Mostly film UK Steam Trains, in action, on the main line. Usually got my camera with me at all times so will post up other amusing or unusual things I happen upon on my travels.
Because it was a grey miserable damp day, with little natural vibrance, there were few modern-day visual references in the shot, and I thought it would add a touch of nostalgia.
Got to see tangmere today in Carlisle while dropping my son off and as there was 20mins before she was due to depart I shot through to a spot between Armathwaite and cumwinton and boy did she smoke the place out as she past. Got a good video.
Yes, we have lost the Tropicana pool and the Old Pier in Weston -super-Mare. Both were up and running in the 50's,not long after WW2. At that time money was short. So progress since that time not evident.
you.d of thought they.d have gone another rut like the motor way to tilbury docks also was this the item that blocked the orset road on another day getting to tilbury area because if I know right they can only b roads not motor ways plus its all by roads to tilbury docks ,bet that was fun to ?
yep, the Sony 4k camera broke, irreparably, so I decided to change tack. DJI mini 2 se, and a separate zoom H1N audio recorder to dub the soundtrack on. Got my drone flyerID and operator ID, it's a whole new set of skills to learn.
@@MrKnowwun Thought about getting one myself but don’t know which model to get. Also would add to the complexity of filming trains. Very much undecided at the moment.
@@TheWesternExplorer It is much more complicated, much more thought and prep needs to go into location choice. Yet on the other hand opens up other locations. I doubt anyone has ever filmed that location as it's inaccessible by foot.
Wandering at Speed! If you're on about the 'sideways' movement of the locomotive, it's called Hunting! Hunting is when a locomotive 'rocks' from side to side at speed. It's due to the Motion (the piston thrust) on either side of the locomotive being (deliberately) not applying thrust at the same time. This makes the locomotive alternatively push it wheel flanges against the rail on either side of the track, producing the rocking motion when viewed from the front. It's called Hunting...
Err no, I was not "on about the "sideways" movement of the locomotive". Had you read the intro you would have seen the tour was called " Wandering 1500".
