Mamod Boulton R/C Diesel A Lockdown Special Running On The Village Railway Sunday 26th April 2020
The 16mm Village Railway in South Somerset opens its doors to a Lockdown Special with Mamod Boulton R/C diesel Castell Caernarfon in charge. The first part of the video is taken from the line side using a Sony A6400 camera in 4K. The second part is a drivers eye view of the railway using a MUVI action camera in HD mode, this being placed on a flat wagon and pushed in front of the locomotive. The bogie coach painted in BR Rail Blue is a IP Engineering generic design, the directors saloon is from a Brandbright laser cut kit. This kit was purchased from the original Brandbright not the company that now trades under the same name! I almost certain that it is not available anymore.
Thanks for watching.........
