Title-Nodrog presents.
Title-Bahamas.
The scene opens with a shot of the front of a steam engine called `Bahamas', including a close up of its number, 45596; there is a shot of the steam train driving along the track towards the camera. People have gathered along the side of the track at a train station, where some tents have also been set up.
Several different steam train engines drive along a small section of the track; one of them has `Jacob Biscuit Factory Aintree' on its side. There are several other sizes and types of engines, including a green vintage one called Nunlow.
A small area has been set up near the track by the `Bahamas Locomotive Society', and following this is a shot taken from a height looking down onto the track which has two large steam engines driving past each other. Lots of people walk along the track and stand alongside it to look at the trains.
The voiceover says that on sunny Sundays people can have rides on the trains.
Some people climb down some steps and off the Bahamas locomotive, after having a trip on it. There are shots taken from right beside the track looking at the spectators who have gathered; beside them is a sign which reads `Danger Keep this side of barrier'. The Bahamas goes along the track in the direction of the camera and then past the spectators who wave at it.
Title-The End.
