MAINLINE DIARY 2012 PART 2
 |
Our second widescreen production in the Mainline Diary Series, contains a number of notable firsts and, sadly, a few lasts.
In this Jubilee year, we feature Steam on the Royal Train and the return to the national network of a locomotive that many would have thought as being totally unprecedented a few years ago. The action doesn't stop there, we see one of our favourite engines being put through their paces over the Devon Banks, with some dramatic on-board views of the crew at work, recreating the Golden Age of Steam. This, along with others locomotives, set the standard in performance & deliver to you a definite "WOW factor" for you to enjoy.
With plenty of variety & action, this DVD will give you endless pleasure and enjoyment for many years to come! The DVD features a brief commentary, on-screen locations and gradient subtitles.
