Cows on the line

Model railways move, so for this diorama I needed a reason for every thing to have stopped.

Cows on the line is based on an incident that happened  back in February 2000 at Glyndfydwy on the Llangollen railway. I was there videoing the signalman working, so caught the whole thing on camera. The incident involved a pannier tank, I didn't have one spare. It is in 1:76 scale 00, and with Humbrol as the sponsors I thought having the signal box being repainted was a neat idea.

I have now been able to digitize the original analog VHS footage, of the incident at Glyndfydwy on the Llangollen railway back in 2000, that inspired my model Cows on the line.  I have had to edit it, and reduce the quality to fit the 32MB upload.  Yes I know that the cows in the clip are bullocks, but there will be some forum members, who would not appreciate what my sense of humour could, and would, with that.  Anyway the  Locoshed model shop didn't have any packets with bullocks in, so I bought cows.

Very amusing, although understandably not everyone thought so at the time!

 

PS: The video did take quite a while to download. Since it adds a lot to your model, would it be worth uploading it to Youtube and then embedding it in the thread, so people can watch it directly? (unless you dislike Youtube of course).
