BLUEBELL RAILWAY
Through To Kingscote 1994

The Bluebell Railway is the oldest standard gauge preserved steam railway in the UK.

Closed in 1958, it was reopened by the Preservation Society in 1960.

Operated with a professional staff, many of whom are volunteers, this railway has one of the finest collections of steam locomotives to be seen and top quality carriages restored in its own Horsted Keynes workshop.

The railway has been steadily expanded and extended.

The DVD shows the laying of the new track from West Hoathly to Kingscote in early 1994 and then the line in operation.

Features from the footplate and from the lineside include locomotives large and small. No. 96 Normandy, No. 323 Bluebell, No. 847 s15, No. 33001 Q1, No. 35027 Port Line are all seen.

The programme is an evocative period piece and an excellent film of the Bluebell Railway at that time.
