GVF 009D         ECLIPSE OF THE CLASS 37s
Released in November 1999, this is the third in a series of programs dedicated to the Class 37s which won accolades from the railway press before going out to general release. To add to the magnificent sound effects which are a feature of this series of programs “Eclipse” includes the sight & sound of no less than 100 different locomotives in action in two different countries – that’s right – this video is the first to include action from Southern France where the Class 37s are assisting with construction duties connected with the new high-speed TGV link. Added to this, the class is seen hard at work in the UK from Penzance to Inverness and from Lowestoft to Aberystwyth and most places in between. A comparison of modern & historical liveries are seen to good effect as we see many members of the class which have now succumbed to withdrawal. Full train details appear as Captions. Narration has been deliberately omitted so as not to compromise the distinctive sound of the locomotives at work. [ NOTE: See GVF 004 / 007 / 011 / 022 / 023, for more Class 37 action ]

GVF 010D         NATIONAL GRIDS
The Class 56 diesel locomotives represent one of the few classic designs still at work in Britain.

This video combines both day-to-day operations with rare and in some cases unique scenes bringing to life over half the class, many no longer in service.
Running Time: 65 min approx.             Price: $59.00 (includes GST)


GVF 011D         REFLECTIONS OF THE CLASS 37s
Released in August 2000, this is the fourth and possibly the most remarkable in the series of Class 37 videos. Material spans the years 1987 to 2000 and features many classic liveries including BR blue, large logo blue, red stripe railfreight as well as more up to date paint schemes. Following on from where “Eclispse of the Class 37s” left off, we see astonishing action from Southern France where the Class 37s are assisting with construction duties connected with the new high-speed TGV link. This time we see them in action on the Southern steeply graded section where multiple type 3s tackle the infamous 1 in 30 gradient at Donzere. Definitely a head banging session!! In the UK we see views from Cornwall to Caithness – literally, and view some of the most startling scenery in between. Railtours, rare passenger turns, heavy freights, they are all here. Full train details appear as Captions. Narration has been deliberately omitted so as not to compromise the distinctive sound of the locomotives at work.

GVF 013D         DIESEL DECADE – THE 1990’s
The 1990s turned out to be one of the most significant periods in the whole history of Britain's railways encompassing the transition from British Rail to the privatised railway. As British Rail disappeared so came the corporate swell of the privatised railway with the ubiquitous BR blue livery replaced by a variety of different house colours. It also saw many home-built products replaced by traction constructed overseas, particularly General Motors types. This video illustrates examples of the mainline diesel classes operating throughout the British mainland during the years 1990-1999. Narration has been deliberately omitted so as not to compromise the distinctive sound of the locomotives at work. Full colour and Captions including Locomotives / Location / Train Details. Featured classes are: 20, 26, 31, 33, 37, 46, 47, 50, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 66 & HST.

This is the fifth in a series of videos recording the life and times of the English Electric type 3 diesel locomotives, or Class 37s as they are now known. This extended program includes rare archive cine footage dating as far back as 1968, yet brings us right up to the year 2001. For many years the class 37s have been associated with services along the busy North Wales Coast trunk route to Holyhead. With passenger duties due to cease at the end of 2000 we pay tribute to this service with a special section depicting the final hours. Unique views are seen including the final official departure from Holyhead. Full train details appear as Captions. Narration has been deliberately omitted so as not to compromise the distinctive sound of the locomotives at work.
