Very nice as always. I went to Merstham for my video. Something I have noticed with steam and foot crossings is the number of times a crossing does not receive a whistle when passing the applicable 'W' board, as here, with the quick toot being for you rather than at the required distance to be effective. It is especially noticeable on the North Downs line, where there are numerous crossings but often most are not whistled for.

Thanks Ian, looking at the footage it doesn't seem like this crossing has a whistle board. As for the north downs line, various crossings along there have been modified, revamped or straight up removed, which no longe requires a warning whistle.

@@themodster OK, wonder why that crossing has no W board. However, I was thinking of years back when the BP used to run along the NDL, and most W boards seemed to be missed out then.

The elderly lady at Selling feels so at home seeing the train and engine driver sound the whistle. Her wave was moving to watch. Imagine 70 years ago and seeing her as a young lady doing the same wave to the steam trains of the day. Wonderful.

​@@themodster That's such a coincidence. That was the camera i was leaning towards due to the 4k 60p. How come you use manual focus? Do you find the autofocus unreliable? Also do you use the cameras onboard mics or is the sound from an external mic? Sorry for all the questions. Many thanks.

The autofocus can be unreliable at times, not always, but I prefer to play it safe with manual. As for the mic, I have a RØDE Stereo VideoMic Pro attached to it.
