"Hunslet 150" event DVD
This DVD provides a superb record of the event that we ran during July 2015 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first locomotive built by the Hunslet Engine Company. As well as a record of the train operations on the railway, which included three visiting Hunslet-built locomotives, and the operation of two of their narrow-gauge locomotives on demonstration tracks laid specially on the site of the Hunslet works (thanks to Schneider Electric, who now occupy this site and who sponsored this event), this DVD also features interviews with former employees of the company who returned specially for this event.
This DVD is available from our shop at £8.00p. It is also available by mail order: see below for details of this.
DVD of the Overhaul of "Brookes No.1"
This DVD provides a comprehensive record the overhaul of the locomotive "Brookes No. 1", which took place between 2013 and 2017, and was financed by the Heritage Lottery Fund. If you have ever wondered just what is involved in keeping our steam locomotives running, this DVD will answer al of the questions that you might have wanted to ask - and possibly a few that you had not thought of asking!
This DVD is available from our shop at £8.00p. It is also available by mail order: see below for details of this.
