Quick Overview

Designed specifically for operating through the Channel Tunnel with freight and passenger workings, the power and engineering sophistication of these locomotives sets them apart from all previous locomotive designs. The testing of Class 92s in Czechoslovakia and Austria, unique in modern traction development, is portrayed on exclusive video footage. At a variety of locations including Calais, Dollands Moor (Folkestone), Crewe International EMD and inside the Channel Tunnel , the Class 92s are recorded on test and revenue earning service. Superb trackside film plus a cab ride aboard 92 033 ‘Berlioz’ from Crewe International EMD to Carlisle (Kingmoor) during West Coast Main Line trials completes this video documentary.

Product Description

Crewe, the most famous railway town in Britain, has been associated with locomotive construction since 1846. From the days of the London and North Western Railway, passing through ownership by the LMS, British Rail and now ADtranz, the tradition of high quality workmanship has been maintained. ADtranz allowed exclusive access to their Crewe operation giving a rare insight into the high technology world of modern traction maintenance. Viewed under repair and test conditions are Class 20, 37, 47, HSTs etc. Together with the sequence of component refurbishment, the degree and depth of services offered by ADtranz is shown in detail. Rare archive film from the 1930s to the 1960s displays locomotives under construction and repair. In addition, locomotive types built here are shown at work in a variety of locations in this one hour programme. 1996 saw the 150th Anniversary of the LNWR and to mark the occasion ADtranz opened their doors to the public on the 17th August 1996. An impressive collection of steam and diesel locomotives associated with Crewe were displayed. Together with a unique display of over 200 locomotive nameplates and associated LNWR and LMS memorabilia, this event was one of the years highlights. A fifteen minute supplement captures the flavour of this very special day.
