Description
Something a little different to usual, with various clips filmed over the last 12 months at the Great Central Railway, evoking scenes straight from the 1950s and 60s across Britain's Railways. With only the odd hint of the 21st Century, this film encapsulates typical sights from the the days of steam, featuring various locomotives, rolling stock, vehicles and staff in period dress.

Thanks must go to the Great Central Railway, Quorn Wagon & Wagon and the staff at Quorn & Woodhouse station for making these scenes possible.

Inspired by the British Transport Films of the era, as well as the GCR's own take on these classic films by the staff at Quorn and Woodhouse station, whose latest film you can view here: https://youtu.be/fyYM_20OlsQ
