Here are some Ground Level videos.

I was up there last night, but my videos, are not as good as Andys'

 

Click the links to watch, they are on a Facebook page.

 

Sorry cant get the screen.

 

1.  Britannia Arrives @ Dover Priory

 

2. Night time departure of Britannia, from Dover Priory.

 

3. Vuclan Bomber fly past, Dover yesterday.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Shame you weren't there last night for the right way round departure of the return trip back to Victoria. The added bonus would have been the sight of a very handsome chap on the footplate....

 

We had a good run, there is really something that stirs the soul when on the footplate of an engine such as 70000 at 75mph, especially at night when there is not the distraction of scenery.

 

It really is an assault on the senses, and probably the most addictive drug ever.

May need to invest in a small tripod dt   ...  

 

 

 

PS. Or if you are like me and have 3 already - take them with you and use them.   .....   :jester:  :jester:

 

 I have 2, lost the instructions'

 

 

 

Well, have taken my night time video out of the developer tank, they are better than I thought ,

 missed the departure whistle, unfortunately...

 

You may see yourself, in the arrival shot Phil.

Lovely atmospheric video - maybe this bit of JMW Turner  'Rain (?) Steam and Speed' should have been a departure from Margate.

I reckon the last time I saw 7000 so bulled up was as a Boy Scout visiting the Festival of Britain Transport pavillion.

Thank you for posting, funny or otherwise.

 

Here some of the module for the DP Gully.

My feeble attempt, of what is not in the actual gully.

Not all are glued in place yet,I think they need to be more swept back,towards the topping that

looks a bit too formal.

There is a fox and 3.rabbits, in there too.

Guess who,forgot, to paint the tree trunks,before,gluing and flocking.

Well, yesterday and today, comprises of digging out, all running stock available, collected over

A 5. Year period.

Sort them into trays, test,to see which are dc or dcc/sound or not working at all,

also have some kind of system/order.

I may well put some up on Buy/Sell,RWeb.

Only if I can,find the key,that unlocks the Feedback facility for both Buyer &Seller.

Spent over an hour,both on the laptop and iPad last night, on trying to leave Feedback on an item

I had purchased,from a Private Seller,ie, member.

Am not knocking the website overall it works fine for me.

 

Sorting stock,Dover Town Yard.

So, while testing/repairing/re addressing/sorting stock.

 

Could not help myself, taking a few webcam pics, of the 4-Cep and MLv, in blue/grey livery.

 

An 8 car Cep set, rolls into Platform 2 Dover Priory, the rear,overhangs the platform by 2 coaches.

 

My shortened version,of Dover Priory, was to run,"Off Peak Services" only,, 3 car Electrostars, 6 car Javelins,

4-Ceps, 2 and 4 Epb's, MLv's single and doubled up.

MLv, glides in from Ashford, into platform 3, under the Folkestone Road,over-bridge,Dover.

 

The over bridge requires more work,to finish it, Crude ? it was my second scratch build 18 months ago.

Today, had a mail from AndyH, saying 20s were due in 1225..hrs.

I got there 1205, but had gone through 10. earlier.

Hmm, decided to wait it out, see what time the return was.

 

I have waited a year, since they came south for a test run.

3 times in that year, they were no shows, or ahead of time booked.

 

Today, was well worth the wait, turnaround time,less than 4 minutes..

I couldn't help but notice that my Internet connection is still operative   .....   which is very fortunate, in view of that video  .....

That Tanker which was spilling water, because of being over-filled, is a big risk and you need to be very careful when you are driving your 20s   .....   a spill from the Tanker in the wrong spot, going round the curve in the Tunnel could short-circuit your Leckie Metre Meter.     .......      :angel:

 

 

PS. Thanks for sending the Red Cross Parcel.  I'm not too worried if they are a bit late   .....   .....   I  ...  can always   ...........................   p .. p .. pick-up a Penguin  .....   :sungum:  :sungum:

Quite liking the new livery, although SE have to be the most indecisive TOC ever when it comes to liveries - there must be at least a dozen variations of their livery in circulation at the moment. I wish they would just decide on a colour scheme and stick with it!

I saw a unit in the new Southern livery on the Deal webcam and I thought uck!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now seeing it your excellent photos it is confirmed who ever thought that was a worthwhile livery?

Thanks for posting lms.

Had a look into cams near, unable to locate.

Thanks for post, tjf4375.

Liveries are pretty much bog standard here in Dover.

Here are some "still photos" of arrival of Class 20s and departure.

 

Sorry for delay, had to spark up the laptop.
