925 Cheltenham
May 1, 2024The first in a new series of Locomotive Profiles.
Thirty Bulleid Pacific locomotives survive today, with 28 of them coming from Dai Woodham’s scrapyard at Barry. This 100-minute long DVD captures the sight and sound of these popular locomotives. From 34007 Wadebridge to 34105 Swanage and from 35005 Canadian Pacific through to 35029 Ellerman Lines we cover all thirty of the Light Pacifics and Merchant Navys scattered around the UK.
Thrilling sequences of Clan Line during its long career on the main line from 1974 and Tangmere in all manner of locations during its 10-year stint since restoration. Footage from the 1980s reveals 34092 City of Wells’s triumphant period in the northern fells. Many Bulleids came from Barry and we see them in the yard and during their restoration and subsequent operation.
All in all, THE DVD about the Bulleids!

Eastleigh Yard to Poole Sidings
This DVD was filmed on board a Virgin Voyager ECS working from the EWS yard at Eastleigh Depot on 15th May 2003. Destination was Poole sidings in readiness to begin a cross country service.
Our route takes us through the depot at Eastleigh passing the yard signal box and joining the Botley line with Eastleigh Works on the left to enter Eastleigh Station for a reverse move.
The Voyager then takes the main line through St Denys and Southampton, through the New Forest passing the junction for the Marchwood branch and then through Christchurch, Pokesdown and Bournemouth. The final section is from Bournemouth through to Poole station where a stop is made to allow various passengers trains to pass in the Up direction after which the ECS move continues into the sidings just to the west of Poole station.
