What a great start to your visit to Carlisle Steve with the 37s. The video has reminded me off all-nighter I used to do collecting stock and there was a lot about in them days with all the post newspaper vans and sleepers etc.
antman09ful1 thanks Mike, yes it was a cracking start as I had only arrived 15mins earlier. I see why it reminds you of your allnighters collecting stock, and there was a few there this night doing exactly that. Cheers mate, Steve.
Surprising how busy it is, even though there aren't the mail and parcels trains there once were. Very evocative view of the coal train heading off at 16:00.
superb mate ,lot of good stuff going on at night! was down at Carlisle for a couple of days last summer and iv never been so bored with a days spotting and photography. might have to get down for a night session this summer.
I wish we could turn back the clocks to the 1970s, still a great video I shall have to venture more North this year and cover Carlisle and the Highlands to capture the Caledonian sleepers up there.....keep up the great work.........Mark
+spompey Thanks Mark, time machine would be great so we could go back with our modern equipment!! I am hoping to get back up to Carlisle & Scotland this year myself. Cheers, Steve.
I love trains.The big noisy dirty things they are lol.I lived in England and Scotland as a young child.My uncle worked for the railroad between that and trips I fell in love with them.You dont get the same sites and sound in the States as you do in U.K.I miss those times so long ago.
Thanks very much Steve. Was looking on ebay a second hand Panasonic I love it when you guys have big zooms and you bring the action from close up to far back. was thinking up to 100 times or is that over the top. Sorry to do this to you. can you tell us what size ssd cards and how many do you take for a day filming please ! on should we say a good day. ( i notice no ones asking these kind of questions) carry on the good work remember its more than trains your also recording a bit of History. Get people in your shots occasionally. In years to come your look back at these clips and its interesting to see how people were dressed.
+John Phillips Hi John, my primary camera has a 32GB Class 10 SDHC fitted which gives 2hrs 45min of recording time at 1080/50p which is much more than I need. My camera has 12x Optical zoom, and I never use digital zoom as you lose quality. I would recommend an Optical zoom somewhere between 10x to 20x. Too high a zoom gives new problems with stability as even the slightest vibration is magnified greatly.
An extremely interesting video. Thanks for sharing it with us. Question, from a U.S.A. railfan - how do they decide which trains shall be pulled by electric, and which trains shall be pulled by diesel? I saw passenger and freight pulled by both, throughout the video. Some of those diesels looked as if they were long enough to have two prime movers in them. Do they? Thank you.
+KGSnow2 Thank you. Speaking for the WCML then the majority of passenger trains are electric for the longer routes like London - Glasgow. The diesel passenger trains are still required for the non-electrified routes. As for the diesels in this video I think they all have a single prime mover, but I stand to be corrected. Cheers, Steve.
excellent video pal how do you get to do an overnighter on Carlisle did you have ask the staff or do you just turn up and tell them or is Carlisle open to the public 24/7 Cheers Liam
Great video bring back memories, used your list to make sure I have got everything. Please could send me the reporting code. and the to and from of the trackmachine .
Alexander Fisher thanks Alex. There was also a 66 working I missed sometime around midnight but Ken will probably have that one. I don't know the code for the track machine DR73109 but I think it was a cancelled STP working... Carlisle Upperby CE Sidings - Petteril Bridge Junction.
CPfilms1198 After a lot of trial & error I finally settled on rendering in H264 AVC where I created a custom profile that best accomodates the quality profile of my recorded files. I also switch off the Intelligent SVRT and fast rendering options.
Gosh, that 66 with all the graffiti over it at 1:55 looks ghastly doesn't it. You'd think they'd have cleaned it off by now. :-/ Interesting class 90 doubleheader. Top horn 5;11 :D

Ian Loasby Thanks very much, cheers Steve.
Thanks for that: can anyone advice what video camera dose one need to buy for filming scenes like this
+John Phillips Any camcorder that films in 720 or 1080HD. I started with a cheap Samsung (which I still use occasionally) and upgraded over the years.
Thanks very much Steve. Was looking on ebay a second hand Panasonic I love it when you guys have big zooms and you bring the action from close up to far back. was thinking up to 100 times or is that over the top.

+Tim Atkinson Thank you, I use a Panasonic HC-X920. Sorry for the late reply, cheers Steve.
Great video bring back memories, used your list to make sure I have got everything. Please could send me the reporting code. and the to and from of the trackmachine .

Great video Steve! May I ask what editing software you use? The quality is great!
CPfilms1198 Thank you. I use PowerDirector 10 by CyberLink. Cheers, Steve.
steve71p Care to share what render setting you use? The quality comes out great.
CPfilms1198 After a lot of trial & error I finally settled on rendering in H264 AVC where I created a custom profile that best accomodates the quality profile of my recorded files. I also switch off the Intelligent SVRT and fast rendering options.
Great video steve was at Acton on Saturday be sure check it out cheers James
TrainsHQ thanks mate, will take a look soon.
Think train needs oiling
Gosh, that 66 with all the graffiti over it at 1:55 looks ghastly doesn't it. You'd think they'd have cleaned it off by now. :-/
Interesting class 90 doubleheader.
Top horn 5;11 :D
AndreiTupolev It's not graffiti. GBRF have painted 66718 to represent the London Transport Museum.
