Stumbled across this on Youtube - thought some of you might find it interesting. It's around an hour long.
Apologies if it's already been posted!


Video is a documentary first aired by Channel 4 in February 1988 following the process of building the Class 91 locomotive from the perspective of engineers and product managers.

Making me feel old now....

I remember taking a VHS copy of this programme that I'd recorded into our GCSE Science Class at school in my final year..... o_O

I remember having that on a VHS recorded off the TV. I thing Channel 4 had a load of train programs on at one point around 1990

I've watched this clip before quite a number of months ago now - rather Interesting.

Fascinating stuff, with some superb archive footage of the APT project. I remember seeing it at the time, and then again years later.
