A visit to the Mountsorrel And Rothley Community Heritage Center which includes the Mountsorrel Railway Museum for one of their March Steam Days.
We begin the visit with an overview of the site with various steam powered locomotives moving about 'Pops' the traction engine is nearest to the camera and in the back of shot we see two steam engines moving about.
Down beside the rails now and the imposing structure of the 1834 lift bridge can be seen (more on that later in the film).
Panning left we see a green tank engine set for a goods run and past the sheds to the narrow gauge quarry bottom railway where a small grey engine visiting from the Statfold Barn railway is busy giving visitors a ride around the looped track.
Next we see the green engine moving a goods train back and forth before number 2 turns a corner on another loop of the Quarry Bottom track loop.
Then it's "All Aboard" from Quarry Bottom Halt for an eventful ride which ends in a rather dramatic hailstorm.
Now over to the lift bridge for a demonstration as we learn about its restoration at the site, we see cogs turning and the platform rising as its wound up and down by hand and weights removed to balance the structure.
The visit ends with Pops the traction engine from earlier climbing the hill out of the site and a fascinating trip back in time comes to an end.
