    Thank you as always Rob, for your kindness, it was an excellent day, and provided a much needed intake of steam, with the weather being a large contributor to a wonderful day out....Bob

    Well done Bob. So glad that the weather was kind. It allowed you to make one of your best videos yet. It was great to see those little locos pushing up the inclines. Bags of steam. Great. And it was good to see lengthy shots which allowed us to see human interaction with the railway. Thanks for posting. This one was special too.

    Wow! looked a great event Bob, and the weather was nice too! - I loved how everything looked so immaculate and pristine, almost to the point it all looked brand new. The two engines looked in Mint condition with proper nice paint jobs on each. Well smart.
    Best chap around to capture it too...Excellent :-)

    Thanks again, it's refreshing to see industrial locos working in the right environment, and as part of a World Heritage Centre, they work very hard to get things looking their best....Bob

  • @robmasterman
    @robmasterman  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well worth a visit Dave, because of the steep gradients, the locos always put on a great show....Bob

    Thanks Keith, my first outing for a while to film steam, so it was a wonderful treat, especially in sunshine, which is something few of us have seen of late.The corner logo has become necessary as my work is being used by many sites, so it ensured the owner is known....Bob

    A very enjoyable video Bob. Two fine locos on duty there. These 1940s events seem very popular with many preserved railways. Regards, Jeff.

    Very enjoyable Bob. I really enjoyed the video. Had planned to be there myself on the Saturday but other events took priority!
    I like the new NER coach. Thought No19 wasnt going to stop at Blaenavon HL!

    Good to see some sunshine to accompany those lovely locos working hard.
    It's a major problem for the P and BR, it's so high up that an overcast day along the coast can be thick, miserable mist up there. Always take at least one more layer than you think, and a waterproof!

  • @robmasterman
    @robmasterman  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Steve, it was a much needed shot in the arm, and very enjoyable....Hope all is ok with you...Bob

  • @robmasterman
    @robmasterman  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks John, I have had several pieces of my work used without prior permission, whilst I don't mind anyone using it, this bottom left title ensures they know who the author it....Roll on February and March...temperatures were up to 27 then without the rain....Bob

    Very nice. The scene from 05:00 shows the gradient well, doesn't it. Nice job they've made of the stations, very attractive.

    The choice of equipment is immense, and the initial setting up costs can be considerable, I started with mini DV cameras which can be bought on EBay for relkatively small amounts, HD cameras are more expensive ..it's up to you what you want and can afford......Bob

  • @robmasterman
    @robmasterman  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The choice of equipment is immense, and the initial setting up costs can be considerable, I started with mini DV cameras which can be bought on EBay for around $70, HD cameras are more expensive and start around $300...it's up to you what you want and can afford......Bob
