Video technology came too late to record the golden years of Britain's railways during the steam era, but thanks to a handful of amateur cameramen armed with 8mm cine cameras, many images of the 'Iron Horse' have been saved for posterity.
This series is a collection of those shots and Part III covers the Birmingham area and the North Midlands and central Wales. We begin at Nuneaton and Coventry, witnessing both areas before the erection of overhead wires. From Coventry we move to Birmingham and see New Street Station pre-rebuilding. A brief visit to Saltley Station and the Camp Hill gradient is followed by a compilation of trains filmed at Birmingham's other main line station, Snow Hill. From Birmingham we move north to Stafford on the West Coast Main Line and then west to Shrewsbury. Part III concludes with some hard working steam hauled trains on Talerddig bank in mid Wales. All the shots, taken in the 1950's and 1960's are totally original and are in full colour with sound track and commentary.
