Title: Perrygrove Railway video
Post by: alan on July 08, 2008, 00:06
I've done my first Youtube video! This is from the recent Gala Day on the delightful little 15in gauge Perrygrove Railway at Coleford, Forest of Dean. Alas, I've edited for widescreen for some unknown reason but hopefully it will give you a flavour.

Splendid stuff Alan - I suppose you will now be turning up with a large shiny mega-price moving picture machine over your shoulder and clamped to the right eye! Don't forget the visor and deck chair with "herr direktor" label on the back!

First time I've seen videos from Perrygrove - it looks to be a most attractive little line and the locos look as if they have to work hard to get up the hill.

Careful Alan - someone might volunteer you to video the AGMs...

Hmmmm........... as someone who has experience of "being volunteered" (and I know who it was that started the current "I think you should be volunteered for......." The clue to this cryptic dig is to have a look at the list of seconders in the candidates details published in the June News......), I think this is a wonderful idea and I propose that "memsec", whoever he is, should practice for future AGM's by videoing the whole of the forthcoming EGM - it will certainly give me a break from the task of having to "swan around with the camera all day", which is something else that I vaguely remember being accused of once upon a time, long ago...... ;D

Alan,  thanks for posting a link to the video, when Steve Fulljames and I get the new version of Narrow Gauge Wiki (http://narrowgauge.wikispaces.com) up and running would you mind if we use this as the video for this line please?

No, that's fine. Just include a credit to me, please.

Thanks for asking.

Hi Alan,

How did the video of the EGM work out? Must be a small digicam you have as I couldn't even see it in your hand from 6ft away........

Just in case there were technical glitches in your intended production, I did manage to swan around for a bit with a camera as usual and the results will hopefully be available for all to see on my Fotopic site within the next couple of days or so.

I'll notifiy on here when ready

Sorry for hi-jacking your thread Alan!  ::)
