Old Garden Railway Video.
« on: December 16, 2020, 07:03:29 am »
Hi,

With all the time spent at home I found that our old video player still works so I have been looking at the videos I made over very many years.  One of the earliest filmed was in 1987 using a very heavy Ferguson camera which fitted on the shoulder and was carried with several huge batteries in a flight case.  I worked for a short time repairing clocks for a client in Orinda California.  As well as working we did quite a lot of travelling which included railways large and small.  This video was made by the owner of one of the garden railways visited.  It is very poor quality but does show how well Mamod locomotives could be made to work in the dim and distant past.



Take care stay safe.

Tony.
