sn Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 It occured to me today that I've never seen any moving film of the S&D before the time (1950's) of Ivo's work in the 1950's . Anyone ever come across any? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted September 15, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 15, 2012 There was some filing done in the 1930s as part of experiments on the effectivness of the Whittaker Tablet apparatus. I have got a copy of the report somewhere but have not actually seen the film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 15, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2012 Did Ivo actually start taking cine film before the BR instructional film 'Single Line Working' was made? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailWest Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I am advised that Ivo did not start taking cine film before 1959. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 18, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2012 I am advised that Ivo did not start taking cine film before 1959. Thanks, in which case the BTF instructional film on SLW will definitely pre-date Ivo's footage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 03060 Posted March 1, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2013 I've just borrowed a dvd set from a neighbour called Steam Through The Decades (I think) anyway on the 1920's disc , in the Midland section , there is an excellent black and white film of Highbridge loco works in around 1929 . All locos are in S&DJR livery approx 10 featured with a pretty in depth look at No45a 'Dazzler'......it's certainly now on my shopping list , copies were available through Steam Railway magazine late 2012 but I didn't realise the content then !!

RMweb Premium 03060 Posted March 9, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2013 I now have my own copy of the 1920's dvd (£12.99) . The quickest way to view the S&D clip is to go to the chapters , select 'The Midland in Scotland' section and then press rewind as the the S&D bit is just before .

jack768 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The BBC filmed the Centenary of the Somerset Central Centenary on August 28th 1954. It was shown on 'Childrens TV' on the 29th with a repeat the following Sunday. There is a snip in 'Steaming through the West Country DVD' but only a few seconds and v-poor quality. (I don't know if the snip is from this film or not) If you don't know the Centenary was run from Glastonbury to Burnham on Sea by both the Somerset & Dorset plus Clarks Shoe Factory. The Loco was 3F 0-6-0 43201 displaying her S&D number 64. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
