Overview

Accompany retired train driver turned model railway enthusiast on one of his most memorable runs. En route from the West Highlands in Scotland, down through the East of England, and into Kings Cross, London, you'll be treated to an insider's view of the key landmarks along the way. A plethora of arresting black and white cinematography sets this travelogue apart from other examples of the genre.

Beware, John's passion for the steam train is contagious! The director of this beautifully assembled film, Francis Miller, mainly worked as a script writer on feature films, including the Boulting brothers' crime thriller Trunk Crime (1939).
