Re:
It's a common bedtime ritual around here to type "steam train" or some variation into Youtube, go full screen and crank the speakers to 11. So when I watched this just now with the boys AND said that the conductor was a friend of mine, well: my credibility here just jumped ten points. Thanks!
So who's digitizing twenty year old videos? It's cool, if obsessive. But then we are talking trains, aren't we?, grin! Hope all's well, Martin |
