My film follows two pannier tanks on the evening of December 1st 2013 as they arrive at Melton Mowbray Station to pick up passengers visiting the towns Christmas market before travelling on to Narborough Station lit only by the yellow glow of the station lights they make for an impressive sight as they thunder along the tracks.

My short film follows Pannier Tank 1369 as it travels along a short section of the South Devon Railway. We join the engine steaming on a chilly march morning in 2013 as it waits to depart from Buckfastleigh Station, We then follow the service as it passes through the beautiful South Devon countryside briefly stopping at the country station of Staverton before continuing on to Totnes.

This short film features two Pannier Tank engines (7752 & 9600) as they speed full steam through Narborough station on their way to Leicester. I have given the video a deliberately cinema style effect evocative of classics such as brief encounter etc, the cropped image also highlights the drama of the trains as they speed past.
