This edition of Making Tracks is a Christmas Selection Box:
We talk Santa trains and seasonal specials with Eleri Mottram at the WHR , and Neil Dale from the Durango and Silverton steam railway in Colorado, who represents the Polar Express brand in the UK.
We meet artist Rebecca Kitchin, who brings Christmas to several railways, and VIP guests – a descendant of Robert Francis Fairlie, David Fairlie with some family history from South America, and historian Tim Dunn looking forward to celebrating '200 years of railways'
We re-visit some of the stories we’ve covered earlier in the year, including a return to Transylvania on Romania's ‘National Day’ for a late season steam up with the snow covered Carpathian mountains . We hear from two Romanian volunteers again, as well as talking to UK based Harry Billmore about his first impressions of the country and driving a steam locomotive in a very different context to contemporary UK lines.
Here are links to some of the Railways and People mentioned in this episode.
