Down at my local Station to capture the 6B33 Theale to Robeston MURCO empties on a calm still evening at dusk....Beautiful lighting, and this is the result...enjoy.
A brave man to bare what looks like a very chilly evening at your local Station. Brilliant shots captured and even a few toots from the driver to finish off , keep up the good work Bob...Best wished W.V
+Western Valleys I know WV, I must be mad, but it was all made worthwhile to get the tanks passing through with some toots from a very nice Driver....Best wishes....Bob
Cracking video Bob....Lovely early Evening footage from your local Station....Came out very well..Good old X920 and The Main Man behind it !! Enjoyed it all very much especially the 60....Best wishes...Steve.-:)
+Steve Lewis Video Channel. Thanks Steve, a last minute decision, as the conditions were ideal, and Saturday evening workings are a new addition to the timetable.....All the best...Bob
+EMuksteam Thanks both, it's only those two lights, and small lights on the bridge, but the camera pick even the slightest light so well...Best wishes...Bob
HI Bob , that Camera the 920 sure does take great shot (with a little help ) even in twilight , very well captured and a good toot from the 60 driver ..Dave
+JPMiller14 Thanks Justin, the camera catches trains so well in nearly dark conditions....there was a Westbound MURCO on Sunday evening as well....so several extra trains at the moment....Bob
Yes .know the feeling, there are a couple of semaphores at Greenford Station still in the branch the one I liked was in the bay platform that went not so long ago its now a round led, I filmed there because of, I think the only wooden tread escalator left. its on line ...Dave
+acw71000 I totally agree Austin, it's that half an hour or so after sunset, before it gets dark....Semaphores are disappearing slowly, they may have a few years left, depending on modernisation of this section of the Main Line. We've only got Burry Port, Ferryside and Pantyffynnon left now...Bob
Wonderful footage on a very clear, and cold I'll bet, evening Bob! The station and surrounding lighting is a big bonus, much better then Kilmarnock and the results are first class images. Were you doing anything different with your exposure settings? I loved that typical "thudding" noise off the Mirrlees engines on the class 60 as it approached your position, adding a real sense of the power these locos possess and with 20 tanks in tow - nice melodious tones from the driver. Great stuff thanks best wishes! Ken
+Ken Browne Thanks Ken, the station lighting isn't as bright as the camera makes it look....I sometimes use manual white balance when filming in such conditions to warm up the image, otherwise on auto, the warm lighting is made to look too cold. The Good old 60's are ideally suited for these heavy workings Ken...Thanks as always for your comments...Bob
Thanks for the tips Bob! Fyi the x920 is all packed up ready to be posted tomorrow morning - looking forward to seeing the results! Best wishes as always! Ken
Robert Masterman Thanks for the encouragement Bob! It's on its way to them now, and they should have it by tomorrow all going well! Best wishes as always. Ken
Another great record from the west....thanks Bob
+Brian Tucker Thanks Brian, too cold to go too far...Regards...Bob

the lighting at that time of day was picture perfect Bob.
+canvids1 It doesn't last long Wayne, but pure magic if you can capture it...Bob

+MI Rail Thanks very much, that last shot was the reason for me going out...Bob

Hi Bob , Nice evening vid, like the semaphore and the clunk... Dave
+locomotive67 I've known that semaphore all my life Dave, and I will miss it when it eventually goes....Best wishes...Bob

Good Video A Horn Happy Driver On The Class 60. Liam
+Liam Blundell Thanks Liam, it all adds to the enjoyment.....Bob
Something special about filming at that time of day Bob when you get lovely light like that. How long before the semaphore is due for replacement?
