Layout videos by Cliff Williams

[Cliff Williams]

Thanks to Richard for allowing a stranger around Heyside at Guildex, I hope you all enjoy the footage I have taken. There are a fair few nifty little angles I have spotted for the mini cam, but the show was not the place to do them.

Some footage of The Summit at Telford Guildex 2015.

We can't see the video. It has a "This video is private" flag.

Apologies folks - I did tell it to go from private to unlisted, but it must have been the point of the internet having a dizzy fit here!
Should be good now.

Beautifully shot video.
Beautifully operated railway.
Very convincing indeed!
I appreciate seeing this, as I couldn't be at Telford this year.
Many thanks
Mike

Hi Cliff,

Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to video Heyside. I had taken my video camera to do just that, but couldn't find any time. Besides which, your video, especially with that mini cam, is so much better than mine would ever have been.

It is much appreciated, and I have a record of the layout at Telford with all the appropriate stock, which only ever happens at an exhibition.

I was allowed in behind the scenes to film the NRM layout at York for The Great Gathering. Lawries locos and Stef's stock had populated the layout for the event.

A great souvenir of the weekend.

Thanks Cliff!

If you guys wish I can put the video onto a dropbox folder for a couple of days so you can download it onto your own PC. It is 2.1gb in original 1080p format.

Yes please Cliff, that would be great!

(BTW, my '37 uses has one of your speakers...)

Super to hear Tim which sound file do you have on it?

I have also added another video to the original post from Guildex 2015 of "The Summit" please go back to the top to see it.

Sorry for delay in replying Cliff.

The sound file is a Paul Chetter project on a Zimo695 decoder, with one of your round speakers firing downwards through a big hole in the tanks.

Incidentally, the speaker is "open backed" with the rear firing into the loco body. I've experimented with many speaker configurations in this loco and am convinced that this sounds better than using a full enclosure.

As a matter of interest, this loco also has a fan driven smoke unit - I'll couple it up one day.....

Cheers

Hi Cliff,

What a brilliant video. It brings back very happy memories of an excellent weekend. Probably unbeknown to you, you have managed to include almost all of the team in the various shots. I've noticed the occasional dubious movement which the "team" will have to address. I know Ivatt 4's are sprightly machines but one of the mineral trains seems to be out of control!

Richard, is there any chance you can put a link on the Heyside site to this video?

Best wishes

Hi Roger
It is one aspect of the hobby I really enjoy, capturing layouts in action. I try not to get in the way and it is great when you get free rein like I was given at the show.
Glad I got almost all of you in, purely by chance I reckon.
I also got a nifty panorama shot too which might have a few of the team in view as well.

Gresley Beat 2012 at York show.
Great welcome by Cliff Parsons and I must redo this one with my new cameras, not bad though for filming a show without live feedback, which I now have!

So that's where @7mmMick disappeared to for his "comfort break" (first 45seconds!).
