The Owl Service is the only way to send really important stuff.
ggg.
There is footage there from two of us, we spent all day hanging around stations, marshaling yards and in and out of trains, the footplate stuff was Steve - I know cos I filmed him climbing up there.
Otherwise it's often hard to tell who filmed which clip - unless either one of us appears in the shot, it's funny really - when editing it I often found myself looking at a really nice shot and thinking, "that must have been Steve's" only to see him walking down the platform.
You see I was using the Sony PDX10 from Media section at College and he was filming with his own Sony camera - similar to the PDX10, but cheaper, I naturally assumed he'd be better at it than me, so seeing a nice shot and only later realising it was one of mine was really nice.
I did say I didn't have many stills, here's one more I've found, not of either Bittern or Wadebridge, this is of the 41312.
There were a few other trains in the marshaling yard you see - they were really the only ones I had time and leisure to take stills of as well as video.
There was also a Canadian Pacific Merchant Navy Class, called I think Bodmin, and a tiny bit of video of a 92212, that I can get stills from if you need that too. Plus a little green engine - might be the one they use as Thomas the Tank engine, not sure though.
Hurriedly runs off with the "get out of chair free" card before the Bryster changes his mind and tries to take it back.
