Full description from the producer:

This DVD takes the viewer on the footplate and to the lineside for some unique footage, with trains run especially for the camera. It is a never-to-be repeated insight into the workings of this much loved little line. The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway offers the visitor to Lakeland a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the splendid countryside from the vantage point of an open carriage, pulled by steam. This is no ordinary miniature railway; it is a little line with a main line feel and a character all of its own. Here are some of the rarer sights you may see on the railway, locomotives visiting the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway as well as the resident favourites. You will see veterans from the start of 15″ gauge railways, still roaring along the rails today and the new addition to the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway locomotive fleet, the powerful diesel Douglas Ferreira. The video takes you on the footplate and at the lineside for some unique footage, with trains running specially for the camera. It is a unique insight into the workings of this much loved and well cared for little tourist railway and offers an hour of viewing pleasure. Digitally remastered with stereo sound, the photography is very good good and the action is excellent.
