British label Fabulous Films will release on Blu-ray Ivor the Engine: The Complete Collection (1959-1977). The three-disc box set is scheduled to arrive on the market on October 30.

Official description: Much-loved 70s animation series following the adventures of a little green steam train. From the 'top left-hand corner of Wales', Ivor sets out each day on a new adventure.

Now, for the first time, the complete Ivor The Engine series has been lovingly remastered and brought together in one definitive collection. Voiced, along with Postgate, by David Edwards, Olwen Griffiths, Anthony Jackson and accompanied by the beautifully evocative bassoon music of Vernon Elliott, we bring you Ivor the Engine. Peep-peep!

The end of the 1950s found Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin feeling their way into a new and challenging world of stop-frame animation. Their first collaboration as Smallfilms brought us the utterly charming six-part story of how Ivor the Engine got the chance to fulfil his dream of singing in the choir of the the Grumbly and District Choral Society.

The 1960s saw 26 new adventures about the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited and all the gently eccentric inhabitants of the towns and villages to whom the trainline served, as well as dragons, elephants and a donkey named Bluebell. This series hasn't been seen since 1969.

The 1970s saw Ivor and his friends brought back to our screens with forty episodes in full colour.
