stock. Other highlights include the Stroud 'Golden Valley' line, the Dursley branch, visits to Round Oak steelworks, Bescot shed and Wolverton Works (with its LNWR 'Special Tanks'), a 56xx on the traverser at Moor Street and many more.
