Tanfield Railway

Steam locos awaiting restoration and in action on the Tanfield Railway, near Gateshead in 2009. The tracking shots were taken using a recently-acquired "GlideTrack"
device which fits on top of the tripod.

@johnharkness Hi John, thanks for the comment. The music is excerpts from various tracks by Jean Michel Jarre. (I have a music licence through my membership of the IAC which should allow me to use music on my videos). Apologies for the delay -my internet has been down for a while)

I went there back in 2007 and I was amazed at the amount of unrestored stock they had there. I thought it was quite haunting, despite the sun beaming down on the site. But now I want to go back there for a day and do some photography which I could possibly use in a University project. It's a great location :D Great work on the film, I especially love the tracking shot, definitely gives a mysterious feel to it. Excellent Job :D
