Diesel Double Headers DVD - Description
Why have one locomotive on the front when
you can have two, three or four?
The challenge was set: produce a programme
of trains hauled by at least two locomotives.
After an extensive search through the Train
Crazy archives we found a staggering 78 occasions where double, triple and
quadruple locos were on the front and they are presented for you on this 85
minute programme.
Filmed from numerous locations on the main
line between 1996 and 2007, revel in the sights of pairs of 20s, 31s, 37s, 47s,
