History Documentary hosted by Jenny Agutter, published by BBC in 2012 - English narration





Information
------------------------------

Home movies help tell the story of how bands of volunteers got together to save some of Britain's railway tracks and the steam engines that ran on them.

Narrated by Jenny Agutter.


1) Small is Beautiful
Tells the remarkable story of a band of visionaries who rescued some of the little narrow gauge railways that once served Britain's industries. These small railways and the steam engines that ran on them were once the driving force of Britain's mines, quarries, factories and docks. Then, as they disappeared after 1945, volunteers set to work to bring the lines and the steam engines back to life and started a movement which spread throughout the world. Their home movies tell the story of how they helped millions reconnect with a past they thought had gone forever.

2) Branching Out
For more than 100 years steam trains ran Britain, but when steam started to disappear in the 1950s bands of volunteers got together to save some of the tracks and the steam engines that ran on them. Some of these enthusiasts filmed their exploits and the home movies they shot tell the story of how they did it, and how they helped people to reconnect to a world of steam most thought had been lost forever.
