I remember watching this when it was first transmitted in 1986, watching on my little Sony Trinitron TV in York. Excellent series. Thanks for posting it.

Miles Kingston presents and Tells The Stories of This Program Very well and very nicely I Like Him

I never tire ofwatching these videos nostalgia from when i grew yup

Awesome to finally see the episode "the quest for speed " finally uploaded on youtube

THANK YOU!!! I watched these again and again growing up; the series was called Great Steam Trains on PBS here in the states.

Me too - was addicted

I Hope one Day The BBC will Put This TV Series on DVD just like The Train Now Departing and Gods wonderful Railway and The 1968 TV Version of The Railway Children

Bring back steam, our seats on most modern trains are uncomfortable

hard to imagine running on the Fort William to Mallaig line with no headlight. I don't know how you would know where you were.

Excellent, thanks for posting.

I’ve always thought the loco was better with streamlining. It gives it a distinct and sleek appearance and stands out amongst the York exhibits.

Nice to see the full series on KZread!!!!
