In 1985 the BBC broadcast a series of three programmes about Swindon Locomotive Works, the first was called "Of Coppersmiths And Kings", the second was A Job For Life ? , and the final episode was called Off The Rails. I recorded these 3 episodes onto video tape at the time. In the first episode it was announced that the works were to close in 1986, a sad day for everyone at Swindon Works, all those jobs and skills lost, a very sad time indeed. Each episode is approximately 30 minutes long. If copyright is involved with these programmes no breach of copyright was intended. Enjoy.
