[@keithwilliams1974]

This (Castlebar) is where l grew up in the '50s The change is unbelievable. lnterestingly, in those days all the rail embankments were bare as they were always catching fire because of sparks from the steam trains

[@jamieevans9998]

cracking video pal

[@DieselDudeRailway]

Excellent video.

[@SouthCoastTrainspotter]

Great Video

[@owenevans83]

Good stuff.

[@jeremywilcox]

A lot of work, well presented - thank you for the time taken. Camera?

[@southofthethames]

Camera is nothing more than a cheap (£160 in Currys) Panasonic HC-V180, mostly in full manual exposure. the tripod was used here was an old Jessops. Worth pointing out I've had four robbery attempts when shooting from roads and parks around west London, Stations are a lot safer if in London than from the public areas. I now had to replace the Tripod this month with a £50 Manfrotto one.
