RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2011 here is something a bit different, recorded this a few weeks back and have spent a bit of time editing and adding music before publishing it to youtube.. this is the chiltern mainline recorded in time lapse at 1FPS, basically set the camera running in the 2nd mans side before i left london and turned it off once i arrived in Moor st (so as not to distract while moving) i then spent a few days getting some station shots and static shots inside the cab to make a nice little film. recorded from 82303 with 67018 pushing (although its 67013 in the vid footage) the music is by myself using garageband on the ipad, the first tune i've ever had a go at making and purely by chance the music break happened around banbury so i edited it slightly so it happened as the train stops im quite proud of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpgzNGNXHVc if you search youtube for "lets go to birmingham" you will find the original 1960s version from paddington to snow hill filmed on a blue pullman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary hill Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 You've done a good job there and it's very interesting to compare it with the original. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backofanenvelope Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Nice work Big Jim, amazing what you can do on an iPad! At the beginning there is a key with coiled cable is that like motorbike keys in case they come out of ignition? Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2011 Really enjoyed this, TVM! I take it that kettle parked at Moor St was the turnover engine for the trip back to London? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted August 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2011 Really enjoyed this, TVM! I take it that kettle parked at Moor St was the turnover engine for the trip back to London? In case you don't already know that is 2885 from Tyseley, used as an ornament to "Westernise" the station a bit. It is unrestored but cosmetically tarted up, although the paint is somewhat faded since it was first parked there some years ago. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice you managed to catch yourelf on camera getting on the phone at West Wycombe... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Excellent! Busy as well - how many trains came the other way? And at that speed I was flinching every time one passed. Oh well, back to the desk job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Interesting to see how it looks today. I reckon you should try it with the original music, mixed in with some shots of you in an ice cream man uniform Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Very enjoyable 4mins I was surprised by the number and variety of bridges passed under. Possibly would have preferred a slower speed though so I could have soaked up more of the infrastructure and atmosphere that for someone who virtually never travels on the railway - and never in thr front seat - doesn't normally get to appreciate.

Dukedog Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 A very professional job there Jim, I am well impressed, Liked the sound track too. Who needs HS2 with that speed! well done, look forward to the next one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted August 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2011 Great production Jim. Like Kenton, would very much like to see a slower speed version to soak up all the views. Living down in the far south east corner don't get north of the Thames much....in fact had a trip up the East Coast to York a couple of weeks ago...and realised that my last trip on the East Coast prior to this had been on the Ian Allan Special to Doncaster Works hauled by City of Truro and Midland Compound 1000 ........

RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 5, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2011 Great production Jim. Like Kenton, would very much like to see a slower speed version to soak up all the views. not a problem to slow it down, the software i used to edit the vid can also slow it down by 50% so 8mins, any slower and it becomes blocky, i will also upload it in full 1080 HD now i have a decent internet connection if i get a chance to do it when i finish work tonight i willl, i have already tried it while editing and its still viewable slowed down to a mere 950mph!!

Pugsley Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Top stuff Jim! B) B) B) B) I'm particularly impressed by the way you managed to drive the train into the platform and film it arriving Can I add a vote for a slightly slower HD version, as I'd like to have a bit of a gawp at the scenery as well.

Michael Delamar Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I dont know the stretch of railway at all, but have seen the original film thousands of times and always wondered what it looked like today. the stretch between Lemington and Snow hill I imagined all the yards would be gone and there wouldnt be so many lines, but its still a little bit of a shock to see it.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted August 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2011 Noticed there were plenty of Hi-viz around. Lots of work turning the route back into a proper mainline like it used to be. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of work turning the route back into a proper mainline like it used to be. Keith yeah, 31 days til "chiltern mainline" is live, basically princes risborough to neasden is having enhanced speeds (and a new down line at south ruislip), the linespeed through the suburbs will raise from 60mph to 100mph, there are also new through roads in risborough and bi-di lines at gerrards and west ruislip to allow the faster trains to pass local stuff, aynho is raising from 40mph to 85mph too gonna be a cracking line once its fully comissioned, hope it all goes to plan, looking forward to thundering through wembley at 100mph. there is going to be an evening loco hauled train to kidderminster too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Piszczek Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Very nice indeed! The run even includes the bit south of Bicester, which was missing from the original production... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
