Good bit of TV last night

Post by tegfan railway » Thu May 29, 2014 11:13 am

Spotted by chance an interesting programme on BBC 4 last night - The Golden Age of Steam Railways. Looks like its a 2 episode thing looking at real Narrow gauge railways. Just watching it on Sky+ now lots of early footage of the Tal y Llyn and Ffestiniog. Well worth a watch on I Player if you have not already seen it.

It has been on TV before and I have watched it a couple of times (including again last night). It is well worth viewing and remembering all of the volunteers who made the present day preserved railways possible.

Shame that the iPlayer doesn´t work over here in Yurp.
