- Disaster strikes!
No sooner did I return fom the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway's half-term week than my computer died. Locals were unable to repair it - it will have to be returned to the manufacturer, leaving me without a PC for - possibly - weeks. I've had to indulge in a laptop for the first time in over ten years. Many of my most trusted programmes are on DVD - and modern laptops are not fitted with CD/DVD players. I find myself having to use old software whose installation files had been kept on external storage. If I had any hair left, I'd be pulling it out!
My first attempt then at producing a video with old software on a limited machine.
Great composition and continuity: especially like the shot of sNG reversing out followed by the 66 with track panels made by the two gents walking into the right hand side of the frame! I'm a relatively regular traveller passing through Carlisle and even now it's such a lovely station. Thank you, Dudley
- - and thank you Dudley. Carlisle is a lovely open station and sees more steam trains than anywhere else in Britain. I'm fortunate to live within easy travelling distance so am able to spend a good deal of time there - friendly staff too. Hopefully I'll be able to continue for some time to come .
Thanks again Tim for a very enjoyable video which you have managed to produce with your limited resources and under stressful conditions much appreciated.
Thanks John. These things are sent to try us - and they do!
We were on that journey coach E seats 25 & 26. What a beautiful train pulled by the most beautiful steam train and the customer service is second to none, the food was excellent and the champagne went down really well our server Phillip was very attentive. Will definitely be booking another journey
Delighted to hear that you had a great experience - here's to the next time!
Great imformative and detailed video as is your trade mark Tim ,thanks for the treat. Brian
Thank you Brian - just glad you enjoyed it.
As always very good coverage
Thank you - much appreciated.
Good coverage dispite all your trials and tribulations, alway great to see the highly polished SNG.
Carlisle station takes some beating.
- - a great place for anyone who likes trains and has a camera! Best wishes.
Well you did it! Just hope your PC arrives back in one piece. I waited to watch this until I'd got my own video ready for publication. Looks a good reflection of that day
Except that amid all the hastle I totally forgot about all the lengthy delays and cancellations!
Good content of SNG and a couple of freight to add to it. Hope you get your modern tech back up and running soon.👍👍
So do I - oh God, so do I!!!
It looked a good sunny day. I decided on going to York where it was also sunny but not very warm. I looked if I could get here in time for the departure but it was not going to work out.
A bit breezy - certainly too fresh for the drone - but otherwise not bad. I was quite comfortable in shorts all day!
@@schoolshorts It looked breezy, I noticed the dead grass blowing. Weed killer train must of got round the station.
You have done well .Thanks
Thank you. Blood, toil, tears and sweat - but it worked in the end!
SOME DAMN GOOD CAPTURES HERE
Thank you!
Torrid times indeed! Your results are, considering all, are excellent, and you've produced another wonderfully atmospheric film. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words - I'm not looking forward to the next few weeks of having to work on a small laptop with out-of-date software but - we'll get there!
Great Tim, can I come with you some time
I think you'd find me very poor company - I'm a harrassed, grumpy old man when filming - especially when I've got the drone in the air!
