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 IV covers the West Midlands and the North of England. We begin at Gloucester where the diminutive former GWR 0-4-2 tank engines were still working 'push and pull' trains. From Gloucester we head to the western suburbs of Birmingham via the famous Licky Incline where heavyweight expresses could be seen struggling with the 1 in 37 gradient. A look at Wolverhampton's Low Level Station before it closed, is followed by a journey to Manchester via Stoke On Trent, Crewe and Stockport. After Manchester we cross the Pennies and end our journey at Sheffield's Victoria Station where 'Directors', '04s' and 'K' class moguls were still hard at work. All the shots, taken in the 1950's and 1960's are totally original and are in full colour with sound track and commentary.

Londonderry and County Donegal. The artist is unknown. The poster is a collage of different pictures of landmarks of County Donegal and Londonderry. These include; The ruins of Donegal Castle (Donegal town) The train passing through Barnsmore Gap at moonlight The village of Killybegs The cliffs of Slieve Leage. This is truly an outstanding print taken from the original poster and is printed on excellent quality Fujitsu photographic paper. It is not a cheap flimsy poster. Height 42 inches. Width 26 inches. The size of this print is very close to the original poster size. We do not reduce the size of our posters because we have found that they simply don't look right in smaller dimensions. This is part of the reason that our posters are superior to others. We also pride ourselves in selling prints that have top quality ink and striking clarity. We have a vast collection of posters for sale. Our posters are normally dispatched within three working days.
