SUMMARY:Railways of the Former USSR
DESCRIPTION:As the USSR came to an end in 1991\, tours for foreign railway enthusiasts became possible\, and your presenter participated in a number of these in the 1990s\, to Ukraine\, Russia and Belarus\, photographing what still very much – at least as it appeared to a westerner – the single railway system of the (former) USSR\, a country that had seemed so permanent. While the tours featured retained steam locomotives\, he also took the opportunity of recording the contemporary diesel and electric power: both steam and modern traction feature in his presentation.

SUMMARY:Remembering the end of Southern Steam - a personal view 50 years later
DESCRIPTION:1967 saw the end of steam operation on the Southern Region. In the months leading up to July 1967\, Des Shepherd made many visits to experience the final rites of steam operation in the south of England. \nFifty years on\, he decided to revisit many of the places he discovered then as well as to try to recreate certain trips and rail tours as close as the exact anniversary as possible. The objective was to replicate original photographs with present day ones. This shows how in many instances things have changed over half a century\, but how surprisingly\, how some things are just the same.

SUMMARY:Southern Steam 1897-1967 on Film
