As I'm fairly new to Railway modelling and delving into the real world history then every so often I take the time to watch various videos that people send me links to, and a wet weekend turned into one of those days.
First up was something on the BBC so the link may disappear over time.
Joy of Train sets
Lots of Archive footage of things like Basset-Lowke (and probably the first garden railways if you were rich) and Frank Hornby Dublo. Interesting social commentary about the marketing of train sets as well.
Hmm, the second one was about industrial steam railways - lots of little, narrow gauge engines. However, since I watched it only a few days ago the you tube account has gone due to copyright reasons....
If I find it then I'll link to it.
Lastly, Germany in 1952 - black and white footage and somewhat grainy in places.
Bernstadt am Eiger-Heernhut - Saxony in 1952
Industrial Railways video back !!
