Commentary has been kept to a minimum so that the locos can do the talking!
The extended production time on this programme is due to exhaustive and painstaking research of train and loco identities to ensure that captions are as informative as possible. To this extent some interesting anomalies have been resolved, even after so many years.

30 years have elapsed since the demise of the
famous ‘Western’ class diesels in service with British Rail, and we commemorate
this anniversary with a very special programme looking at their final four years
in traffic. This is the Fourth Diesel Hydraulic DVD from Globe Video Films.
The programme looks at each of the four years from 1974-1977, and with 50
different locomotives appearing in the programme, we get the chance to see most
of our favourites in action once more.The programme also features many of the
special trains operating in that period with D1010, D1013, D1023, D1051, D1052
all appearing on railtour duties
Other highlights include: Double headed over Dainton; The summers of 1974 & 1975
at Dawlish; Reading platform scenes; and a ride behind Western Ambassador!
Guaranteed to bring back glorious memories from that wonderful era!

WESTERN RENAISSANCE
Produced by GLOBE VIDEO FILMS and released March 2002.
'Western Renaissance' features two very
distinct 'WESTERN' eras.
Most of the
programme features recently unearthed and previously
unpublished cine film of the 'Westerns' in the period
1973-1977.
This footage was filmed primarily
by two enthusiasts chasing the class in the West Country
but other locations such as Bristol, Swindon, Reading
& Paddington appear together with views of the
specials operated in their final months.
Included is unique footage taken from right behind the
locomotive on travels throughout the West Country. Ride
behind 'Western Glory' over Brunels' famous bridge into
Cornwall; with 'Trooper' on the Newquay branch; with
'Duke' over the Devon banks and 'Sentinel' along the
Dawlish coastline.
This is thrilling stuff
with special attention given to the soundtrack, [which is
almost entirely original], to ensure maximum
enjoyment,
The final part of the program
features the rebirth of the Class on the mainline
starting with he test run of Western Champion at the end
of January 2002 and finishing with epic views of the
locomotive on it's first proper train in February of that
year.
