If I could have just 30 mins anytime, any place, with a modern camcorder / microphone I'd choose the southern end of Newcastle Central station in 1959/60 between about 12:05 pm and 12:35 pm to take in the arrival/departure of the Flying Scotsman followed by the departure of the Northumbrian. If I were very lucky I may also catch a freight by-passing the platforms but I doubt they'd schedule any for that time! But I'd really want at least 1 year.
