  • Great video Justine! Please keep more videos coming of the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe.

  • Many thanks, OCT should be running by mid October now

  • Brilliant video Justin. Your zoom is fantastic and clear and the stereo sound as well.

  • Wuill post once the OCT is running, panning needs some work, bought a mounting bracket for the Manfrotto tripod, so pans should be smoother with more controlled zoom.

  • is this like a shot gun or it captures more noise

  • How I would have loved to stoke the engine through the Outeniqua Mountains into George and Knysna ... sigh ...

  • Great stuff Justin. Its hard to believe I once worked there on the steam and never thought it would ever end! Now 14 years on and there is not a working steam loco to be seen!! So sad. I wonder how long the locos at Voorbaai will survive before they all get destroyed??

    Regards

  • Your filming of steam is spectacular - Please keep on filming SAR Steam wherever you can because you have a real eye for the right locations and shots.

    I love the S-bend Climb, a most impressive shot selection!

    Regards
