Northwest Mainline Steam 2013 follows on from our 2012 review, featuring a wide variety of motive power over the region’s routes and major climbs, covering the area from Todmorden in the south to Mallaig in the north. All material was shot in High Definition and the DVD includes on-screen details of railtours, locations, dates and gradients.
