I stumbled across this BBC4 Collection of steam railway films from the 1970s and 80s, free on iPlayer.

Thanks Rod

a little bit of history worth watching , even for some one that's not a steam enthusiast

the first I'll watch is steam on the Isle of Mann and the Rainhill story- Stephenson's 'Rocket'.

Watched the "let's Imagine" episode from 1963 last week. Interesting when John Betjeman comments that in the future we will regret some of the closures that have occurred.
