2015 was the 30th anniversary of the series of events held on BR and preserved railways in 1985 marking the 150th year of the Great Western Railwayโs first line from Paddington. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of these events, we produce a special DVD of films produced by Terry Nicholls during the year of 1985. 76 minutes of his films are produced with original sound tracks and are from rare lineside locations such as at and inside Whiteball and Cogload signalboxes, at Gloucester Horton Road depot; by the lineside along the Stroud Valley route to Swindon; the Welsh Marches route; at Newport with GW 2-8-0 No. 2857; at privileged locations around Bristol,
Dainton and Tiverton and many other locations.
A wonderful appreciation of the truely memorable GWR 150 event.
