Kent & East Sussex Railway May Steam Gala 2010 - Part 1

Looks like it was a busy gala... As for the external mic, best piece of equipment I ever bought! Worth every penny. Simon

Well it was their most intensive timetable ever, and it ran perfectly. In terms of visitor numbers trains seemed full and when trains arrived the platforms were heaving.

I would probably invest in an external mic when I am old enough (less than 3 years now...yay!) to go linesiding and am out in random fields more often! Bit awkward when you are jumping off busy trains like in this video. Thanks for the advice Simon.

As a long-time member of the K&ESR (since 1966) I watched with particular interest. Much has changed since then!! But not a lot (at Northiam, anyway) since I was guarding in 2003 before we moved away. Agree with the transition - have seen better. The wind noise didn't bother me, it's a fact of life. At least the wind keeps off the flies! . . . . Alan

Thanks Alan, I will remove the transition when I render the next part and check it isn't going to do the weird thing it was doing from about 5mins in! I could have changed it, but couldn't face deleting it and letting it take another 2 hours to re render!

Glad it was of interest.

I know the feeling - had one this morning, after 1.5 hrs. of uploading, suddenly failed "unknown error". Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
