Something a *little* different coming next..
Added 2024-02-19 23:59:06 +0000 UTCHello everyone, next video is coming very soon, and it's going to be a bit different to anything I've done before. I was invited to make a video about the Diamond Valley Railway, which is an amazing 7 1/4' gauge (184mm) passenger carrying miniature railway near where I grew up in Eltham. It has really intensive operations, and is fully signaled using Victorian Railways signalling practices - pictured above is an 80 lever frame, inside one of their two signal boxes. What makes this video different, apart from the smaller-than-usual subject matter, is that it's been made with the full co-operation of the railway, who gave me virtually unlimited behind the scenes access, and even ran some extra trains for the benefit of filming. For the first time on this channel, this video will also include some interviews with some of the people involved, which I think really pulls the whole thing together. I'm quite excited about this one, it's a bit more of a traditional style of documentary than what I normally do, which has been a lot of fun to produce. At this rate I'm expecting to have it done by the end of the week, but I'll also be running it by my contact at DVR to make sure they're 100% happy with it before it goes live, so it could get pushed back a bit if changes need to be made. Either way, shouldn't be too far away!
