  The first locomotives for the Great Western Railway were specified by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, but it was the GWR's first Locomotive Superintendent, Daniel Gooch, who designed the railway's early broad gauge icons such as Fire Fly and Iron Duke. But perhaps the GWR Chief Engineers George Jackson Churchward, who introduced the 4-6-0, and Charles Collett, who was tasked not only with standardisation, but also produced two of the Great Western Railway's iconic locomotive classes, the Kings and Castles, who have left the biggest mark, certainly in terms of GWR locomotives in preservation today.With many locos filmed in stunning HD, GWR Locos Through Time features the pick of locomotives from the Great Western Railway's history including the Bluebell Railway's Dukedog, the Earl of Berkley, the magnificent Modified Hall, Foremarke Hall a resident at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway and Didcot Railway Centre's precious gems, the 1917 Churchward Mogul, the broad gauge replica, Fire Fly and the GWR diesel railcar.

  Towards the end of the 19th century many UK manufacturers turned their attentions to the burgeoning pedal cycle business and so began the British motorcycle business. Then in 1896 a Coventry firm called Bayliss and Thomas fitted a Belium Ninerva engine to one of their bikes and the Excelsior was born; the first British motorcycle to grace our roads. But they were unable to hold the monopoly for long for by the turn of the century dozens of other manufacturers followed their example and the British motorcycle industry was born. In the two volumes of this documentary you will be able to see and hear about many of the very early models produced between the wars and afterwards. Much of the video you will see of the earlier motorcycles are pictures of the last examples of their type.
