About "Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway"

The Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway is a seven mile long 15 inch gauge railway running through one of the most beautiful valleys in the Western Lake District.

A beautifully filmed programme, showing the Ravenglass railway at its best. Steam locos River Irt, River Mite and River Esk feature along with Douglas Ferreira the relatively new diesel. With excellent scenery, informative commentary and good loco soundtrack, an excellent keep sake for anybody with an interest in narrow gauge steam and the Ravenglass line.
