About Locomaster Profiles
Locomaster
Profiles have been producing specialist modern traction video programmes
since 1986, during which time we have gained a reputation as a producer
of quality videos with outstanding traction content. Although we use the
term 'modern traction', you will – as you browse through the pages of
our web site – notice that much of what we have on offer has in fact
now passed into history. The transition from the BR era to the current
privatised operation has witnessed a dramatic change in the motive power
scene, so the majority of our programmes therefore provide a nostalgic
trip down memory lane.
In 1999, a revamp of our catalogue resulted in the deletion of a
number of our older video titles. Since then we have received many
enquiries about which programmes have been withdrawn and where can
copies be obtained from. For the record, the following titles are now
obsolete: POWER OF THE 20s, PEAK TWILIGHT, CROMPTON COUNTDOWN, GLORIOUS
THROUGH DEVON, FIFTIES AT WORK and the three MISCELLANY titles. As we
have completely sold out of these programmes our best advise to anyone
wishing to obtain any of these videos is to shop around for a
second-hand copy.
On
the plus side, our range of titles is growing all the time! In the
accompanying web pages we have attempted to list SELECTED highlights of
each programme as to have listed the entire contents of each title would
double the size of our web site! We have also resisted the temptation to
use the phrase 'plus much, much more' so please bear this in mind.
Another item to worth mentioning here is the narration on our
programmes. If you are one of the many people who prefer to enjoy the
sound of locomotives hard at work without the intrusion of ill-placed
commentary, you can rest assured that we take great care to ensure that
your 'thrash' will be uninterrupted!
Our programmes are supplied on High-Grade VHS cassettes whose Hi-Fi
soundtrack offers the best possible audio reproduction - particularly
with our 'Wired for Sound' series of cab-ride programmes. Overseas
customers please note that we only supply our tapes on PAL format. For
more information about ordering from us, please refer to the 'ordering'
page. If you have any queries you can either telephone us direct on
01753 545888 or e-mail us at helpline@locomaster.co.uk
Happy Browsing from the Locomaster team!
