Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Really enjoyed your last two videos, as usual. They’re even better on the telly in the front room

As promised (on the Coronavirus Projects thread), here's some footage of my refurbished IP Engineering Plate Frame Simplex loco in action ....

Have you ever published anything on your painting and weathering techniques? They are very nice and subtle.
Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Only on my blog:
https://riksrailway.blogspot.com/2013/0 ... agons.html
For the tipplers, I also used Scenic Rust

And for the Simplex, I used salt

I pinched all my ideas from others, so can't claim any credit.

It will be bigger than Ben Hur if everything I want to do comes to fruition.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Your've done it again Rik, what a absolute brilliant video.
I would love to "do it all again". With PB, you have a certain flair and nack with making your scenes come alive.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Rik, love the sound, and having read your blog, I know details of "greeting card" sounds are there, still very clever, and as with all your work very impressed.
Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Thanks Jim
I found a way of getting the sounds to cycle round as a loop, I just kept connecting the play button contact to other contacts on the board until it looped. At £1.49, I felt I could afford to blow one up, as it turned out, I didn't need to worry. There is a half second pause after it loops round. I might try creating a sound which rises and dips in volume and then coincide the start and finish of the sound with a dip.
The klaxon sound is on a second sound module. I tried connecting it to the same speaker as the engine sound but it drops both sound in volume. If I had room, I'd just use a second speaker for the klaxon, but space is a bit tight in the Simplex.
The volume is quite low, but as you can hear from the video, I think it's loud enough.

Rik, as usual a great video, very atmospheric in black and white, and the music seems perfect.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Thanks chaps. I watched the Southwold and the Leek and Manifold newsreels before making it so you might notice some overlaps .....

Hi Rik,
Your first video, what can one say but, brilliant. What program did you use to achieve it mate.
The second two vintage films are superb. On the second one at the beginning, what were they doing pushing that wagon onto and why. Not knowing sweet nothing about the runnings of trains it's all new to me and so very interesting....

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Hi Rod
I use Corel VideoStudio which has loads of fancy features, of which I probably use less than a quarter.
That's the Leek & Manifold which had transporter wagons for carrying standard gauge wagons on their narrow gauge tracks. They are pushing a standard gauge wagon on to the transporter at Waterhouse's Station which connected to the North Staffs Railway.
Here's a picture of a standard gauge open wagon on a transporter wagon.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
I recall you mentioning you had a MacBook Pro - and iMovie, which I imagine has similar features to CorelVideo, is free to Mac users. It’s not difficult to use.
Oh, and it’s a lovely video, of course, as we’d expect
Cheers..
Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Thanks Rik.
It's strange they had to push it on though, wouldn't a loco be easier or am I being stupid..
