FORTHCOMING
RELEASES…
TRACTION
2008 – Part 1
We
will shortly be starting work on compiling the first instalment of the
traction review of 2008, which will cover the 6-month period from the
start of January to the end of June. Hopefully this programme will be
released during August.
Day
Rover
This
programme, filmed in July 1997, has been the subject of many requests
for release on DVD. This is probably due to the fact that this ‘Wired
for Sound’ title has more history in it than any of our similar
productions. The Longbridge Rover car plant, the regular trainloads of
car components, Tinsley TMD and its Railfreight Distribution Class 47s,
Saltley depot.…they are all now but a memory. The outward journey with
47 236 + 47 375 is from Longbridge to Swindon via Sapperton with the
return run traveling via Didcot and Banbury. And there’s a loco change
in Washwood Heath Yard with 47 285 + 47 286 working the train forward to
Longbridge. As with our other re-releases on DVD, the programme will be
completely re-made from scratch footage using digitally re-mastered
footage. Because so much has changed in the intervening years, there
will also be an updated narration. We are expecting this programme to be
available for release in September.
VHS
TAPES. . . .
As
demand for VHS is now minimal, we have deleted all our titles on 
tape
which are now available on DVD. With regard to the TRACTION series,
these have now all been deleted now that the TRACTION DECADE double-disc
DVD is available. We only have low stocks of the older programmes so you
may wish to contact us first regarding availability before placing an
order.
CATALOGUE
Although our website
contains details on our current range of programmes you may prefer to
