I suppose you could call my brother [livejournal.com profile] coming42 a bit of a train geek as he has been waxing lyrically over some engines of the past and a set of DVD's released  by the BFI under the title of British Transport Films. So to salivate his thirst here is a clip of the Elizabethan Express documentary from 1954.
