In the 1950s and '60s, Michael Clemens and his late father lived in Worcestershire, but travelled all over Britain, from Penzance to the north of Scotland, filming many now long closed railways and the steam locomotives that worked on them. The movie film collection, the largest of its kind in the UK, has been released by the author on thirty videos starting in the 1990s. The author's website can be visited at www.michaelclemensrailways.co.uk and contains many hundreds of pages of railway memorabilia.
