| Between the 1890s and the 1970s, the operating procedures employed on Britain's railways hardly changed.
The equipment was different but a time-travelling Edwardian signalman would have felt entirely at home with colour light signals, Deltics and Freightliners.
This DVD takes you through essential issues such as semaphore and colour light signals, track layouts, head lamp codes and traffic patterns – all of them seen from a railwayman's point of view.
It takes you on an operational tour of some remarkable model railways – from a three-way junction station to a massive ScaleSeven Midland Railway layout – on which you'll see a wide variety of train services.
Supported by animated diagrams and archive stills, the programme goes on to explain how – and why – things were done during the steam and early-diesel era, touching on such topics as
scale speeds, shunting procedures and the different ways in which passenger and freight trains were handled by the operating department.
The DVD is entertainingly fronted by one-time footplateman Bob Essery – now a highly regarded finescale modeller, historian and railway writer – and Tim Shackleton, the former editor of Model Railway Journal and the author of more than 100 articles on railway-related themes.
Here's a preview of what to expect.
