Thomas at the End of the Line
The Sandwell Valley Railway used to be very busy transporting both passengers and goods, but recently traffic has all but dried up. What will happen to the railway, Thomas and his friends?

Thanks Grant.LNR:123398 wrote:A bit of time spent on that sequence I imagine, nice work. While working for ABC TV doing drama, we shot chroma key work to be cut into the series we were shooting. I had always believed the camera never lies, but it doesn't always tell the truth either.

From initial idea to finished video it took about 7 weeks. However a lot of that time was taken up by waiting for people to grab to appear in the film.

Re: Thomas at the End of the Line
Thanks, and here at last is a link to the eagerly awaited second and concluding part of the video - https://youtu.be/_kKMqEGuDqA.
Re: Thomas at the End of the Line
Nice ending, I guess we can expect more episodes on a new railway when you get settled in. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Thomas at the End of the Line
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I am not sure why more people have not commented on this, it is by far one of the best things I have ever seen done with a garden railway. It made me quite sad to watch it and I hope the new line comes to fruition as quickly as possible

Re: Thomas at the End of the Line
Entertaining, if poignant, and a novel way to signal the end of an era Will the Wychbold and Stoke Prior Railway still offer Thomas the chance for heroics like his involvement in the great cave rescue?

Re: Thomas at the End of the Line
Thanks for all of the really nice comments. Sorry I haven't replied sooner but I've only just got internet access connected. Work on the new railway will not start until next year but Thomas and his friends will be involved in helping me with the work and I'm sure that their adventures will be recorded, so there will be more heroics like when he took the poorly caver to hospital.
Re: Thomas at the End of the Line
Very poignant - especially the last bit of Part 2. Looking forward to seeing the new railway develop. I assume the garden was a critical factor in the selection of the new house.

Re: Thomas at the End of the Line
The size of the garden and the fact that it only has a relatively gentle slope did help us decide on the property. Although making the video was tinged with sadness filming it was a cathartic experience which helped me leave the old railway behind with no regrets.
