Re: Aces travels and steam ups
You've captured some great shots there ACE, some real 'mood' photo's. Excellent work, thanks for sharing.

Re: Aces travels and steam ups
Thanks very much, enjoyed that thoroughly. Nice camera work, Welsh choir soundtrack very fitting. I used to enjoy watching the Webcams before they became hopelessly positioned and un-viewable, your video has made up for it. Thanks again.

Since having no response from an IOM post and seeing and showing this Video to Anne we have now looked into having a holiday in North Wales again this year...

Re: Aces travels and steam ups
Thanks for posting the videos Ace, there are some nice shots of the layouts at Exeter that I missed due to spending too much time talking.

Re: Aces travels and steam ups
Thank you for your comments, I did have fun on this day and putting it together (Ffestiniog video).
Here is a video of my visit to the Weshpool & Llanfair Railway. Blessed with good weather again!

Re: Aces travels and steam ups
Another great video Ace, well filmed and edited showing some of the beautifully scenic surroundings along the line. I have been a fan of the W&LR since I was a very young lad (long time!) and the Earl and Countess are amongst my first choice of locomotives, unfortunately I have never taken to the coaching stock although I do appreciate they seem to be well presented and serve a purpose.
The line is well worth a visit and the Gala Weekend with 16mm exhibition as another attraction is a 'must see' on my calendar.

Re: Aces travels and steam ups
Another great video Ace, love the shots of the coupling up of the loco and the carriages.
I liked the coaches Peter of the ones Countess was pulling, but not to sure about the ones Joan had on.

I captured some of us mad'uns at the local group freezing our fingers, and boiling water...
Re: Aces travels and steam ups
Oh to have steam as visible as that, at least you guys are sure your driving a steam loco. Thanks for enduring the cold and for sharing.

Re: Aces travels and steam ups
Thanks for your kind words folks. I love steaming in the cold, those plumes! I just don't like keeping the gas cylinders warm tucked in my jacket, seems like a bit of a liability.
Part 2 of my visit to the Welsh Highland Railway. Again blessed with good weather and another beautiful railway.

Re: Aces travels and steam ups
Great video of a wonderful line, not yet travelled that section but I felt I was there!
All the stock looks so well maintained and when the weather is good, the views are magnificent.

Re: Aces travels and steam ups
We are hoping to get to visit this year all being well, and get to see some other people also.
Great video by the way.

Re: Aces travels and steam ups
Used to have some good fun in the Aberglaslyn tunnel, when I was involved in outdoor activity stuff. Shame they ruined it by putting a railway back through it I'll fetch my coat...
