Re: Steam Tonight in Silverton

No, I surely don't have enough to do something like that. I just finished a conversion to DVD of our 1995 "Memories of N&W 611" where I added 14 additional minutes of a Betacam SP master that was lost, and later found after the program was edited. I added this to the end of the regular program without narration. The final shot is 611 near the summit of Peebles hill at night. Mainly its a great sound experience, and you see the headlight, and exhuast, plus the coach lights....a good way to end the 611 program.
I think the master night photographer O.Winston Link may have done a film with many of his night shots but I may be wrong. I know he did shoot some 16mm, and I think the museum in Roanoke may have it for sale.
Without using lights its pretty much a "stab in the dark"! " />
Had I had lights in South Africa that would have been a great place for some night video work. Unfortunately, there are few opportunities in this country to do stuff like this. Rarely does a NG train run after dark, and the days of long 300 mile roundtrip mainline excursions seems to be a thing of the past also.
You had a good thought, but I imagine even if it could be assembled it may have a limited audience. I can see some folks complaining that everything was at night!!! " />
