It looks like being an excellent series if the other programmes are as good as the narrow gauge one.

Yes, the original version of 'The Railway Children' will be watched at some point in our house over the christmas period

A good bit of the Talyllyn footage was culled from 'Railway With a Heart of Gold', fortunately the full film is available on YooToob. Well worth fifteen minutes of your free time.

Not the usual BBC Railway programme of 50% talking to people about their experiences, 40% lighthearted or poking fun, and 10% actual railway, then?

 

[queensquare]

Just watched part 2 on the iplayer - every bit is good as the first one.
Warning - contains amateur footage of Jenny Agutter - (no not that footage!)
