Looks like you had fun! missed a good day

Sorry I couldnt make it as I got told i had to work on friday night and i had already got saturday booked off so couldnt really ask for sunday as well. theres always next time though!

NO!

thought i recognised the loco and driver. has the cab arrangment changed though?

is goliath the same engine that lives very close to the FR at gwendy bank?

Like others I prefer gradients although sometimes I wish I could just leave them running and watch like on a flat line. Just make sure you calculate the gradients right. I wouldn't go for anything steeper than a 1 in 40 ( I have, i think, a 1 in 35 which the steamers cope with fine you just have to ...

I'd never came accross that before. Seems quite a resource. maybe it could be added to the resources section if it isnt already.

I particularly enjoyed the FR deviation pictures. Wish i could have been around to do some of that! looks like great fun (and no H&S rubbish!)

If you already have a wooden shell then that is your best option I would say. Plastic sheet with stone effect is another way but if the sheet isnt big enough then it can turn into a difficult job needing to patch it together. If you wanted brick effect however plastic sheet with brick effect would b...

hmmmm well i think it would have to be stretched, but after all arent there some 3 foot rubbish waggons at gelerts farm museum?

I agree!

great video some good shots of both lines!

loved the last clip as well! (idiot! haha)

Chuffed to bits. unfortunatley they dont last very long with the size of the batteries in them but they do look great whilst they are on!

my thoughts too, and If he is having one of DLRDans new steam locos (that seams to go quite fast) how is he going to cope!

Nope flew right round to the bottom of the line where the oppisite grade brought it to a gentle stop!

Maybe I should add that most of those waggons are made from whitemetal and a small amount of wood and all of them have metal wheelsets so they are quite heavy for thier size

With the Video editing problem solved MGLR Movies is back in business  :D We shall soon be processing all the video captured over the last 6 months or so and slowly put it up on youtube (or i may stay up and do it all tonight!) We start off with this small video showing how slates are moved about on...

This seems to have worked. We shall see if I have when I put the video up on Youtube soon.

Hopefully I have fixed the problem.

Ok so i can confirm that any video convertor did not work for whatever reason. Only tried it once but I shall try it again. seems to have mucked up the playing speeds as the sound is played at full speed and the video half speed so thats confused me.

EDIT ignore all of that. I think it has worked.

coming on very nicely!

Have you been doing the bricklaying yourself? If so you've made a nice job of it. Its harder than it looks.

leave 45mm alone everyone! theres nothing wrong with it!

Looks good although the spot with the tight clearance looks madness! good look with that bit. I'd hack the tree back a bit

hmmm lots to think about here. I'm thinking pete and zach's suggestions are probably the better ones.

i take it you have to pay fro all the other software packages mentioned?

Okay so what does everyone use for editing thier videos? I used to use windows movie maker which i had no complaints with until I bought my new video camera and it has now decided it doesn't like my new video format that the new camera uses and crashes all the time so I'm giving up with movie maker....
