Fair enough, but you haven't looked carefully at genuine 50s and 60s film. People shooting 8 or 16mm in those days didn't have 10 x zoom lenses (thank God). Not did many cameras have sound. Also, video needs a certain amount of post processing to make it look like film. I'm sure that, with care, it would be possible to recreate a 60s railway scene and possibly fool (or at least confuse) some people, but a good deal of work and thought would be needed.

Nice scenes.

Dear me -- what does it matter if it's the genuine thing or not? It is interesting and well put together and does the job of recollecting older times, which is, after all, what preserved railway lines and locomotives are about. To the person who made it well done and thanks for posting it.

Great video! the only thing I can say that at this time steam was getting rarer and small branch lines like this were either shut, being dismantled or had that air of the final days.
Nice video but please don't try to pass it off as something it's not (ie archive film).
The Steam bits are preservation era footage from the South Devon Railway and the Diesel is 40145 on a Railtour.

Some people don't appreciate the work I put into in doing this video, well you can't please them all.
And yes you are very clever in knowing the Steam is from SDR and the diesels are from a railtour, I think everyone knows that anyway.
