Preservation societies strive to keep services running for new visitors 20 years after the last passenger steam train ran on mainline railways. Accompanied by footage of engines on the Bluebell Line and the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, enthusiasts talk about their passion for steam and why all the hard work involved in restoring and operating a steam train is worth it.

Overview
Despite being phased-out by British rail networks in 1968, the steam train has resisted its bleak fate of becoming a mere museum exhibit, and fading into obscurity. This series charts their re-emergence over the subsequent twenty year period following the end of the age of steam.
