W.A. "Cam" Camwell was one of the most active railway enthusiasts during the 1950s & 60s, the period during which British Rail ways moved from steam to diesel and electric traction and many railway lines and branches passed into history. His membership of the Stephenson Locomotive Society led him to organise many tours of threatened or interesting railway lines and he recorded as much of the network as possible both in photographs and on 16mm cine film. The latter forms the basis of this series as Cam filmed many remote and obscure lines, as well as interesting developments, on the main lines.

Vol.4: Railways of Scotland and North East England

In this volume "Cam" takes us onto the rails of many long forgotten or well remembered railways in Scotland and North-East of England and shows us some of the last members of many pre-grouping railway locomotive classes such as Calendonian 0-6-0s and 0-4-4 tanks, Pickersgill and GNoS 4-4-0s, the J69 with a tender on the Lauder branch, North Eastern Q6s and J27s between Tyneside and Teeside, G5 0-4-4Ts, A8 4-6-2Ts and lines including the Great North of Scotland, in the Border Country, Easingwold Railway, LNER Pacifics on the East Coast Main Line, and the legendary route across Rannoch Moor to Fort WIlliam and Mallaig. These are just some of the locomotives and lines covered in this volume.
