dougattrenholmebar Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 Model Railway based on North East England large scale junction in the 1960's. This film is a re-edited version of one which was published a while ago, using the technique of placing real world photographs in front of the moving images of the model. We join the DMU at the Branch End taking the route to west side of the upper Marshaling Yard and onto the the East Station with a 4MT running beside us on the goods line. After a brief stop we go through the south tunnel and emerge next to a Pullman Train travelling North on the fast passenger line. After travelling on passing the the lower Marshaling Yard and a further stop at the South East Station, we travel on to the South Bay on the Main Station where the service terminates.

dougattrenholmebar Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Model Railway based on North East England large scale junction in the 1960's. This film is a re-edited version of one which was published a while ago, using the technique of placing real world photographs in front of the moving images of the model. Traffic is busy at the junction today as we are given our route. Setting off from the South Bay Platform, we call at South East Station, pass the Lower Marshalling Yard and the service terminates in the North Bay Platform. At the termination of the route we head to the North Carriage Sidings after allowing further traffic to pass us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougattrenholmebar Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Model Railway based on North East England large scale junction in the 1960's. This film is a re-edited version of one which was published a while ago, using the technique of placing real world photographs in front of the moving images of the model. The DMU has retired to the carriage siding adjacent to the Pit Exchange Sidings from where we set off on this turn of duty. After allowing a passing through train we head the bay platform to pickup passengers, and, after waiting for a train of empty wagons to be brought in to the head shunt we set off for the Main Station through the West Tunnel. The last journey was through relatively quiet tracks (Sunday service, someone remarked). This journey is anything but, travelling finally to the Branch End through some busy end of afternoon traffic, evident by the Parcels Stock moving into position for the overnight mail services.

dougattrenholmebar Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Model Railway based on North East England large scale junction in the 1960's. This film is a test piece for me, trying out my new GoPro Hero5 Session camera. Just shooting a few scenes to get used to the settings. Hopefully the film quality should now match the photographs.

dougattrenholmebar Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Built in the mid 1850's this bridge is a survivor from Picton to Battersby line. Double track, the bridge is on the first section between the stations of Picton Junction and Trenholmebar. The line closed in 1958 but this piece of superb engineering is remarkably intact complete with its Yorkshire Stone coping stones and iron handrails. Repairs were made a few years ago to the brickwork, I think probably cheaper than demolishing it. The track bed is almost intact, amongst lots of undergrowth. The modern A19 trunk road passes nearby, with Trenholmebar station largely buried underneath it, but I often drive this way home through this quiet country lane and admire the bridge..... you can almost hear a train coming, so for just one minute only......

dougattrenholmebar Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Trenholme Junction - Class 44 D1 Scafell Pike on Passenger Duty This is a further experimental film combining real world photographs with models. I recently acquired a GoPro Hero 5 Session Camera and this is the first reasonable length film I've made with it, so some testing of the settings is going on. The sound on this film is unfinished. I wonder if anyone has any sound recordings of a Class 44 they would let me use and I'll re-edit it. I would like to thank Nigel Kidd for allowing me to use his photographs from inside the locomotive and James Culver for the view from the passenger coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougattrenholmebar Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 In this series of films I've been trying various different techniques for the filming of Trenholme Junction. One of the things I've come to regret when I built the train shed, was not plastering the walls. I never dreamed cameras would become so good. Although the walls are painted sky blue, you can still see the mortar seams in the films, irritatingly annoying. I've been experimenting this week and come up with this solution, it looks like a sky backdrop..... but look closely, the clouds are moving. There is some flicker on the clip, I know about that, but I think the principle is proved. Neat eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougattrenholmebar Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Another in this series of films in which I've been trying various different techniques for the filming of Trenholme Junction. This is a refinement on lasts weeks film using real footage of sky used as the backdrop. The flickering caused by the fluorescent lights in the the train shed has now been resolved and the remarkable depth of field this camera has is evident in this clip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wind is up a bit today and this test film shows how effective it is to have a moving back scene and how the model and the real thing can be blended together.

dougattrenholmebar Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Another in this series of films in which I've been trying various different techniques for the filming of Trenholme Junction. This short film uses the same background as that used in Experimental Film 7. There is some slight interference, I've not perfected this technique fully yet but I like the possibilities of blending the model and real world seamlessly together. The film is made and uploaded in 4k for those with the devices to view it in. Note the attention the horse gives to the passing train. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougattrenholmebar Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 In this film we jump onboard Class 46 'Peak' at the diesel shed at Trenholme Junction and head for the Lower Marshalling Yard. The 08 Yard Pilot removes a train of sand wagons from one of the sidings and places them in the dispatch road. We couple up to them. A Super D and train of mineral wagons ambles past on the through goods road and the DMU slips out from the bay platform in the station. A diesel hauled tanker train passes and clears the road for us to proceed onto the loop at the south end of the main station in preparation to cross all the running lines and into East Tunnel. Once traffic has passed we then pass through the South Bay and on to destinations unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougattrenholmebar Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) An afternoon filming the comings and goings around the South Bay Platforms of the Main Station at Trenholme Junction. Trenholme Junction is a OO scale model of a typical large town railway network as would have been seen in the early part of the 1960's.

dougattrenholmebar Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Continuing from last weeks film about the comings and goings around the Main Station South Bay at Trenholme Junction, we spend some more time around the same area taking in the views of the traffic. The Station Pilot 08 has a broken axle and from the glimpses you see, it's about to tie itself in knots. Several hours of filming had to be scrapped when this happened and the Marshalling Yard Pilot was mustered to help out. There are a lot of long shots in these sequences, I like the depth of field this camera has and the clarity of the objects far away. It also shows up any defects which have to be remedied. There is a new blog about the equipment used to film the layout - link in the comments section below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougattrenholmebar Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Following on from the South Bay activities recently, this film is at the opposite end of the Main Station. The operations of a busy large town railway in the 1960's, the film is made looking through the eyes of a nine year old child, (me) fascinated by what I see.

dougattrenholmebar Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Standing on the platform at the North Bay on the Main Station at Trenholme Junction in the summer of 1962, watching the comings and goings through the eyes of a 9 year old. There is a distinctly western theme about the motive power in the sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougattrenholmebar Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 The final part of this trilogy showing the sort of activity you would see if you stood on a railway platform anywhere in the UK in the 1960's. The 08 Diesel Shunter is the Station Pilot whose job is to move the rolling stock around within the station, making up the trains ready for the locomotives coming off shed. Looking from the eyes of a nine year child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougattrenholmebar Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Whilst filming the Christmas special, I don't have time to make the usual weekly film. This is a favourite of mine, made nearly a year ago, re-edited into monochrome, the usual production at the time Trenholme Junction is set. A journey around the Junction viewed from the cab of a 1960's Diesel Multiple Unit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
