The last years of steam on the former L&SWR main lines from Waterloo to Salisbury, Bournemouth and Weymouth, are recalled in this superb all-colour programme, filmed between 1958 and 1967, which provides wonderful memories of Britain's last steam-worked main line.

Among locomotive classes seen in the films are both rebuilt and unrebuilt Bulleid Pacifics of all three types, BR 'Standard' 4-6-0s, 2-6-0s and 2-6-4Ts, Maunsell Moguls and 0-6-0s, H15 and S15 4-6-0s, Bulleid 0-6-0s, Ivatt and BR 'Standard' 2-6-2Ts, an M7 0-4-4T and a 'USA' tank. Former GWR 'Hall' and 'Grange' 4-6-0s put in appearances as does an outside cylindered ex-GWR 0-6-0 pannier tank. Previously available in VHS format.
