Nostalgia and recreating the past is what preserved steam railways are all about and the Great Central Railway is able to do this better than most having motive power from each of the 'big four' railway companies to draw upon. Added to this, Dave Richards of PR Video has developed a close working relationship with the management, staff and volunteers on the railway enabling unique and privileged sequences to be obtained.

Six volumes make up the Great Central Railway series.
