FORTHCOMING RELEASE…
TRACTION
2009 Part 2
The
next installment in this popular and long-running series is shaping up
well. Very well….except for the fact that we are struggling to get the
programme down to 100 minutes! The six month period from July to
December 2009 saw some remarkable workings and traction developments,
many of which will feature in this forthcoming programme. Among the
workings you can expect to see are…..31 190 on the Boston steel, 47
802 on the Chirk timber, D1015 heading to Scarborough and Blaneau
Ffestiniog….and then hauling redundant china clay tanks from
Quidhampton to Burngullow, 56 311 towing three Bulgaria-bound Class 87s
and 86 401 from Long Marston to Crewe, Virgin Class 57s hauling Class
508 EMU’s to Eastleigh Works, 20 189 + 20 227 on hire to GBRf
delivering new London Underground S stock from Old Dalby to Neasden, 92
017 in Stobart livery, six scrap DBS Class 56s being towed from
Ferrybridge to Crewe, 73 107 returns to the main line, 37 401 + 37 670
venture to Weymouth for FGW,
20 306 bonnet first towing a coach from Southampton Docks to
Eastleigh Works, 66 844 on the Bromley North branch, 47 727 + 47 739 on
the Tilbury to Burton Cemex tanks, 87 701 + 87 702 on hire to GB
Railfreight for charter and mail trains, ‘mix & match’ Class 47
haulage on Colas traffic from Dollands Moor to Burton and Dagenham, DRS
Class 37s and 47s on the temporary Workington-Maryport passenger
shuttles, 20 302 on the West Highland Line heading for Oban, 47 270
returns to the main line for Hanson Traction, DB Schenker decimate their
Class 60 fleet….and Advenza Freight go bust. And that’s just a
taster of what’s in store! We hope to have programme 29 in the
Traction series available towards the end of February.
VHS
TAPES. . . .
As
demand for VHS is now minimal, we have deleted all our titles on tape
which are now available on DVD. Please note that none of the TRACTION
series are available on VHS
, the early years having been covered in our
TRACTION DECADE DVD. We only have limited stocks of the older VHS-only
programmes so you may wish to contact us first regarding availability
before placing an order. Please note that due to the massive increase in
Royal Mail postage costs for items of this size and weight there is an
additional postage & packing charge of £1 per tape. Thus
the total cost of a VHS tape is £17.95.
CATALOGUE
