TRACTION
2025 – Part 1
We are pleased to be able to give you advance notice that
this next Traction programme (that’s programme number 60) is going to be
a real cracker. And that’s not just because this year marks the 30th
anniversary of the ‘Traction’ series. So much has happened on the modern
traction scene during the first six months of the year, we really have
got a challenge on our hands to fit it all into the usual 100 minutes.
Rest assured, we will give it our best shot. So, just to whet your
appetite, here’s a small taster of what’s in store…

PRICE REVIEW
Some of our older DVDs are now priced at £14.95. The individual
programme pages with the revised prices have been updated accordingly on
our website. Also, some of the older Traction programmes – those from
T2003 Part 1 to T2010 Part 2 – are now available at £9.95. Postage &
packing is still free.
AND THEN THERE WERE 6
We are pleased to have been able to produce this brand-new DVD in
conjunction with The Fifty Fund to mark 30 years of Class 50s in
preservation. Yes, it really has been that long since the group
purchased 50035 ‘Ark Royal’ back in August 1991. We have produced a
number of DVDs for the group over the years and this latest one covers
the activities of the Class 50 Alliance locos (all six of them!) from
2012 to 2020. Here’s the link to the Fifty Fund website where you can
order the DVD….
