Some interesting footage. I asume you are still using your old VHS cam?

@Klingl3r Yes it's from 2002, though not the same camcorder that was used in the Berlin & Paris videos in the 1980s!

Used to ride those maroon trains round London in the 80's. Nice looking trains.

Enjoyed that - thanks for sharing.

@Yolticat Ok, but it could be possible. I have an 23 years old Panasonic VHS camera with lead battery *lol* and it still works.
