Full description from the producer:

Classic scenes from the celebrated BBC television series. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the BBC broadcast a series of television programmes called Railway Roundabout, featuring train lines which proved to be on the point of closure and locomotives that were about to disappear forever. The archive film footage has been transformed into four separate Railway Roundabout DVDs, all superbly recreating the lost age of steam.
