I agree with the thoughts that this DVD had a wider transport base - and all the better for that!
Railways were always supposedly an integral part of a great transport system. In reality the whole system needed every part - Ship, crane, train, lorry, labourers, planners etc.
This DVD gives a great, wider view of the whole concept and I loved it.

The previous reviewer has a valid point in that this volume covers a much broader spectrum of activities than just steam railways but there is a great deal of industrial transport,(heavy road haulage) and some wonderful footage of Southampton docks in the days of the great liners. The quality of the film making is absolutely first class and I would highly commend this DVD to anyone who has a general interest in our industrial heritage.
 Hardly any films about railways December 21, 2007

As a railway enthusiast I was disappointed with this volume (and volume 6 as well) as there is virtually no railway content at all. I know the BTF unit created films on the places you could go to by train (this type of film makes up the bulk of Vol 6), but I'm pretty sure the main interest of these collections is in looking at the bygone activities of the railways in the 1950s and 1960s (why else would they put an evocative steam loco on the cover of the DVD case?) For instance one film included in this collection is about the creatures that live on the seashore which would look pretty similar if it was filmed today. Previous volumes have been excellent but maybe they have run out of railway material and just filling up the new volumes with anything they can find.
