Thanks for posting the Santa special vid, Mike. I was trying to find the times it was running on the website so i could see it on the station webcam but this is much better. Any snow around Somerset ? Have a Merry Christmas, you and Val.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thank you John for your Christmas Greetings which we heartily reciprocate. No snow around in Somerset, don't like the stuff at all.

Good to see so many people on the train. Also good to see Mike . Val and Percy out on the railway together. Nice day for filming . Did you get your garden sorted out Admiral.? Many thanks.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Yes Dave it seemed many people adults and children alike enjoying a train ride. As for our garden, we have a chap (who used to live next door) coming on Tuesday to clear it. He has been very busy, as you can imagine.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Until the vegetation is cleared away we don't know what condition the fence panels are in.

[@rsalt6015]

Nice day at Williton for a change. Noisy Zoom Mike.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Bright but surprisingly cold! Its awkward filming into the light. Regarding the Zoom, sadly no camera is perfect!

[@janinapalmer8368]

@@ADMIRALSCORNERuse an external mike + windsock ... that isolates noisy mechanisms and will eliminate wind noise too ...

[@janinapalmer8368]

Any chance of asking the staff at Whatchet or Blue Anchor why they've shut down all their live cameras ... I can't believe they're still working on the tracks ... I loved seeing Santa's Express making its appearance at Williton ... this same loco runs all the Santa trains if I remember rightly ... you captured the atmosphere beautifully... very good ... So where was this train heading for ..?

[@terrywatson7997]

Nice brisk day Mike and good to see plenty of passengers on board. Odney Manor looked very festive.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

@@janinapalmer8368 To be able to do that the camera needs an external mic input. Mine doesn't have one. I used to have a camcorder that did, but I like to travel light without all that extra equipment. My present camera has a similar quality picture and slips in my pocket. I have it with me at all times..
