I have just recieved a set of DVDs I ordered after seeing them advertised in Local paper. they consist of the footage filmed by Patrick Whitehouse and J.Adams. Patrick Whitehouse, apparently lived in Birmingham and there is footage of the Lickey Incline, The Harborne branch and the Halesowen branch.
"Railway Roundabout" was a programme produced in Birmingham for BBC TV and was shown in the early evening and aimed at the young train spotter and to a lesser degree the adult enthusiast. The series was shown between 1958-1962.
The DVDs eight in all seem to show the footage taht would have been used in each programme. Each year is confined to its own DVD which last about 55 mins, there are three further DVDs making up the set.
I can fully recommend them to any railway enthusiasts, or as I call myself "Students of Locomotion"!
