The West Country was the battleground over which the Great Western Railway and the London and South Western Railway fought for supremacy. They met and crossed one another at Exeter, which forms the pivot around which this programme resolves. Many West Country lines survive, as do the classic steam locomotives that worked over them.We see Great Western 4-6-0's of the King and Castle classes as well as Panniers and Prairies, Southern locomotives from the Merchant Navy and West Country classes to the little M7 and T9 types which worked the branches, L.M.S. engines which... ran over the Intruder - the Somerset and Dorset line - and many of the branch lines still worked today as well as the G.W.R. and L.S.W.R. main lines. Covering a decade of steam action, the film truly extols Steam in Britain in the West Country. [show more]
