Summer 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the last scheduled steam service on British Rail's Southern region. To mark the anniversary, Swanage Railway brought together an impressive collection of locomotives, some of which will be on the line for the first time since the early 1960s. BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley spent the day at the heritage railway.
