Re: 71 Mile Garden Railway anyone?? Channel 4 - 7th Jan

Watched episode 2. Hmmmmmm..... did you notice how many times they cut the shot just before the loco was about to round a curve? I suspect derailments were a lot more frequent than is portrayed.

16mm membership query

Hi is there an email address to confirm membership of the 16 mm association from Warners? Thier website isn't working in the contact section.
