The Drawing Machine
Since starting work in Electrical CAD back in the 80's I have always been fascinated by pen plotters. Back in the day they were the only way to produce a drawing from computer, for me there is something special in physically dragging a pen on paper than a print made by laser or ink jet printer. So I made one...

Symphony - Vince Clarke

Just for fun video for the track Symphony by Vince Clarke.
Loved video, so much detail to take in, will be watching again and again. Have u done other areas on the island.
Wonderful. Very clever. Not all the green land/countryside that has disapeared.
Very good. How much wider the river was, coming inland from Yarmouth.
Awesome love it
I live in Freshwater. The River Yar is as it was back in 1945, it's just a low/high tide comparison.
My mother was born in Stephenson Rd, Cowes in 1914 and lived there until the family emigrated to Australia in 1923. She recalled a lovely day trip they all made to Shanklin Beach by steam train, the only downside being that she buried her bucket and spade too deeply in the sand and couldn't find it again. Anyone finding a tin bucket and spade on Shanklin Beach please notify us here in Sydney, Australia... ;)
Hi can you highlight the location of Lee and Wellow sidings please
Only ever passed through - there's some lovely walks around here.
Great footage. I loved it here but when I returned one yet it had closed for good. proved too expensive and no one went outside the summer months. Covid would have ended it all anyway.
Nice video, great to follow the track and see what has changed along the route.
Beautiful thanks so much for sharing
Interesting to see Gate lane in Freshwater. Thank you.
This is super cool
Relay the tracks F*** the motorists and houses built over the old trackbed
Fantastic technique, it must have taken some time to get everything lined up and the right scale. Many thanks for the effort.
Had to watch this twice, before I realised Tescos had moved from near the main road, to where it is now..............
That’s excellent,well done
The easy access to automobiles Signalled the demise of the railways
Now we see, in graphic detail, while it will be so hard to re-open the closed railway line between Shanklin and Ventnor!
Hard but not impossible!
I find this fascinating and also very sad. Excellent video.
Well done I love how you’ve put this altogether love how a lot of the field systems have remained the same but vegetation as grown in parts
This thing all things devours: birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.
amazing. Why did isle close down 90%of its line?
Some of the lines, like this one, were lightly used and were never profitable. Others that could (and should) have survived were killed by Beeching. The last surviving line, Ryde to Shanklin was also earmarked for closure by Beeching, but was saved due to local pressure groups. As the islands population has grown, the importance of a decent railway is obvious (especially to Newport), but those in power never had the foresight to maintain the trackbed and in many places buildings now make reintroduction difficult.
Thanks Grant, Grant
Fantastic video, and beautifully executed. It would be wonderful to see more of this kind of work.
Interesting exercise. You might make it go back the other way, reversing the 'then and now'' to 'now and then' !
Brilliant. What a wonderful path / cycle track this would be !
Thanks for sharing this fantastic split-screen video compilation - something which I have never previously come across! If there was one railway line which should have been converted, in its entirety, into a foot path, bridle way and cycle track, when it was closed by the Southern Region of BR, it should have been Freshwater to Newport!
Very good, well done. I went to school at Swainston near Calbourne and cross country runs were along the trackbed to 5 Houses, the ballast was mainly sea dredged aggregate and difficult to run on!
The Isle of Wight's railway network was built - and operated - on the cheap! Rounded shingle pebbles, either sourced from the beach or dredged from just offshore, don't have the same holding power as angular chunks of Dartmoor Granite from Meldon Quarry!
@@KempSimon The F.Y.&N was inspected by Colonel Yolland 3 times before it was allowed open, most of the bridges had to be rebuilt because they used to unslaked lime in the mother!
Love this, a brilliant idea, will need to watch a few times to take it all in, but remarkable how things have changed.
Excellent video
Brilliant
Fantastic!
What a clever idea and so well executed.
Beautiful. Interesting how little the countryside seems to have changed in 50 years.
Quite a few hedges have been grubbed up to make the fields larger and easier to cultivate with heavy machinery!
Because the train was removed, the areas without train service stagnated, while those areas with train service grew.
@@KempSimon the UK government subsidise the farmers all over Britain, to grow more crops after ww2, now no subsidise the farmers are putting the headges back.
Brilliantly done! It's interesting to see how much HASN'T changed......apart from the amount of silt in the river towards the end. I would live to see more of these.
The miles of hedgerow that have gone too ! Fascinating , thanks for sharing.
Very nice,
Brilliant! Fascinating, seeing things that I thought would have changed beyond recognition are still the same, yet others like the Yar which I used to sail on 50 years ago now looks so different. Good work!
What is incredible is the difference in the Yar - looks a more than just a low tide/high tide difference.
WHISKERS :D
Never seen this type of video before, thanks for sharing. Where can I find more ?..Mike in the Vale of Glamorgan
