Hey there. Must admit, not used this old camera for a long time now. But I too had that problem. I noticed very quickly, that it was the lens motor not being able to push out the lens when you turn on. Something was jamming the lens, causing the camera to auto shut off immediately, to save it breaking anything more. Bit beyond my memory right now, but think I recall using my air compressor to blow out any crumbs or dirt from in-between the lens sections. BUT, make sure you cover the glass part of the lens!! Hope that helps at least a little 👍😊

Hey there. Glad you liked it.😀 If you look on my other vids, you can see 3 more vids, lots more coaches on two of them 😉 Thanks for watching

Hey there. That's exactly the purpose of the video, to fix that issue. Obviously that cover, needs to still be opened to get access to memory card and batteries. By using my idea in the video, ot allows you to simply undo it at anytime you want to access the cover. Hope that helps 😀

Hey there. That makes two of us for sure!! Outstanding event since I was a nipper many years ago 😀

Glad you liked it 🙂 The tankers certainly grown in size since those days. I'm fortunate enough to see the modern fleet up close, with working on the existing railway 🚂 😀

Hey there. That is a very good question! Exact date is beyond my history knowledge unfortunately, but my VERY knowledgeable Ex BR mate, says that a Flag Man was still being used into the early 90's, until the old TAR contact ceased. Also the barriers actually are recycled from another location on the docks, when the docks layout was ammended. Hope that helps ☺️

Oh wow, history is a lot more complicated than I thought; so did those barriers used to be on the swing bridge and then replaced with the Tully barriers or are they from somewhere else completely? I remember ones of the guards from RSR told me the Tully barriers used to be car park barriers before they were put in there

@@AutoUnder The guard you mention i've no doubt will be Martin or Clarkey as he's known if you've seen Nodrog's KZbin blogs. He's our 'Radar' of RSR (he'll curse me for putting that in writing, hahaha!) Doubtful they would have been on the swingbridge, the bridge itself is too modern in grand scheme of things. More likely another place on the docks that is not even there anymore. I'll have some more info on Strand Rd. to follow hopefully in the near future, my formentioned Ex BR mate is asking one of his old colleagues (from one railway bible mind to another, lol).

I used to drive to work down Strand Road, and I was periodically stopped by the flagman. There never was any signal or barrier even in 1992.

If you know anybody with a 3D Printer, ask them nicely, as I'm sure the same method could be used. Hope that helps 🙂

Hey there, ooo well done! Love your imagination and resourcefulness. Very pleased I could assist you too. Happy Photo Shooting 😀

Hey there. It's a great event, I've been going for 20 odd years. But this year was only my 2nd night time show, which I VERY highly recommend !! Have fun ☺️

Very true, well said ! I've now had a Canon 1100D with 2 lenses for several years, ideal camera for Astrophotography. But not everyone can afford a new camera, hence the cheap and easy fix tutorial. Thanks for your comment :-)

Ahh cheers for that :-) Like you say, only short way in so far. Great news is, thanks to a spring clean, I've just gained another 16ft parallel to the fiddle yard, along the other side of the room, YEY! With soo much flexi now in store, I just need some serious imagination, lol. THANKS FOR WATCHING...

Please sub to my channel

Hey there. Interesting question! Question for you though, do you mean "coal trains going to the brick works or somewhere else?"

Coal trains to the coal sidings at Ribbleton! off ribbleton dr. The old Longridge branch. I just checked google earth and the line's still there. I was thinking of doing the miley tunnel as it's 20 years since I did it last and it just occurred to me the coal yard's no longer there.

@@69waveydavey From what i have heard that is now a cycle path.

Hey there. You will find you can even still use a tripod, simply temporarily replace the short screw for your tripod screw. Obviously I cannot vouch this would be the case for every tripod out there, but it certainly was ok for 2 of my tripods. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting :-)

Oh yeah! We all have welding equipment handy.

Yep. Or Super Glue 😁

Hey there Micky. It is indeed, on average 4 days a week. The chaps are in charge of collecting and returning the tankers from the exchange sidings, to the Bitumin plant, using the old industrial Sentinel shunters (3 in the fleet). Thanks for your comment :-)

I live in broadgate, next to this line

It sure is

Hey there Ζιγουλάκολας. Hahah, no problem. To be honest, I was so disappointed that Fuji could make such a rubbish flimsy design, so I just had to remedy the issue, LOL. My hobby is heavy engineering, so I took that approach with good solid bit of steel, lol. BEST WISHES TO YOU :-)

Dierdre Strass Thanks for the correction, well spotted :-) All the effort of making the video, and only comment I get is for a typo, shheesshh!

Sorry I was the only one - nothing lowers credibility than seeing grammatical errors in "print". Thanks for being a sport about the correction.

Dierdre Strass No prob, it's all good stuff :-)

fab, thanks! Great ya liked it. My only dissapointment of the day, we had none of the big boys. Wanted to see some "Turbine Power". cheers, mr :-)
