Look at Life — Turn of the Wheel (1964)

Filed under: Britain, History, Railways — Tags: , , , , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Classic Vehicle Channel
Published 29 Jan 2021

This film, part of the Look At Life series explores the various ways folk put old disused items of transport back into use. Fascinating archive of engines and rolling stock being cut up for scrap and factory footage of the “new” diesel locomotives being assembled. We take a glimpse into the lives of people upcyling railway memorabilia, steam wagons and rollers and there’s great footage of a Wynns Pacific transporting a steam locomotive to a museum.
